How can I power down the phone with a cracked screen?

[htourne]

Hi, I have a Galaxy A52s 5G and the screen is totally dead, no touch works and it is off.
How can I turn the phone off? I tried pressing the power button and holding down the volume down key simultaneously, but apparently the phone restarts, not turns off.

Thanks, Regards

Use type c to HDMI cable to connect it to a TV to see what's going on.

Not sure how that does work anything

This does do something. Connecting usbc to hdmi will display the phone screen to the tv. Similar to Smart View but using wires.

Sure if you think it

You can go to any youtube video using a usb c to hdmi cable and you can see it works

Do the usbc to hdmi method first. Then if it doesn't work, charge the phone

I tried to connect the cell phone to a TV, but no image was displayed, I guess it is because the cell phone does not support MHL.
Any other suggestions?

So you did charge it right? If you did and it's not powering on, that means you need a new phone because that one is completely dead

ok that's a good idea, I'll try the usbc to hdmi method and then I could turn it off with the buttons without needing the touch screen.
