       I learned yesterday that when the LCD display of an #android phone is dead, but touch input still works, if you can manage to unlock it and activate the TalkBack feature, you can still use the phone. In this case to activate developer mode, turn on USB debugging, & then use #scrcpy to mirror the display to my laptop.It took a couple of hours of fumbling around but now I have full access to the phone on my laptop, amazing.Lesson: Accessibility helps everyone.2nd lesson: back up your phone
