Hey guys,
My names Matt, I am a motorcyclist. Unfortunately for me, whilst motorcycling (in my gore-tex trousers I hasten to add) I had my S4 in my pocket. The tiniest (and I mean, real tiny) amount of water somehow got into my pocket, and it has killed my charging port.
The phone now recognises when plugged into a laptop via USB, vibrates, screen goes blank, then vibrates again. Rinse, wash, repeat. Obviously it wont charge. Everything else is fine, but the charger seems pretty damn dead. I've taken the battery out and the rear plastic off to try and get it to dry in a heavily air conditioned room, but I fear the worst.
This was literally a tiny amount of water, nothing massive. I've dropped a phone in the bath and had better luck than this before. Has anyone else had any similar problems?!
Cheers,
Matt
