need to find a tech who can repair the samsung 2s hard drive connection inside the phone so that the battery will charge to be able to access the phone OR a tech who can access the HD to get the data off the hard drive that need to be transferred to another device. A basic repair shop said they do not do HD repairs.
@bluequill3 your phone does not have a HD. All files are stored on memory IC’s on the motherboard. Unless you can get your phone to power up there is no way to get the files off it. You mentioned to get your battery to charge, so I surmise your phone does not have any power. Start with a new battery and work your way forward from there.
