Need help retrieving photos from black screen Samsung.

[Devbot]

Here's a tricky one for y'all.

I have two Samsung Galaxy S4's that have black screened but still work fine otherwise. I obviously want to retrieve my pictures from them and so I tried connecting via usb cord to the computer. One has all my photos woohoo. The other one is not showing my photos in the DCIM>Camera folder. I know that's where they're supposed to be. Why can't I see them? I read something about some .nomedia files or something. I searched for those and have about 10 of them. What is this? If I delete them will I be able to retrieve my photos?

Thanks for the help, phone wizards!!!

You could have told the Camera to save pictures in a different folder. With it hooked to a PC search for .jpg files or whatever your photo file have for a suffix. Also search the card because you could have sent them there.
