Phone board screen connector do HDMI adaptor

[XukeLho]

My phone (OPO) suffered an accident and cracked the screen and has no touch. I'm not sure how much it will cost me  to repair it but I'm more inclined to buying a new phone.

However, it still looks like it works (need to run more tests. will connect mouse and keyboard to make sure it really works) and it pains me to leave my old phone as a paperweight.

So I was thinking, can I open it up, disconect the screen, find some sort of adaptor and connect the phone to an HDMI adapter and the adapter to my tv? Basically, connecting the phone to my TV to make it a smart tv.

Is this doable? Are there adaptors for this kind of thing?

 

EDIT: I was distracted and posted this in the wrong section. Ill try to ask a moderator to move this. My apologies.

You don't have to open the phone to connect an HDMI cable to it. You'd be better off with using an OTG adapter like this:

 

I've got the same one. I can connect it to my TV and have a keyboard/mouse plugged in. This adapter is also a passthrough for power, so you can charge it while having it plugged in the TV. (you need to charge it in order to use the HDMI function).

I've read that this only works if the phone has HDMI output in its USB connection. Are you sure this works with any phone?

Like i said, I've searched cables like this http://www.ebay.com/bhp/usb-to-hdmi-converter but they said they only work with certain phones. Can you tell me wich phone are you connecting to the cable?

This is one of the places where I read my phone does not have HDMI out.

Have you tried on a non-Samsung device?

Nope

Samsung is an excelent phone brand at the moment. I wish I could afford one. It seems alot of theyr models have HDMI out.

But I guess its back to the original question. Is it possible to connect the phone directly to an HDMI adaptor?
