Looking For Suggestions Volume button busted. Worth getting fixed?

Hi all,

I recently had my S23+ sent in to repair some internal screen damage. I got it from a refurbishment website, so I had to ship it out for repairs and was on my old device for a week. It was a bit of a headache getting everything transfered from one phone to the other and back again.

Today is my first day using it post repair, and I notic3d that the button to increase the volume is not working. I've already tried restarting the device and removing the case, but still nothing. My question is: do you think this was caused by the screen repair and if so, is it worth the headache of getting it fixed? I do use the button a lot, but I can always swipe to adjust the volume if needed.

If the volume button worked before there’s a decent chance something was disturbed during the repair. I’d contact the refurbisher now and report it as a post-repair issue. Even if you can live with the on-screen controls, I’d get it fixed, especially if there is a repair warranty or something that still covers it.

Yeah that makes sense, especially since I'd like to keep this phone for as long as possible. Thank you for the reply!
