My Surface Pro Will Not Boot Up! How to Recover Data?

My Surface Pro 5 will not boot up. I have tried some ways to boot up, like holding down the power button, a combination of holding down the power and volume down buttons, and keeping the device plugged in for 24-48 hours. But they all didn't work. My Surface Pro has already been out of warranty, so I have to pay too much if I turn to Microsoft Support to get it repaired and refurbished. At this point, I don't care if the device works or not, and I just want to recover at least some data from the hard drive. Can anyone help me?
