Miguel Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 They are solid state and AFAIK unless you can get it to turn on and connect to the PC you're pretty shafted I'm afraid. Depending on how it's broken you may be able to get it repaired and recover the data that way, someone with more knowledge would be able to confirm this though.

toyoti143 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Depending on how it´s broken, the screen has broken? has broken usb connector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraShaun Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Have you tried resetting it- Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project Blitz Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 i was using it- funnily enough i was on this site! and it froze on me its done it before but this was different in that it wouldnt "master reset" (when you hold the two buttons together) and just froze for hours i took it to a local phone repair guy who tried to open it but apparently it was glued at the top- weird, but i did see it & it was stuck. anyway he says he cant get it to turn on. usb is fine battery should be fine might be a software thing? i have pics of my family, mainly baby that i need from when she was born really upset as i was meant to back them up the night before but got called into work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Rendar Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Have you tried resetting it- Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds Mine appeared to die a month after I bought it. Black screen and completely unresponsive. It wasn't recognised by the computer either. The used the solution above and it restarted fine. I've never had an issue since.
