Samsung Fold 4 Frame Damaged and Will Not Fully Open

The phone was dropped and landed on the bottom corner where the hinge is located. The affected area's side will not fully open and feels stuck when attempted. I can only half open the fold.

I viewed teardown videos but I am not confident that opening the front LCD will reveal the affected area and that I can fix it.

Does anyone have tips or might have an answer on how to fix this?

It looks like there is a small dent that is preventing the phone from opening completely. Does removing the panel and the front screen help with the opening?

u need to contact customer support and use that warranty Cuz that's a phone replacement at the cost of the phone repair.

yeah from the pics that's a hard fix and it's gonna cost you if you ask a phone repair shop or Samsung (I wouldn't go to Samsung for it since they're expensive and, ironically, incompetent)

don't bother to remove the screen, to get to the hinge you have to tear the whole thing down and from the pic it's the frame that's broken and bent around the corner so I don't think it'll do you much good to disassemble it

I'd either sell it or try to fix it with a pair of pliers

if you take pliers to it go slow, be precise and careful where you squeeze

good luck
