a dog ate my T616

No joke...my friends dog ate my T616 while I was sleeping at her house the other day. I almost booted the damn thing!

Here's the aftermath...




Big thanks to RogerPodacter for selling his old T616 to me. Anyway, the LCD doesn't work and the thing only turns on once a day when my 7:10am alarm goes off. Is there anyway I can get some of the data off the phone? Like the phonebook and some pics?

If you can still get the phone to turn on and stay on, get a data cable (NOT a bluetooth connection) and connect it to your computer. You can at least pull the pictures, ringtones and phonebook but probably not your sms/mms/email.

edit: Looks like the only thing damaged was the power button (dog probably swallowed that), antenna and casing. If his slobber didn't get into the battery compartment, you should still be good to go. Replacing the case, antenna and screen will cost too much. Best to buy another one, like you did.
