Samsung Fold3 - Crashed, Black Screen, Slow, Looping

So received a phone call this morning, answered it and unfolded, phone became unresponsive.

After a Vol Down + Power back to life, but then three more times the same issue.

Device is working now but noticeably sluggish.

A quick Google to get the device running seems to suggest a common issue, anyone else experience the same ?

 

PS. Resorted to my laptop to send this message.

Appears to be a known issue (quick Google) whereby the fold connectors work loose or break, when folding and unfolding, to be confirmed as now booked in with Samsung.

Very annoying and worrying as i paid nearly £1,900 for this on the 5th Dec 2021.

Everytine I made or received a call the phone would crash. No amount of troubleshooting would resolve it so of it went for repair. No idea when I'll get it back

Exactly the same issue, but i found IF i left the mobile folded and sat on the table, it would be fine, as soon as i touched it meltdown.

I read somewhere it maybe the connectors between the front and rear display coming loose, but assumed that would be an easy fix.
