Broken screen
Quote from Kostiantyn on 04/02/2026, 18:07Hi!
I have an old smartphone with a broken screen(everything fine it just dont react to touch at all). I connect a mouse to it.
Is there any way to use it as a second monitor via a USB cable?
It works over Wi-Fi, but when I connect it with a cable, it asks me to confirm the connection — and the screen doesn’t work.
Thank you!
