Seems strange to me that they erase the data to fix the screen? That just sounds like they're replacing the phone or something...

Unfortunately, sometimes there is just simply nothing that we can do. ๐Ÿ˜ž

One thing that will help for the future is to auto-backup all of your data to the cloud somewhere so it doesn't get lost.

I'd had a bit of time to prepare ere the screen became completely nonreactive in the past (with a great deal of fiddling), and so turned off the lock asap. My first experience of losing a usb & subsequent project rebuild was sufficiently instructive.
A handy little tool is scrcpy (or vysor) - if you'd used it before and set the device to trust a computer, you could unlock the screen through that.
How much stuff do you have there that isn't backed up?

Oh, a micro usb adapted mouse doesn't seem to require confirmation, that's perfect.

Iโ€™m not overly familiar with Samsung phones but isnโ€™t there an internal SD card you can remove that stores all of your phones data?
