Another thing you could try is swapping the motherboard into a donor phone of the same model. If you can get a cheap used OnePlus X, you might be able to at least boot it normally and grab your files.
If the display’s fully dead then yeah, you’d basically be clicking blind. Some people mirror the screen with special tools/software but it’s not always straightforward with older phones.
That’s interesting. Never thought about a mouse… do you think it’ll even show anything if the display’s dead? Or is it more like “click and pray”?
Yeah sounds like you might need to unlock it via screen first, which sucks if the display is gone. One option is using an OTG cable plus mouse to navigate blindly. Plug the OTG in, attach a mouse, and see if you can at least unlock and enable stuff.
Just tried..it makes the “device connected” sound but nothing shows up in File Explorer. Guessing that’s not a good sign?
If it connected to your laptop before without any popups, then yeah maybe it was already allowed. You can check by plugging it in now and seeing if Windows recognizes it.
I honestly don’t remember if I had USB debugging on. I used to transfer files to my laptop back then though… does that mean it might’ve been on?
If USB debugging was already turned on before the screen died, you could try hooking it up to your PC and use ADB commands to pull data. Without that, it’s way trickier.
I’ve got this old OnePlus X lying around (Android 6). The screen stopped working a while back and I even ordered a replacement, but turns out that one doesn’t work either. Could be me messing up the install, not sure.
Either way, I’m basically stuck with the phone’s mainboard and no working display. I don’t care about fixing it anymore, I just really want to get the data off it. Tons of old pics and notes are still inside.
Anyone here know if there’s a way to pull the data without a screen, or am I screwed?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been running into a blue screen error on Windows that shows up as:
EXCEPTION_ON_INVALID_STACK
It usually happens while the system is under load, but sometimes it occurs randomly after startup. I’m not sure whether this is related to drivers, hardware, or corrupted system files.
Has anyone here experienced this error?
What typically causes the EXCEPTION_ON_INVALID_STACK BSOD?
Are there any reliable troubleshooting steps I can take?
Should I be looking into memory/hardware checks, or is this more of a software issue?
Any step-by-step help or fixes would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
My Windows PC has recently been getting stuck on the “Welcome” screen after startup. It doesn’t fully load into the desktop, and I often end up having to restart multiple times.
I’ve seen this issue mentioned online, but solutions seem to vary.
Has anyone successfully fixed this problem?
What usually causes a PC to hang at the Welcome screen?
Are there safe troubleshooting steps I can try without losing data?
Is there a list of reliable fixes I could go through (like 5–6 methods) to solve this?
Any advice, detailed steps, or proven fixes would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Hello everyone,
I keep running into Windows Update error 0x80073712 on my PC. From what I understand, this error usually means that some update files are missing or corrupted. Because of it, I can’t install certain updates successfully.
Has anyone here managed to fix this before?
What causes error 0x80073712 exactly?
Are there any built-in tools (like DISM or SFC) that can repair this issue?
Should I manually reinstall updates, or is there a safer fix?
Any step-by-step guidance would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
I’ve recently started getting a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) on my Windows PC, and the error points to wdfilter.sys. It seems to happen randomly, sometimes while I’m working, other times during startup.
I’ve tried basic troubleshooting like restarting, but the issue keeps coming back. From what I’ve read, it might be related to drivers or corrupted system files.
Has anyone experienced this before?
What usually causes the wdfilter.sys BSOD?
Are there specific drivers or updates I should check?
What steps can I take to fix or prevent this from happening again?
Any detailed help or fixes would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
The EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION error happens when a program tries to use a CPU instruction your processor can’t run. Common causes are corrupted files, incompatible software, outdated drivers, overclocking, or hardware issues. To fix it, reset any overclocked CPU or RAM, update your BIOS, run sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair Windows files, and update or reinstall key drivers like graphics and chipset. Reinstall programs that trigger the error, check they’re compatible with Windows 11, and run CPU/RAM tests to rule out hardware problems. Booting in Safe Mode or a clean boot can help identify conflicting software.
There are also some Android recovery softwaree for PC that can sometimes read internal storage even if the screen is gone. They don’t always work on every model, but could be worth a shot before you give up.
