Just pull the HDD from the fried laptop and plug it in to one of these, then connect the USB from the connector into the other laptop

use old laptop hdd into external HDD.
You will not going to see OS side but you have a chance to see files that are movie, music or doc.

for future please use one of this unit.

It depends on how old the laptop is on which connection type it will have. Laptops within 5 years or so all use sata. So you can either get an external enclosure (which is oddly cheaper) or a sata to usb adapter. $6 and $10 respectively.
