How to use a phone with a broken screen

To use a phone with a broken screen until the repair, first stick a protector or clear tape over it to protect your hands. If touch partly works, voice assistants and accessibility features help. Connect it to a computer and back up; many Android phones also support a mouse through an OTG adapter.

An OTG mouse on Android and a voice assistant on both help; the lasting fix is a screen replacement.

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
