transfer data from mobile with broken (and locked) touchscreen

[Bigs]

Hi Folks,

I smashed the touchscreen on my z3 compact and now have replaced it with a z5. I'd like to transfer the contnt from by old phone to the new but busted screen means i can't unlock it, let alone access Transfer App. Haven't made a backup online. Any ideas how to work around this problem?

Thanks.

Ok, Yup that worked fine. OTG cable connected to mouse worked! Many thanks.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and found this thread while searching for a solution on the following problem.
A local store destroyed the connector from the panel to the motherboard on my xperia z5compact. I got a new phone as a compensation and now need to move files from the old one to the new one via my pc.
The problem is that the panel and the rest of the phone/motherboard/disc etc has no physical connection, the two sections are totally separated.
When connecting the unit with the USB-cord to my computer nothing happens. When pushing the on/off-button nothing happens.
What I look for is a way to be able to copy files from the phones memory to my pc for backup.
I really need help how to solve this - thanks in advance!
