If the touch part still works, you can use the video cable to hook it up to a TV - it takes a bit of trial and error, but doable.

if you can't figure out the video out part, maybe you can install and start a vnc server from xterm, and then control it from your PC.
If you have a phone without a working display and need to backup it, this would be one of the models where you have the most options. You can even use the Nokia software (over air) for a lot, can't you? Or is it no-bluetooth...
