    Hi, need a bit help with broken S5.
    Is there any way to unlock the screen to connect to Smart switch. Screen is black, touch is not working. After connecting to TV via MHL it is show unlocking screen.
    I did try with OTG cable and mouse but can't enter unlocking pin.
    Do You guys think that adapter with male micro USB on one end, and female micro USB, OTG will work with two devices?
    Can't post link to eBay because I'm new user.

    One side connected to mouse via OTG and other via MHL to TV? That way in theory will see on TV what I'm doing with mouse.
    Any advise welcome


    Thanks

    Im pretty sure the port has to drop the USB bus to do MHL, its pushing the bandwidth available as is. Doubt it will work.


    Rather than convoluted answers, why not just get it repaired? S5 screens arent very expensive anymore.
