However, a self-excited vibration induced by the inherent non-linear characteristics of valve spool motion coupled with the fluid dynamics can be generated during the working state of hydraulic systems due to inappropriate system parameters, which causes sustaining instability in the system and leads to unexpected performance deterioration and hardware damage.
To avoid any hardware damage due to overheating, cool down your phone before going to bed and keep your phone at airplane mode (if possible).
If any part of those agreed service commitments weren't met, ie the hardware was damaged, the provider would replace it.
