Help galaxy s with cracked lcd

[BelBird16]

Hey there. I dropped my galaxy s and cracked the LCD screen. Phone turns on but now I have a black screen. I can get a new one through my warranty for $199 or get a new screen put in for $287. My friend sold me her galaxy s for $80 instead. My problem is..... How do I get all my data off old phone? Been trying to connect to Kies, but it tells me to connect in "PC studio mode", which I can't do because of black screen. Does anyone know if it is possible to get all my info from old galaxy to new one please. Thank you. Bel

First you would have to replace the screen in order to know what is what.

Sorry to hear about your screen. I was also in your situation about 3 weeks ago (dropped phone and lcd shattered, also damaging digitizer).

I searched for a week on how to connect my phone via KIES to backup my data, but to no avail. There was no way I could get my phone into the Kies mode since the screen/digitizer was unresponsive.

I ended up taking my phone to a local mom&pop cellular repair shop and had the screen/digitizer replaced, and now all is good. I've since backed up my data and upgraded my firmware from 2.1 to 2.3.3

Do a search for a local samsung galaxy s repair shop in your area and hopefully you'll find a place that is cheaper than the prices you listed.

FYI, the screen and digitizer comes as a 1 piece assembly.

Good luck.
