Hi There,

I would be extremely grateful for any advice here. I stupidly dropped my S3 in a garden, and left it overnight (it rained. Phone does switch on fine, and homescreen comes on - however the screen is unresponsive and I therefore cannot unlock it. I have arranged a repair through my phone insurer, but they advised me to wipe all data before sending it. I tried to upload everything to my PC via Samsung Kies, but because the phone is locked it won't let me upload the content.

I have looked on Youtube and tried a few fixes that haven't helped with the screen. Any advice on how I might save the data?

Thanks in advance,

Nick
