my phone has risen back from the dead
and I don't mean this figuratively, it has literally started living after being dead for multiple days
like, a week ago, I've opened it up (it's a galaxy fold 4) as I did thousands of times before, but instead of seeing my lockscreen, I heard weird spark-like cracking and smelled burnt electronics. as expected, the phone didn't show any sign of life after that

after observing all this I was pretty sure that I'm not getting any data from it back ever.
I went around to some local repair shops, but none of them had spare parts for a global model (I'm in Japan rn), so they all declined repair
today, I went to a person that had a hot air gun to try and take it apart to just see what the heck happened inside. after about half an hour of trying to pry it open with 0 success (fucking hell the adhesive there is strong) we decided to give up on that
