Backup with screen not working

100clicks is correct. You should consider enabling automatic nightly backups if you can’t remember to back up your phone regularly. Actually, if you have previously enabled it then it would still back up overnight, even with a non-working screen. It just needs to be connected to power and Wi-Fi and locked in standby mode.

Hello, to make a backup on the iPhone or connecting it to a Mac/PC you need to unlock the iPhone and to do that you need a working screen

You can connect it to your computer to back up, however, for security reasons it requires a passcode to be entered on the keyboard. But if the motherboard is shot there is no content left to back up.

There are many ways of preserving photos and videos. Did you do any of these?

• iCloud photo sync
• Manual iCloud backup
• Automatic nightly iCloud backup
• iTunes backup
• Transfer your photos and videos to your computer via USB cable
• emailed, texted or messaged the items to friends or family
• Sync to Google Photos
• Sync to some other photo archiving service such as Shutterfly
• Sync to Dropbox
• Sync to box.com
• Sync to Microsoft OneDrive
• Sync to Amazon Photos
• back up to Livedrive
• Backup to any other backup or archiving service
• Transfer them to a Flash drive through the lightning port on your iPhone, using a product such as SanDisk 64 GB iXpand Flash Drive Go - Apple

A final option is if you synced your photos to iCloud, you have a Mac, and you use Time Machine to back up your Mac automatically, you can open Time Machine and restore the photo library to an earlier date. To do this on your Mac open Finder, then click on Pictures in the sidebar and launch Time Machine. Go to a time before the photos were deleted and restore

Photos Library.photoslibrary. (If you had ever changed the name of the photo library restore that file instead).

If the answer is no to all of the above your photos are gone forever.

If you were syncing the photos with your iCloud you can download them to your Mac/PC for the browser, you can login your iCloud and check if you got photos or other files stored there
