A52 no screen.

[Andrew297]

I recently accidentally cracked my screen on a galaxy A52. I went to the repair shop and they asked 120$ to replace the screen. Can I connect the phone using some kind of a dock to a TV and controlling the phone with mouse and keyboard?

If your phone has windows to phone or phone to pc, you can connect to your computer wirelessly, though im not sure if you have it enabled currently or not and/or if you will be able to enable it without a working screen

It was enabled but the phone was powered off since the screen is broken. 120 seems kind of a high price for a 3 year old midrange, is a second hand OEM display a good choice as long as it doesn't have major burn in or other defects? Or is there any other idea? I have unsaved files, wapp messages and MS Authenticator on that device.

If youll be using it long term after the fact, i cant tell you yes or no, im just not sure, both on the viability of it but also the quality of the replacement screen itself as there are no specifics, but for the short term, if you need to make a backup of it, then im sure it will be fine.

 

Or, try this first if thats more up your alley of not paying to get it fixed
