accessing photos after the black screen of death

[Android Central Question]

I have a LG Stylo 4, never have had a problem with it until the other day. I went to unlock it using the figure print pad and it started glitching. The screen had white lines running through it, then it would shut off. I tried turning it off and then back on. That has caused more problems then if i would have just left it on. I don't care about the phone itself being a loss cause. What I do care about is the last 3 months of baby pictures that was stored JUST on my phone. I ran out of cloud storage and hadn't bough a micro SD card yet. I could just upload them to my computer, but my phone has to be unlocked to do that. I cant see the screen and after restarting it I have to use my pin. I tried typing it in in the general area on my blank screen but somehow hit the emergency call button and called 911. Again I just want the last few months of pictures off of there. I don't care about anything else. HELP PLEASE.

Sorry to hear that, do you think you had Google drive or photo back up on during it working?

Welcome to Android Central! Unfortunately, there's not much you can do besides getting the phone repaired -- and when you do that, the repair shop will often do a factory reset, meaning you'd lose the photos anyway. There are data recovery specialists that can try to recover your photos, but those services usually cost a lot (like in the hundreds of dollars, at least).

Just to be clear -- when you try to turn the phone on, does it make any sound or vibration at all? If someone calls you, does it ring?

they mentioned taping on the screen called 911 by accident, so I'm assuming could ring or sounds .
