Is there a way to copy files direct from the internal hard drive
Hi there,
I have an iPhone 5 which won't charge due to sea water damage; i.e. it is not recognising the Lightning / USB Connector for charging or data transfer...
Is there a way to copy the data from the device by removing the internal hard-drive from the device please?
i.e. Similar to connecting a 2.5 or 3.5 HDD to a caddy?
Thanks and regards, Mark.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Hi all,
Many thanks for all the answers, very much appreciated!
I took my iPhone to a local tech having compared the price of replacement Batteries & Lightning Connector / Headphone Jack on eBay (sorry iFixit you understandably won't ship batteries to Australia)!
To answer one or two of the questions. Yes, I mainly want to get contacts and photos & video from a recent trip where the water damage occurred :-(
Upshot is that a replacement battery bought the phone back to life complete with data intact, but the charging port wouldn't charge, even with replacement parts!
Therefore, I'm taking the advice to backup to iCloud ASAP & hopefully then restore to a new phone.
The tech has promised me a fully charged replacement battery, which should be ready later today, so fingers crossed!
Thanks again everyone, some great advice on here, a& I'll have a go at rescuing the handset myself based on some of these teardowns and replies, after I get my data off or course ;-)
Kind regards, Mark.
