Hi! I had recently cracked my screen on my Galaxy 5S, and even though the crack was a single line across the screen, the screen does not display anything, stays black. The phone still works, the bottom buttons lights up, my notifications and sounds are still working, its just the screen is black. I want to retrieve my photos, however, I need to unlock my phone in order to connect my phone to my laptop. I was wondering if I connect my phone to my TV through an HDMI cord, will my phone display on the TV? Also, will my phone still respond to my touch?

Are you going to get the phone repaired? If so then make sure to remove your sim card and your information should still be intact.
