N9 screen broke, need help with geting my data back

So my lovely n9 64gb screen broke and I have a lot of important data on it. Paswords and important date ect.

The screen doesnt light up at all. The touch screen layer could be broken, automatic usb connection mode isn't mass storage.

If I'm correct, I will have to use some kind of a flasher and create a backup. And I have no idea how to do that. If someone could send links to those things that I will need, I would be glad.

Im using w7 on my computer but vitual linux environment.
I can download debian or any some other distro if it would be easier with one of those.

Just buy a new screen. These are quite cheap on ebay already.

Easiest is if you have ssh login enabled on N9 and the device is automatically connecting to your home wifi. Then you could just ssh into your n9 (or use winscp on windows):

Code:

$ ssh user@192.168.x.x

...and copy all important files to some other computer with scp.

Code:

$ scp -r /home/user/MyDocs <your username>@<your desktop ip adress>:~
