Use methylated spirit and don't use paper please if you've not done that only the spirit... It might affevt your ip68 but it yield better result... open and close after the spirit is dropped on the hinge it will open up 180° I actually change my hinge in my latest video and the new hinge can as well go bad like this so I used spirit on that I didn't use paper at all... I'm enjoying my fold now...

2nd time mine has broken from a single grain of sand going inside the hinge, both times I have been overseas and so unable to get replaced by samsung on warranty, since they make that virtually impossible. I'll give this a go since for some reason this time the whole phone has shut down as well as the hinge being jammed. You have a great accent, it is very calming to hear. I will point out, The plastic Australian Bank Notes work really well for this.

Thats just a temporary fix that will worsen the problem over time. Thx to the oil dust and dirt particles will accumulate within the inner hinge parts. The issues is the hinge design itself. It wears out over time because instead of gears the new hinge is only guided by metal stripes. Once the factory applied oil(its enclosured within the hinge) drys up there is a lot of friction to overcome during folding procedure. Hence it will get stuck over time. Pretty sure Samsung will return to a geared hinge design for the Fold 5/Flip 5, as there are lots RMAs. Also a drop on the hinge is deadly now, as those metal bands bend very easily.(unlike gears that don't bend)

Dude that "plastic" is not just "plastic"! That's one of the gaskets that allow the phone to be water resistant. It's absolutely supposed to be there and when you removed that gasket, it may have gotten better but only because you opened up a little extra space when you removed the gasket so whatever debris was in there (or if the hinge was damaged internally) was allowed to float more freely in the hinge without affecting its function. Ultimately what I am trying to say is you damaged the phone further to temporarily resolve a minor issue. Sadly this will void your warranty if you insert anything in the hinge or remove anything from inside the phone, so I highly wouldn't recommend doing this. This could actually make the issue far far worse. usually opening and closing the phone over and over will work the debris out with the internal brushes inside the hinge pushing any debris out.

If you're here, your phone is faulty. Is the phone not over a year ago??? The warranty should be out by now, and lastly, samsung has fixed mine twice, and it still went bad, so fingers crossed the same thing is likely to happen after fixing and what next? Buy s24 ultra?

@@SRKHD I used insurance in my situation, not the warranty. When I bought the phone I knew I would be paying on a 2000 dollar phone and I really didn't want to get stuck paying for a phone that didn't work for some reason. I went into it reading about the other potential issues that people had with the older models and although the fold 4 was an upgraded design it's still fairly new tech. I came across this video because it showed up in my recommended. Either way I sympathize with anyone going through this issue that may not have gotten insurance or couldn't afford the insurance or whatever the case may be. regardless of the warranty concerns though I would highly recommend not inserting anything into the hinge because its much more likely it will become worse than better. My phone now is the s24 ultra but I still am considering getting another fold in the future when the hinge becomes a bit better.
