My phone screen is shattered, totally un-usable. When I plug it into my computer (Linux Mint) it is recognized but I can not enter pin to unlock the screen and also USB debugging is not enabled :(

Is there any way to get the fotos and stuff off the phone?

You are right, thank you. The screen shows 3-4 verticle lines of working pixels (about 1/3 of screen length), everything else is black. The lines comes when phone is turned on with power button and off when phone is turned off, so, phone still works somewhat.

Does that give you any ideas??
