    How can I do this from my PC since my screen went black and out of warranty. Won't spend $178 to fix.

    Thanks

      Hi Buddy,
      Thanks for coming.
      If your phone still can be turned on, try installing Samsung Kies on your PC and then connect your phone to the PC using USB cable. You can backup your contacts by using Kies.
      Other solution, if you have activated a Google account in your phone, by default all of your contacts will be synced with that Google account. So, try to login to Gmail.com in your PC by using your Google account associated with your phone and then you can retrieve your contacts from there.
