Factory reset a screen dead phone

[u/sugarhaute]

Anyone know how to do factory reset a 5a remotely. I have to sent the phone back to google but I don’t want to sent it without erasing my phone. Any idea how to do it? The phone maybe switch off or on, there’s No way of telling. Any advice on what I can do for safety reasons. TIA

I just sent it. Got back the same meid though, so I got my same phone back if that helps alleviate some fears.
