Fold 4 inner screen

[Easty]

So I opened my fold 4 this morning , screen didn't come on and phone turned off , happens everytime now , stuck with small cover screen .

Had the same with mine. Bricked a few hours later. Something inside broke, and ended up with a new inner screen, batteries, and hinge to fix it. Looks like a design flaw Samsung aren't acknowledging:

Needs to be booked in whilst under warranty. If you are in the UK, go via EE - much better process than Samsung's own.

Just be prepared for a fight as Samsung will try all they can to avoid the claim. Make sure you know your rights, and prepare for an arm wrestle. Good luck

It was direct from Samsung, I think it's out warranty unfortunately, will check tomorrow

You will have a 24 month Manufacturer's Warranty @Easty 

Let a Samsung Service Centre have hands on with your phone and they'll assess it for you.

Ive booked in at EE reading for Saturday ( closest samsung approved place ) , i take it they send it off to Samsung , i'll keep post updated on how repair goes , i havent damaged phone at all so we'll see if i get the same argument from samsung that others have had !

Some EE shops have the repair on site. Either they'll do it there or send it to a store that does instead of sending it back to Samsung. I had a lot more luck with EE compared to Samsung. The experience was so good I'm moving network to them

Cheers , that's good to know , fingers crossed I have the same experience 😀

So I left it there to do in shop repair , it says ready for collection , tracker says repair outcome online but I've no idea if it's fixed or not ?
Surely if warranty was voided they've rung me to say ? Can't get through to them by phone , what was your outcome ?

So they replaced the inner screen and battery under warranty in store at EE , happy days , thanks soo much for the great advice !!
