I recovered my Redmi Note 10 Pro Max with a completely dead display without replacing the screen. A few days ago, my Redmi Note 10 Pro Max's display went completely black. The phone still vibrated, fingerprint unlock worked, notification sounds played, and touch was functional—but I couldn't see anything. Most people would probably replace the display immediately, but I wanted to see if I could recover the phone first. # What I did * Installed Android Platform Tools. * Blindly switched the USB mode to **File Transfer (MTP)**. * Backed up my important files. * Since screenshots still worked, I used a strange method: * Blindly navigate. * Take a screenshot. * Copy it to my PC. * Use the screenshot to figure out where I was. * Repeat. Those screenshots basically became my eyes. Using that method, I eventually: * Enabled Developer Options. * Enabled USB Debugging. * Accidentally opened the Android 12 Easter Egg 😂. * Got ADB from: ​ unauthorized to: device Finally, I used **scrcpy** to mirror and control my phone from my laptop—even though the phone's display is still completely black. # What I learned * Don't restart a phone if fingerprint unlock still works. * A dead display doesn't always mean a dead phone. * Enable USB Debugging before you ever need it. * Always keep backups. This turned into one of the most interesting troubleshooting experiences I've had. It reminded me that persistence and systematic debugging can solve problems that initially seem impossible. I'd love to hear if anyone else has recovered a phone in a similarly unconventional way. https://redd.it/1vei7t7 @reddit_android
