    Accessories Trying to make sense of the various Samsung USB-C cables

    Help Phone reached 0% watching video but now won't turn back on

    Was watching a video until it died. It has been plugged in for hours since it powered down, so it should be fully charged. I have held the power button down for 30 seconds but nothing happens. When plugging it in to a computer, there's no response from either side. Any suggestions?

    Help Mirror phone screen on PC when phone has no working screen/digitiser?

    We have a Samsung Galaxy S8+. The glass was cracked and, as we attempted to repair it, we damaged the screen/digitiser. Is there a way to mirror the phone's display on a computer, when it's not possible to use the phone's screen? I'm not sure if USB Debugging was on or off when the repair failed.
