I'm not sure I understand. Is this getting data off a dead phone that
has no connectivity (phone or wireless)?

If there is any connectivity, then syncing with a OneDrive?

What is the difference between a US and UK micro usb?

U/S. Unserviceable. If it is merely physical damage to the connector,
getting some suitable hardware hacker to take it apart and wire in a
new one would be the simplest solution.

One other thought. Is it so dead that you can't copy the files to the
sim? (Not sure if this is possible anyway).

Oops

Another thought - there is an app called 'Files' that allows you to
share via bluetooth, onedrive, whatsapp, etc. Not sure if any of the
native stuff on the phone allows this - or indeed whether any of it is
accessible on the phone. If it is actually dead, I suspect even a usb
wouldn't do much.

Finally (I think) some phones actually use something like a micro usb
card internally for storage. Don't know if the Lumias do or not. And
if it does, I'm not sure how easy it would be to access the content if
you get it out of the phone. Other than that, one of the specialist
data retrieval companies might be able to help, at a price - depends on
what the damage is and how important the data is.

Sorry about the US. I forget sometimes not everyone uses it!

By the time I got involved the phone was dead, it had apparently not been
charging for sometime and the Lumia 800 has a reputation of being
temperamental if allowed to have a completely flat battery. Why my daughter
didn't back the data up I have no idea. But Blue tooth and wireless are both
ruled out as it wont turn on.

Anyway on examination I can see the actual USB connection is damaged, so yes
it could be repaired but quotes are for more than the phone cost and anyway
she doesn't want anything more to do with Nokia.

I was surprised when I couldn't find a removable memory card but its
apparently built in (stupid idea really) I just wondered if the memory store
is removable if one dismantles the phone, but I guess its not something most
people would ever do!

Its Photos that she wants back.

You've probably tried it - but it can be worth leaving it on charge for
a day or so before trying to turn it on. It just might trickle enough
charge in to get started.

There are a couple of net sites that crack open devices to show you what
is inside and how to get at it.

I think I still have my daughter's 800 which died down a toilet. Seems
like this happens a lot with girls, keeping the phone in a back pocket.

I don't know about that particular model but there is usually some
quirky. Hold this button in for two minutes whilst whistling "Rule
Britannia" and crossing your toes that will force a hard system reset.

You need to look up the exact description of which buttons and for how
long on the internet. It won't work with the phone on charge so if the
battery is stone dead you are out of luck. It will blink its LED at you
after about 10s if it is willing to play.

I have done it for friends generic dead Android devices with mixed
results. One went into native Chinese mode! Another (my own personal
phone) refused to do anything and was returned under warrantee to the
maker for a swap. I found out about the magic key chords for hard system
reset from their helpline. I don't know if doing this will trash any
user memory storage in the phone - it might well!

I suspect everything on the dead phone is now lost forever unless you
are prepared to take it to an expensive data recovery service.

Do an online search for "Lumia won't boot" or such. For my android
smartphone, there's a double-secret "press this, face Tokyo, bow three
times, press that for 3.14 seconds...." startup for just this situation.
Don't ask how I know...

If you can get it to wake up and ask for a pint, you can install an app
that allows bluetooth and/or wifi access to the files. I like."my phone
explorer," written and supported by an Austrian guy, so I can have direct
access to memory, including the micro-SD in installed about 10 minutes
after leaving the phone store.

Also found this, don't know how good they are ...

Both my wife and myself have Nokia Lumias, a 520 and 630, and we haven't had
a problem with the micro USB. Considering how mine is in my pocket all the
time and gets bashed about etc perhaps I'm lucky.

Thank you everyone who has given time to my problem.

I was aware of the hard reset buttons but this wipes the memory so would be
counterproductive.

Bob I had seen the Video but the phone is so dead the computer doesn't know
its there.
However the second link you posted looks interesting (I hadn't found it in
my searches) so I will ask daughter if she wants to give it a go.

Don't know if it is related, but I've been playing with Windows 10
mobile on my Lumia 925 and it seems to swallow battery quickly.

Got home last night and it was dead. Seemingly 100% dead. Usually if
battery is flat it will get going again quickly as soon as it is on
charge. However, even after being on charge overnight it is doing nothing.

I blame this thread, Charlie in particular and probably a dose of hubris.

If you read the replies to the video it appears with some people it took a
couple of hours for it to show on their computer but in most cases it did
eventually. But if the mini USB is broken it wouldn't work anyway.

For the thousands that are obviously gripped by this exciting
development, you'll be pleased to know that after leaving it on charge
for another 12+ hours, I got home and it was alive again
