So my phone fell out of my car in my driveway and apparently I ran it over when I backed out, now it won't power on and the screen is broken.

I've replaced the device, but I'd really really like to get the data off my old phone. The battery is still good, as I've put it in my new phone and it works fine. When I plug in the run over phone, the LED for charging doesn't come on, and when I press the power button, it doesn't turn on.

When I got home and realized that I ran over the phone, the home screen was still a little visible on the cracked screen, and frozen, so like an idiot, I yanked the battery in hopes that it would still power on, but it won't.

If I could just get it to power on and plug into my computer so I can get my data off it.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

So Activesync doesn't kick on when you connect the phone to the computer?

If no sign of life is visible, and your data is absolutely crucial, then the only thing to try would be to buy a phone that you can take apart, and replace if with the guts of your phone. As long as the main board was not damaged, the memory should still be intact. Try eBay or Craigslist for a phone someone is selling for parts (like one with a broken screen or something, but which still makes and receives calls).

Good luck.
