After cleaning my S6 with hand sanitizer today, 5-6 hrs later I charged it. It charged for about 10 seconds before burning the plastic area inside the metal head of my charging cable off. I tested it again thinking it must have been some error with a new cable and it promptly destroyed that one as well.
When I plug a cable into my S6 to charge it, it will charge for 10 seconds, meanwhile I believe some leftover alcohol is reacting with the electricity causing a chemical burn destroying my cable in 10 seconds. Naturally after it has burnt my cable head my phone stops charging.
I didn't intentionally clean my USB charging port with hand sanitizer but I wiped it down and I believe some likely got into the port. I have tested a 3rd cable for about 2 seconds and it still charges and it still burns, luckily this time I pulled my test cable out before any serious damage was done.
What do I do in this situation? Please help, I use my phone everyday!!
