Hi!
The screen on my new Samsung Galaxy a52s just died. It needs to go for a replacement or repair under warranty.
But I am reluctant to send it with all my data still on the device.
Is there any way to factory reset / wipe it in this condition? I have tried the following with no success:
- Google Find My Device service: cannot find the phone.
- USB to PC: I can see the phone being listed as a USB device but I cannot see it in windows explorer or Samsungs PC client.
- All kinds of physical button press combinations: I think I manage to reboot it since it lists as an USB device. But not sure if I manage to do something else

Note: I can call the device from another phone so I know it is on.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
