Depending on exactly how the screen is broken, the touch might work. It is a matter of finding the connect button. Looking at my Aura H2O, the connect button is just left of centre, and about two thirds of the way down*. Plug the device in, give it time to detect the computer, and starting from the middle of the screen, tap down towards the bottom. That should hit it.



* I'd get a ruler and measure it, but, I'm far to comfortable on the couch with my laptop at the moment
