iPhone XS: Black Screen (OLED Glitch) + Broken Volume Buttons.
I’m in a huge bind. My iPhone XS screen glitched (green/RGB lines) and went black. I have a school project that i spent weeks to make. It is due tomorrow that is NOT backed up to the cloud
The Problem:
Screen: Total black.
• Buttons: Both Volume Up and Volume Down are physically broken/not working, so I can't Force Restart.
• PC Connection: When I plug it into my PC, the phone doesn’t make the "charging" chime, but it does do the chime when charging.
• Status: The phone is definitely "on" because it chimes and vibrates.
What I need help with:
- How can I force a reboot without volume buttons and without the PC recognizing it?
- Is there any way to bypass the "Trust This Computer" prompt blindly so I can mirror the screen to my PC?
- Are there any "emergency" DIY tricks (pressure points, temperature) to get an XS OLED to show an image for just long enough to export a file?
I'm a student and I have to submit this project tomorrow morning. Any "hacky" or advanced fixes are welcome.
