Last night, my N810 landed flat on the hardwood floor, and the display cracked. The unit still seems to work fine - I get the expected start-up sound a short while after turning on power, I can connect it to my laptop as a USB storage device, and the touchscreen and keys make the expected clicking noises on the speakers - but the display is utterly garbled.
I'm still debating exactly what course of action to take, but in the meantime I'd like to get my data out of the internal memory. The only real barrier to this is getting the unit to connect to my home network (without being able to see the display), after which I can use SSH/SFTP to clean things up.
What I'm hoping is that someone could provide me with the offset (in, say, millimeters) from the edge of the touchscreen to the center of each of the 3 rightmost icons (I can't remember exactly which position the icon for network connectivity was taking, but I know it was on the far right side). After that, the vertical offset for the "connect" item in the menu (or, better yet, a series of keypresses to select and activate this item). Once I have the connection dialog open, the home network should come up as the default - can someone confirm for me that I could connect by pressing either "enter" or the "center" button in the middle of the "arrows"?
Alternatively, if anybody knows of a way to establish this network connection using only keypresses, this would be even better, since I can't be sure that the touchscreen is working properly.
Of course, if anyone has any alternative suggestions for accessing /home/user on my unit, I'd be open to those as well.
Much thanks in advance!
