So I let my battery run down overnight, when I tried to plug it in the next day it would start charging , turn itself on then stop charging.
I have among other chargers, which I have tried as well, an Energizer charger this has a light on it to show its connecting.
What will happen is I plug it in the light goes on, the phone vibrates the light goes off. I plug it in again the light goes on stays on and the phone turns itself on I get the samsung screen etc, then as there is not enough battery the phone turns itself off and 20 seconds later the light goes off again. So its once again disconnected from the charger.
My service provider will not fix it because the moisture indicator shows that it had contact with moisture at some point- although I think that was only a rainshower while it was in my bag.
Before you all say its the charger port I've taken it to a phone repair shop they have changed the port and tried a different battery and its still doing the same thing. They've given up on it and didn't charge me.
Should I give up on it and just buy a new phone?
Any ideas?

Sorry to hear this.

Does sound hardware related if you have tried multiple chargers and batteries.

Welcome to Android Central! You say you've tried multiple chargers--do these chargers include cables as well, or have you just been trying multiple charging blocks but using the same USB cable to attach to them?

I've used different cables and different charging blocks, and as I said the repair guys have tried refitting a replacement port but still nothing. I know it sounds like a port issue but...

So if its a hardware problem does that mean its to use the technical turn 'buggered'?
Because it does turn on it seems so tantalisingly close to being something that can be fixed!

Sounds buggered. Who knows, maybe the moisture affected the downstream charging circuitry, not just the port? Something like that might not be fixable apart from replacing the whole motherboard, or whatever it's called in a phone.
