Galaxy Book Pro 360 - cracked screen (no physical accidental damage)

[bensummers]

Anyone else experienced their Galaxy Book Pro 360 15.6" screen just randomly snap, I've got an arc from top corner to corner almost like the screen has snapped during lifting of the lid? 

There is no physical damage to the exterior or impact Point on the screen its working 'normally' there's just a snap in the glass.

I have also experienced this. I bought the Galaxy Book Pro 360 from Currys, and after 8 months of using it in one room and safe on a desk, there is now a crack along the screen. I have gone to Curry's customer support and they say that their repair team do not consider it repairable with manufacturer's guarantee and this is considered physical damage. Although this damage is clearly not done by the customer (no impact, scratches, damage near or around the laptop screen) it sounds like they assume this to be the fault of the customer even though I provided the link below as evidence. I am trying to escalate the issue and also contact Samsung about this.

When looking online, I found this on the Samsung Community in US: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Computers/Galaxy-Book-Pro-360-screen-cracked-without-any-misuse/...

Thanks, I will try to escalate again as still have no resolution from Samsung. I'm actually utterly disappointed in them as a brand and I'm now purposely replacing Samsung products in my house with alternate brands as my £300 microwave gave up also after 18 months (12 month warranty only) so they want £200 to fix.

Save to say its going to take a while to replace everything, but no new Samsung products will be obtained in the future. A pity really as up until now I'd had nothing bad to say about them, obviously I hadn't had to deal with the shoddy customer aftercare teams.

Same problem here, also. Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 13.3" screen. Less than six months old. Diagonal crack appeared across the screen. Normal usage, not dropped or impacted in any way. Used in same room since new and not transported. Just kept and used on a flat surface. Same story. Curry's and Samsung assuming that it is physical damage and not a design flaw with the lid being too flexible. But the Samsung US forum, reddit, here and also at the UK consumer's association, "Which", countless people are reporting similar issues!   https://www.which.co.uk/news/article/a-crack-appeared-in-my-laptop-screen-am-i-entitled-to-a-refund-...

It's a shame. I had so much respect for Samsung up until this happened. Now I'm looking at every other brand as the aftercare at Samsung is absolutely horrendous, I've never known any company to be so bad. Still stuck with a broken laptop and having to 'just live with it' not what you expect for a laptop over £1,500 at the time.
