How to retrieve files from a dead laptop

hi! my one-year-old acer aspire one netbook won't turn on and i'm thinking of bringing it to acer for servicing coz i don't know anymore how to make it work again. (this has happened to me about 4x already and i already tried doing the bios thing but it didn't work.) i'm wondering...is there a way that i can get my files from my dead acer? coz i have documents there (which i'm afraid i have no back-up copies of) that i need to print asap. thanks!
