battery charge issue

[Connor Rabey]

Hello, I own a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and I got caught up in a storm the other night. I tried to keep my phone as dry as possible in my pocket but when I got home and put it on charge, nothing would happen. I guess it must have got some slight water damage.

I tried charging with the wall charger and a portable power bank but it wouldn’t do anything. I then plugged it into my laptop vis USB and it charged straight away. I then went back to the wall charger but still nothing.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could fix this please or what the exact problem could be. Could it just be the charging port that is still wet or another issue?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Connor

Hey Connor,
It's weird, that it charges with the laptop, but not with the wall charger. The only thing I can suggest is a common method: get an airtight bag, fill it with rice, put the phone to the bag and leave it for a day. This should dry out all the water possible.
