I think it still works as the picture shows the phone screen has power to it and the green LED is showing...
I want to know if there is a way to access the phone via usb so I can get some numbers and text messages of there as I run my business from it and if I can access the messages and numbers I will gain around £400 in work that had to be done!
Yes I know I should have backed up more often and know there are apps that would have saved texts but hindsight is a wonderful thing
So is there a way to get into the phone?
I have been looking and found new outer cases and new screens but it would cost a lot so that option is out and I have been looking for broken X10's to use for parts but again no luck. So it will have to be sorted via insurance but I know that means I will lose the data I need.
Can anyone help me?

Was it not set to sync with your google account?
That will back up all your contacts, then its a painful process of calling them explaining the situation to continue business.

Nope as I hated the Google sync so used to manually sync using SE once a month but I need the unsaved texts and numbers in the call log.

try with My Phone Explorer 1.8

Thanks for that, will try it later as I just realised my battery is at my mates so will get it tomorrow.
But I did notice this:
MyPhoneExplorer is basically compatible with all Phones from SonyEricsson except XPERIA, P800i, P900i and P910i.

1.8 supports X10!!
MyPhoneExplorer 1.8 released 2010-10-01
Many people waited for this update and now its finished. MyPhoneExplorer is now able to manage Android-Phones - and not only from SonyEricsson. This means there are many new supported models f.e. SonyEricsson X10, HTC Desire. Motorola Milestone, and much more.

From the readme
If you want to connect via USB-cable...
- Ensure that the Debug-Interface-Drivers for your phone are installed (ADB-Drivers)
- Ensure that 'USB-Debugging' is enabled on phone

you may struggle to get it into debugging mode if you cannot see the screen properly

Praying to god debugging mode is still on from root!
So I can litraly start the phone plug the usb in and this will allow me to access the phone without any screen/button presses?

You still need to put the phone into debug mode on the handset afaik ....
I've only used this via the APK and WIFI connection someone else here can maby guide you through to getting it into debug on the handset but if you cannot see anything then you may not have a chance at all
