Kinda reassuring that I'm not alone with this.
Had to open up my Pro1 to replace the bulging battery today (screen was already a bit wobbly and no longer flush when closed). While reassembling I ripped the fingerprint cable apart. I don't even know how I'm supposed to put it back in place while also holding both sides of the lower shell. If I get a replacement, I'll probably destroy that one, too.
Phone is charging and properly closing again at least.
Battery was still at 47% despite having a manufacturing date of mid 2019.
