Hi, if you remember key sequence, try to switch on bluetooth and use PcSuite. r you can plug in Video cable and use your TV to switch your bt on.

Good you got your contacts out. If you really liked your N95 (and haven't thrown the defective one in the garbage) there's another way; Just order yourself a N95 8GB LCD screen, should be around 40 euro�s, and replace the faulty one.

I know, never open up your device, open device equals empty warranty. Well the warranty is pretty useless in this case, so losing something useless shouldn�t be that big an issue.

I cracked my LCD on my N95 some year ago, after falling and bouncing so many times before, my device couldn�t take any more and the LCD cracked. For two to three weeks I was comtemplating how to get a new device at a reasonable rate. However, seeing a step by step instruction video on youtube gave me the absolute confidence I could repair it, and I did. Up to this day the screen works like never before.

In essence you have to unscrew four tiny screws, unclick a little clamp for the LCD datacable, reclamp the clamp with the datacable form the new LCD, test if it works and close the device with the 4 screws you began with. Took me 10 min max to do the repair properly.

Just another option, should you regret the loss of your N95
