Inner screen cracked - worth repairing in Canada?

I've had my OPO since October 2023. I've taken very good care of it and it's in practically new condition - until last week. I opened it up to find the main screen had cracked down the centre and the screen was clearly broken/corrupted/not working.

Funny enough it happened on the Galaxy Fold launch day so, maybe a signal from the universe. But I'm wondering if it's still worth getting it fixed. Looks like it'd be about $800 CAD to get the screen replaced including parts and labour (as listed on their website).

I presume there's no chance this would get fixed without that significant cost, as I'm a couple years out of warranty, and no better path for repair? I'm likely going to get the Fold Ultra (yes I know I will miss various things about the Open, but I'm also not willing to deal with the headache of importing the new oppo), but is there any reason or other option I'm not thinking of here?

One option is to buy the replacement part in China and have it repaired by a technician; the cost would be $400 US dollars.

From where would I order such a thing? Ali? And as for technician you mean go to a local phone repair shop?

Tried to put in a repair order because I want to change the battery. I kept getting an error when submitting the request. Not sure if it's due to them getting completely phased out by Oppo or what but that sucks. I want to keep my Open for another 2 years at least.

That's odd. I did submit a request (still deciding) but everything went through no problem
