USB to HDMI not working? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So the puppy has chewed my Mum's phone screen, stopping both the display AND touch sensor on half of it.

I'm trying to back up photos and contacts from internal storage. I've got a USB hub which I can connect a mouse to that seems to work, but the HDMI output from it isn't working. It's not showing as no signal though, it's connected with a completely black screen.

The phone has been turned off and I can't unlock it, so I'm wondering if this is a result of the system still being locked? If this is against the "no lock screen bypass help" rule, just let me know and I'll delete it.

The model of phone is a Huawei P30 Pro.

Any help would be appreciated

The only way I can tell is that my TV doesn't say no signal. AFAIK it is receiving a signal, but it's completely black...

The USB adapter is a lemorele TC70L if it makes any difference

I just checked the tiny text on the MHL cable I have (never been used since I have none of those devices) and it seems you're gucci with your P30

Like others say, blind tapping might be the best option here and if @elver@feddit.uk can share a screenshot of where that clicky is.....bingo?
