got an LG MS769, I broke de display and I want to take my contacts out, in order to transfer them to a new phone, my question is: Is there a file that I can access from my PC and copy or open it to see my phone contacts.
I appreciate any help.

If they were stored as Google contacts then they will have been backed up to your Gmail account, as long as you had contact sync enabled.

If not this will be tricky. If you could use your phone's contacts app you could export them to a vcard file which would give you what you want, but unless you already did that that won't help now. The contacts database is in a section of the phone's storage you can't access directly without root. If you have USB debugging enabled an adb backup should do it (maybe even a direct adb pull of the contacts database), but if you haven't then I can't think how to enable it with the screen broken.
 
Hi Arnaldo,

I removed your email address from your post. This is a publicly-readable forum and we'd hate for your email account to get blasted with spam. :thumbsupdroid:
