Dropped phone, cracked all over, vibrates ever 5 seconds, black screen

I dropped my phone down the stairs. The stairs were carpet, the landing was tile. My phone is smashed and before it was mint, o well. It also gets very warm with nothing going on. Is anyone familiar with this vibrating phenom and is there any way to save my images?

Thank you.

Is this a good question?

@killabee start by replacing the display. A broken display will get the vibrating effect. As for the heating up, could be a battery issue but unless you take it apart and take a look it will only be a guess. Samsung Galaxy Note5 Display Assembly Replacement

Is there a way to get into the phone, while it's in its current busted condition using a windows program and USB wire to retrieve my Snotes, images, etc? Thanks for the advice above. The thing is that to replace my phone it will only colt $150 and a new screen is $160. Life, problems.

Just plug in to PC and sync as you usually would.

Right, that was the very first thing I did after I saw the damage. Windows "sees" there is an external connection (I hear the noise/notification) and then it loses the connection. Again thanks for the help. I know it's likely futile and not a big deal to you but for me it is.
