If it has more than one stick of memory you can take one or two out, depending on the system, till all the memory is good, then you should be able to use the machine, albeit at reduced performance. In some machines the memory is installed in pairs. That will save you from buying memory.

If you can't get the laptop to work with reduced memory, as Tyger suggested etc, then you can still recover the files on the hard drive without the laptop being functional.
All you need to go is buy an external 2.5" drive caddy. This will allow you to remove the drive from the laptop, place it in the caddy then connect the caddy to any computer via a USB port. From there you should be able to transfer the data over to that computers hard drive.
Heres an example of the sort of thing I mean :
