AC Question

My power button and touchscreen do not work on my note 5 and I have some important information I'm trying to retrieve. I know when charging the galaxy phones, they sometimes turn on randomly.
I had an idea that if I can have the phone turn on randomly while charging it could be plugged in a computer where I can pull the info off it.

So does anyone know how I can have the phone turn on without the power button, perhaps by it turning on while charging or any other ideas? Thanks.
 
Hi There!

Try this:


*With your phone turned off, press and hold the Volume down and Home button.
*While holding the Volume Down and Home, use a USB cable to connect your phone to your computer.
*Continue holding the Volume Down and Home button to until your phone will boot to Download mode.
*Once your phone boots to Download mode, press on the Volume Down button to cancel the Download mode.
*Once the Download mode has been cancelled, your Galaxy will reboot.
*Wait for your phone to completely start.

Hope this helps!
