Given that it's a deceased phone, there's not all too much you can destroy in terms of screen connectors. If it's really just the glass, you can get it for a few dollars on ebay. What's broken, exactly? | |
| Apr 15, 2015 at 7:46 | comment | added | Phoenix | Personally, if feasible for you, I would bring it to a store and specifically have the screen repaired. If they have the parts and are not too busy, the fitting time once your phone is worked on is about 1-2 hours (or less). While a backup is always recommended when having a hardware serviced, to my knowledge they do not restore the phone to replace the screen. Ask the store when contacting them. Repairing the screen will normally not be free of charge, but should be way less than having a phone serviced, let alone buying a new one. | |

Seeing that he bought a new phone, there is a chance the old phone may have laid in standby in the meantime running out of juice. | |
