Need Help XDA orbit - Touch screen broken

[DiscoDaveUK]

Well I have managed to break my touch screen on my 02 XDA Orbit :(, not a big problem as I have a spare XDA Orbit.

The problem is I need to access to the broken one, the phone powers up into the unlock screen, but I cannot get any further due to the touch screen being dead :(.

I have loaded mymobiler onto my PC to try to control it through that. The program requires an acknowledgment on the phone so that the application is installed, cannot acknowledge this because of the broken touch screen.

I would like to know if there is anyway of unlocking the touch screen, so that I can control the phone using keys or through mymobiler.

Any help is appreciated, I have used the search engine and google, but cannot find if it is possible.

For what purpose do you want to access the phone?

If you got a spare LCD-Display, just replace the old one and you can acces the device.
Or does your data get lost if you take out the battery?

Another solution for exporting contacts and other data is Jeyo Mobile Companion (http://www.jeyo.com/companion.asp). So you can save your data and repair the device afterwards.

Thanks for the reply. I have several applications on the phone that I need info from, so that I can register them on the new phone.

I do not want to remove the screen from the working phone just to get at the stuff I need. I might end up with two broken phones :eek:

There must be a simple way of deactivating the screen lock feature :confused:
