[Q] Everything but touch works. What to use my phone for?

Hi!
My Galaxy S2 got beer damaged. Everything but touch-input works. Button works, screen looks brilliant, battery, charging, everything.
Any suggestions for what i could use my phone for?
Is it possible to use it as an extra laptop-monitor via usb/wifi/bluetooth/(HDMI-in??)?
Is it possible, with some PC-software, to control the phone through USB?
Is it possible, without the touch working, to install a firmware-version that allows me to use both keyboard+mouse through USB-host-mode, and is the keyboard/mouse active already from the first android-welcome screen, or should it be activated by touch?
It is SO annoying to have a brilliant tiny computer, with a brilliant display, but no way of controlling it.

But how can i be sure theres nothing wrong with the digitalizer-receiver-part of the mainboard?
And i might get a new S2 for free from assurance, so this is more like a general question. Any possible alternative usage of a brilliant Android-handset without touch-input working.
Btw: The "Back"- and "Menu"-touchbuttons work. Are they not part of the digitalizer?
You can buy one of those USB OnTheGo cables from eBay, plug in a mouse and control it as if it's a PC.

Mouse should work with USB-OTG-Adapter.
After you've got that running you could install android vnc server to control it wirelessly via PC.
Also you could use a powered hub, put some massive USB harddrive on it and you got ourself a low-power linux-server
Connect to wifi, connect to TV, pair with a Bluetooth mouse and use as a laptop, movie player etc over TV.

How to test an I9300 motherboard without a screen?

Hello guys,
Is there any way to test an i9300 board without a LCD screen?
I have one here but I don't have any working LCD (the one I have is totally wasted).
I wish to know if it is still working so I can buy the screen+digitalizer kit to fix it.
Any ideas?
EDIT
Haha, I just realized to put it in a USB port of my computer. It lit up the front lights (from the menu/back) and my PC found it.

How to make usage of a s3 with broken display?

Hey guys,
i just found my old s3 i9300. the problem is that the display is broken, if turned on, it does not even light up the backlight of the lcd. the phone itself turns on, i can use the phone as a usb mass storage and the keys light up when i press the power button.
i searched on the internets for a lcd display but it seems to be expensive and hard to fix. but before i throw it away i thought maybe i can use it to give my TV a nice interface, if i am able to mirror the screen via mhl or something. would that work?
best regards
you can buy an mhl cable for connect your S3 to TV or monitor with HDMI interface...it should work

Well, you can buy a micro USB mhl to - HDMI or VGA cable/adapter, with this you can connect your screen to your TV through the wire. Just Google about the cable to get more info, it wouldn't cost much

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.

In the end, I bought a cheap USB-C-to-HDMI dongle and hub (for mouse and keyboard input).
Sorted Thanks all.
