Have you tried simply plugging it into a PC via a USB port, using a
suitable lead? The charger one may be power only.

You might find it sees the storage drive. That works with my S4.

The photos might even be on a removable memory card.

Surely the OP would have thought of that, but perhaps I should me a
backup of the photos on my and swmbo's phones as the phones do not have
have slots for memory cards.
