If the infrared part is also broken or blocked, then you are really in trouble. But maybe it is not broken. I just tried to connect by Touch blindly to the PC. It is more difficult than I thought. My problem was, that I did not press long enough on the same spot (apart from not remembering the right place). But now I can do it. I start with one finger at the bottom of the screen, at the place where the imagined vertical line meets the left end of the home bottom. In 5 mm steps or so going upwards, I touch the screen and remain at that position for 2 seconds. After 5 to 7 steps the device connects. Maybe you would like to try it again.
