Recovering pictures from an Android phone with a broken touch screen. Lots of details inside.

I was initially trying to save the contacts. Thanks to Google my co-worker's contacts and calendar have been saved. I'm still asking this question because it would still be nice to help her and I think it's a good learning experience.

I have (co-worker's)an LG Optimus G (LS970) with a completely non-functional touch screen. Today I have learned about LGNPST, TeenyBin, MyPhoneExplorer, and LG On-screen phone. The big catch is that most information online is geared towards resetting a bricked phone which is something that I really want to avoid. Also, it seems the LGNPST downloads that I have come across may be packaged for particular instances. Oh, and every mention of the BIN or TeenyBin file says to extract it, but never exactly where to extract it.

I have connected the phone to my PC in Download Mode and attempted to connect to it with LGNPST. I'm not sure that I have the BIN loaded right. I'm not even sure it's necessary since I'm not trying to reset. I have selected the LS970 option from the 2 choices for the DLL files. LGNPST does not seem to be set up quite right yet to communicate with the phone.

I had also hoped you guys might also find this scenario somewhat interesting. Thank you for any help.
