Galaxy s6 won't charge?

[eddyyss]

Today I noticed that galaxy s6 won't charge anymore. Tried different cables and chargers.

If I move charger cable a bit it, 'charging logo goes on' and nothing else. Also somehow I managed to turn on the device but it showed 0% and after couple sec it went off.

What could be the problem? Charging port or battery ?

Regards

Probably the charging port, you should check it for lint or filth being stuck in it, may just be dirty.

If you have access to a wireless charger you could use that, if that charges it you will know it's the port and not the battery.

Thanks guys for your replies. I took the device to the warranty service in one of the European countries, they checked and refused to fix. They said that there is a corrosion inside the charging port. As it is my brothers' phone I cannot confirm if the phone was wet or something. He just said that he tend to use his phone when it was raining outside. The best part was when I went to the service she plugged in with her charger and phone started to charge, but I still agreed to check the phone. Now I got refused warranty and not sure what to do next.

You could take it to a third party repair shop and get it checked out. I did this in New York. And, everything worked out fine. The guy replaced the charging port for me.

Also, you can try to do a DIY repair. There are lots of videos on YouTube. Of, course, you'd have to order the necessary tools and parts.

Here is a video I found after a quick Google Search and the source from which I pulled the video has more information you can try. Best of luck.
