Using the Scroll with a cracked screen

[ekco]

For those who have a cracked screen and are unable to access their data or mount the internal memory to back up to a pc, etc. If your screen boots up you can access and even use the applications if you have the keyboard and case attached to the Scroll with the mini usb. Using the F keys, in particular F1 which brings up a menu at the bottom of the screen and then use the right and left arrows to navigate, then Enter. The Notification tab can enable you to mount your memory to the pc and the Settings tab lets you into the menu. I emailed Scroll today to ask if there was any way I could access my data with the screen cracked and not responsive and they replied that there was not. That was until I had a brainwave and did it the old fashioned way with the keyboard like we used to do in the olden days, lol. I have used all the applications this evening and even downloaded an ebook and now I will do comprehensive back-ups. Obviously it's going to be a bit long winded but all is not lost, I've even read my ebook using the right arrow to turn the page and it's actually been easier than tapping the screen.

Someone here had a bricked Scroll. Unknown if they've already sold it, but it would be good for a screen.

I had a look at some photos that a member posted of an opened Scroll. Couldn't puzzle out though if the contents were attached to the screen or not and if it would be easy to detach it without the risk of cracking it. Don't want to send good money after bad. My Scroll fell out of the wallet sideways just a week after buying it onto the floor as the retaining clips weren't tight enough. It appeared to be working ok until last week when I decided to remove the screen protector as it was getting scratched and dull. Unknown to me it must have been holding the damage together and later a crack appeared on the bottom left in landscape. So not best pleased with the keypad wallet but it has saved the day with being able to back-up and I bent the retainers well down to hold the tablet firmly. A lesson learned, I notice that there is a wallet, without the keypad, for sale that holds the tablet with some kind of strap across the corners which is definitely safer.
