Mirror phone screen on PC when phone has no working screen/digitiser?

[King Mustard]

We have a Samsung Galaxy S8+.

The glass was cracked and, as we attempted to repair it, we damaged the screen/digitiser.

Is there a way to mirror the phone's display on a computer, when it's not possible to use the phone's screen?

I'm not sure if USB Debugging was on or off when the repair failed.

You can use their USB-C to HDMI adapter: www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-connect-my-phone-to-my-tv-using-hdmi/

£30!

I presume any USB-C to HDMI adapter would work?

I guess so? This article suggests the answer is yes: https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/2017/03/how-to-connect-your-galaxy-s8-to-your-tv/

Excellent, thank you.

All I need is a temporary "fix" in order to get what I can off the phone and backup bits and pieces before selling it.

In the end, I bought a cheap USB-C-to-HDMI dongle and hub (for mouse and keyboard input).


Sorted Thanks B. Diddy.

^ I believe that @B. Diddy is busy elsewhere for a few days but I'm sure he'd be glad that you fixed.
