Buy a USB OTG cable > connect a mouse > restart the phone > you should be able to use the mouse as your finger, that's assuming that the screen it's not cracked, only the digitizer/touchscreen.

Double check the number with the box or 

settings > about phone > status > IMEI information

I've done that, otg works fine, can unlock phone but then when I unplug otg and plug USB to.computer it still won't show any internal storage files.

When I try on.my new phone and plug into.computer you need to select charge only of file transfer, but as no otg pluged in I cant select an option.

What I would do is to transfer everything to an SD card and then you can connect the phone to a computer or just connect the SD card with an adapter.

But how can I do that when the screen is completely dead!?

My bad, I don't think that there's any other way to backup the pictures. If you are going to repair the phone then you could replace the screen and then nothing should be deleted, but it will void the warranty and it might not be waterproof anymore; but if you send it somewhere everything will be deleted.
