can you retrieve data from phone that wont boot.

[Android Central Question]

my girlfriend has a galaxy s7 edge that 99% of the time won't turn on, and if it ever does it doesn't boot or turns off pretty much instantly. it doesn't register as charging when you plug it in.

if she sells it will anybody be able to retrieve anything from it. it is password locked but is full of photos, 'remembered' passwords and contacts.

A good technician can remove the memory chip, put it into another phone and retrieve everything from it, but the average user wouldn't want to buy it at all, since it's useless for anything but the screen and case.
