Retrieving data if screen is damaged

[Heidifly]

Hi, yesterday I stupidly smashed the touchscreen of my xperia S and it is no longer responding. I would like to retrieve the photos and videos before I send it away. How do I do this if I can't navigate using the phone? I plugged it in to my PC but nothing shows up...

Well, as long as it's just the screen that's broken you should be able to transfer your files to your computer. However, if something else broke along with the screen it might be very hard to get the photos and videos out of the phone.

Take a look at this thread for some tips regarding USB-connection.
