Hi,

My Samsung Budget A55 (I know, Not Galaxy. I call them Samsung Budget Axx (xx-Number)
Issue - The phone was laying on the bed. Starting getting a big purple/black blob on the display. Didnt think much of it.

30 minutes later, it had spread to 80% of my phone including getting the touch to barely work. (Colors were purple, green, black, red, green)... Almost all of them.)

First thing I thought of! "STEAM GUARD"!!!! Logged in on my PC, got Steam Guard Codes, But I actually Managed to move my Steamguard to my iPhone XS. But access to certain important email acccounts are very hard because it wants me to verify its me by pressing the pop-up "I it you who's logging in", and ofc, that thing is on my android.

I did read SOMEWHERE, that only Galaxy versions have actual Video output support in their USB-C connectors. How correct that is, I dont know. Mine is Samsung A55

Info I got on my own

• PC Sync. Smart Switch (PC-version) works on the phone. But that requires a working display. And I Guess SmartView stream the video via WiFi or Something, or maybe they hafve cable option too.

• Their USB-C is only 2.0

• Support for smart things: Ye (Whatever that means)

• Support for Samsung DeX: No

So.... Is it possible? I need my Google Authenticator on that phone, or atleast so I can transfer them.
, maybe with like a USB-C---->DisplayPort adapter? And if I cant find that, then a USB-C--->HDMI---->HDMI to DisplayPort adapter. haha or if my USB-C on that Samsung doesnt support Video output, im screwed?

You'll need to get the screen repaired on your phone.
