How to back up when touchscreen is broken

[heidisymonds]

Hi guys! 

I have a Z3 compact, a few months ago the back screen smashed which made no effect on the use of the phone but now out of nowhere the front screen has a hairline crack (i haven't dropped it since the smash of the back glass) and the touchscreen is completely unresponsive. I want to send it away for repair but need to back it up, with no touchscreen i cannot unlock the phone to type in the password which means it won't allow me to access any files. Does anyone know a way around this?

Thanks!

1. Buy a USB OTG
2. Connect a mouse
3. You should be able to backup your phone

Is there any way of doing it without having to buy anything?:smileysad:

The cable it's really cheap, but you could try to use Sony PC Companion but if you have a lock it might not work.
