Samsung, 

My Z Fold 4 turns off whenever I try to fold the phone.

The phone turns off when attempting the close the phone at about a 45-degree angle. 

Both displays work just fine when totally opened. 

Charges just fine when opened.

I can have the phone opened, put it on charge, then fold the phone, and it would work, however, once I remove the phone from the plug in USB-C cable it shuts off immediately whether open or not.

Your Galaxy Z Fold 4 shutting down when partially folded is likely due to a faulty hinge flex cable, a known issue caused by wear and tear from repeated folding. This component connects internal parts and can fail over time, especially in foldables. It's recommended to back up your data, contact Samsung support (as repairs may be covered even if out of warranty), and avoid DIY fixes due to the phone's complexity. A professional repair is necessary to resolve the issue.
