Hello!
So, I know there are a lot of threads on a lot of different pages about this issue, but I can't seem find a solution to my specific problem.
So I dropped my phone and the lcd screen broke, without the screen cracking, and it currently looks like this:

The thing is, when I click the home button it lights up, and I swipe right to unlock it, and when I randomly press all over the screen it vibrates, as if I'm entering the wrong code to unlock it. That should mean it still works inside, right?
I've read that you can retrieve your files by connecting it to your laptop in one way or another. Here comes my problem, my phone wont connect. It doesn't get detected anywhere. I know it could have something to do with the fact that it's locked and I can't unlock it, but is there any way to get past that? Or am I completely screwed here?

Thanks!
