Hello and thanks for reading as I'm getting desperate over here.
This is how it goes: I've had my S6 for almost 2 years now and I'm a power user. Never had any problems with the phone at all. Except for the last few months.
See, the phone started turning off at %40, %50 and even %60 battery. When I plugged it back in, it'd turn on with %0 on the indicator. I ignored it and it stopped happening for a while. A month ago, the problem returned, same thing happened everytime. But then, my phone started to be unresponsive to chargers and I had to place the cable on a certain position so it charged.
I decided to go back to my filthy iPhone 5S and left the S6 connected to my computer for like a week. Now the phone won't turn on and it won't charge. The wall charger doesn't heat up as it used to do indicating the phone is not receiving any charge.
Things I tried:
- Went to a Samsung store and got lent a wireless charger but phone didn't come back to life
- Change cable
- Change wall charger
- Clean the port with a toothpick and an old toothbrush
- Resetting the phone holding the power, home and volume down buttons
- Left it charging for days
- Tried charging on a PC
- Tried charging on a power bank
To sum up, my phone died and I've tried EVERYTHING I've found online. I don't expect you guys to have a magical solution but some help would be appreciated. I will take my phone to repair (not to Samsung) tomorrow, do you have any idea how much would it cost, depending on the piece that is defective?
Thanks
