Now when using apps that require touch from the middle of the folded screen, it doesn't always register the touch. Is there any guides on how to fix this issue? I haven't even had this phone 2 years and it's a $2000 device. I've read a ton of complaints about this issue, but no real solutions to fix it other than take it to Samsung and have them repair, which they argue with some customers and won't repair it. Please help!

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?
