Dropped phone, cracked and black screen

[prophet01]

After many years of great service I managed to drop my Sammy I9070 S Advance.

Screen's cracked and all black save for the menu and back function buttons at the bottom so it appears to be working but I obviously can't see the pin input screen to unlock.

 

Fortunately I regularly back up all contacts, texts etc using MyPhoneExplorer but now need to access the phone using my laptop to get the media off the phone.

It's not really worth repairing so does anyone know of a way to enter the pin to unlock?

 

Someone did suggest drphone software but it's relatively expensive and not guaranteed to work.

Can't you slave the phone screen to the laptop to see the other functions? Google is your friend.

I've spent much time searching on google.

If you know of a site with instructions please provide a link.

I simply need to be able replicate the keypad screen on my laptop screen to be able to unlock the phone. Then I can access the data using the laptop.

If all else failed you could have it repaired as the same happened to my note 5..cost me about 2000baht.

Yes Gaviny,  I'll will do that as a last resort, but I'm hoping someone will know of a way for me to do it without having to spend any cash.
