Xperia Z3 compact internal memory access challenge :)

Hello all,

A few days ago, while walking my way back home, a drunk girl bumped into and a combination of my clumsy hands and gravity left my phone lying on the street with the screen on one side and the bare phone on another. Since that day onwards i have been trying to access my phone's internal memory one way or another but was not successful. So here is the situation:

Phone display has completely come off the phone's body, so cannot use a usb otg mouse or a keyboard
Phone screen is locked with a numeric code; Xperia companion always throws a popup to unlock the phone
USB debugging is not enabled; sadly
Phone was working because i heard the alarms ring, but since i could not turn them off, i simply turned of the phone by pressing volume + power key and the phone vibrated 3 times
Now when i press the power key it vibrates once and companion again shows the same popup

Things i tried:

Accessing phone via adb, but it says that usb debugging is not enabled.
Tried getting the screen replaced from sony service center, but the cost is equal to 70% of the phones purchase price.
Bought a usb to otg converter and tried to unlock the phone with keyboard and mouse completely blind.
Read, read and read forums but to no success.

Being a complete noob at this, i really have no clue of what else can be done. It would be awesome if you guys could help me access my phone.

I suggest you post this on XDA forums,,,

if you are unwilling to shell out the paymen for the device (me too..) is suggest to take it to a trusted repair center. try to see if they can connect the screen until you get you data out of it,.

you can have access of some your data on your google account,,. like contacts and calendar
