It's not strictly true if the laptop is broken that you cannot get your saved games back, as long as the hard drive is ok you should still be able to reclaim your saves. It will however, require the hard drive from the broken machine being removed and connected directly to the new machine (effectively making it an external drive). I've had to do this in the past and it worked fine. Removing a hard drive is not as difficult as you may think as long as the old laptop is not a sealed unit ie it doesn't have any screws on the back. If you do have screws just undo them and remove the back. Then you can unplug the hard drive. To connect to the new machine you will need to get the correct adapter(lead connector) or a external drive case from a computer shop these are reasonably cheap. Once the drive is connected to the new machine it will show up as a new drive on your drive list. All you need to do then is find your saved games and copy in to the saved game folder on the new machine.
