Known issue with flex cables for the Wi-Fi found behind the big inner screen. Samsung will not accept responsibility for this issue as although the flex cable can be picked up for around £15 the inner foldable screen has to be removed to access it. Because of the strong glue used the screen more often than not gets damaged when being removed. You can risk getting a local phone repair store to perform the fix which will void the warranty, however Samsung pretty much always claim that warranty has already been voided as the issue is caused by use of the handset -.-… general use it was designed for but apparently that voids the warranty. So as the warranty is already voided I will go to a local repair store who quote between £70 - £100 to attempt the repair. I wouldn’t advise trying this yourself after watching how difficult this phone is to get into in tear down videos. But if you are like me who has no damage to the screen at all, would you risk asking the local store and a likely outcome of more damage being caused? Or maybe I’m one of the fortunate ones? I would just use mobile data, but my area is pretty bad so Wi-Fi is a must for me.
But how Samsung can have the nerve to ignore this issue which is because of their design flaw is just absolutely ridiculous. And this will be the LAST Samsung phone I will EVER buy. In fact, last Samsung product, I have always had Samsung TV’s… needless to say my next one will be LG. Believe me Samsung that in the long run has cost you WAY more than the £604 I was quoted to repair in the future
