What to do with an Android phone that has a dead LCD?

Recently, the LCD on my Motorola Triumph Android phone died. After spending an afternoon contemplating what to do to get my data off it, I realized that it has a HDMI output. I plugged it into my Panasonic 50" plasma HDTV and turned both devices on. And I was presented with the Android locking screen. Surprisingly, even though the LCD had died, the touch input still works; I can still control the Android phone with the dead LCD.

This article gives you some ideas on how to use an Android phone with a dead LCD screen. It assumes that your Android phone has HDMI output and that the touch interface still works. If your phone has neither, you can discuss other possible ideas in our forum.
