Needing files from old 2013 Mac laptop

After having my Mac lap top for more than 6 years (starting around 2013), it died and I honestly can’t remember what happened. I do remember it had a virus in it and an independent IT guy cleaned it up at the time (around 2016). Then just died and would never turn on except for a blank screen. Any suggestions? And if I brought it to Apple, would they charge me for this?

I don't think that Apple will attempt to retrieve your files. That is not their responsibility. You could take it to an Apple authorized repair specialist and get a quote for the work needed. Most likely it will be expensive. That said, it points out the need for backup of a computer. Does this mean that your current computer is also not backed up?
