Galaxy Z Fold 5 Screen Cracked

[BrockM]

The inner screen of my Z Fold 5 cracked this morning upon opening it. I heard the crack, then the line of pixels in the crease died. I know this was a problem of previous generations, but I had the Fold 3 for two years without an issue. Bouncing from service department to service department is getting old. There are no nearby repair stores that are able to fix it since it is new, and I can't really be without my phone for 10-12 business days. Anyone else have this issue, and if you did was there a quick solution that didn't have you paying a Samsung Care+ deductible?
