Desk read error occurred. - eviltoast

What’s going on here? A week or so ago this showed up and haven’t been able to turn on my laptop since. Some hardware issue?

    Don’t waste your money. If the data is really important, send the disk to a data recovery service to avoid risking further damage. If it’s only somewhat important, use a (free!) tool like ddrescue to attempt to recover the data.
