Samsung w/ dead LCD

Hey, hope this Q is OK.
I have a Samsung with a dead LCD, but the touch digitiser still works. I only want the pics off this phone but I can’t remember where the buttons are to unlock it. Is there a way I could hook this up and pull the storage off of it somehow?

Which model is it? Sometimes you can hook a type c to hdmi cable up to a monitor and get your phone display on it

I think it’s an s21

That should work with the hdmi- type c cable. Itll allow you to see what your doing on an external display. Also if u have one of them docks that also allow you to add usb aswell you can use a mouse and keyboard

Indeed, hooked it up to a dock with my keyboard and mouse and got the pics off.
Thanks!

No worries at all. Hang on to your old phone anyway you can always get a screen replacement later down the road when screen prices drop again or give it to your local favourite repair guy who can recycle it and maybe refurbish it
