Sony Handycam hdr SR12 - defective LCD can’t download footage

[Mycamera]

Camcorder has a touchscreen that doesn’t work and I’m told by Sony is too old to repaired.  Want to download footage off camcorder hard drive to pc via usb but can’t select USB connect because LCD screen not working.  I have a remote which works for plAyback and record but can’t seem to use it to to select USB connect
