Galaxy S9 Plus Moisture Detected Fix

- So, your phone's got a built-in bouncer for its USB-C port—it checks for any sketchy resistance between two pins when you plug in the charger. If there's too much water hanging out in there, the phone throws a warning (or an audio beep) and slams the door shut on charging.

- The moisture check happens the moment you plug in your charger. So, if you’ve just been caught in the rain or your phone took a dip, keep this in mind.

- Salt water or anything with chlorine is basically the arch-nemesis of your connector. If your port gets hit, do NOT try to charge it. Clean and dry that thing like it’s your job before you plug it in again. That little bit of effort could totally save your connector—and your phone.

- Let's tackle this issue together:

- 1. Grab some compressed air and give the connector a gentle puff to clear out any pesky liquid or loose debris. If you don't have that, a straw works wonders too—just blow directly into the connector!

- 2. Time for a little cleaning! Dampen a tiny strip of paper towel with clean water and carefully drop a bit of water into the connector. Then, use those paper towel strips to soak it up again.

- 3. Patience is key! Let the connector dry for about 6 hours before charging. Feel free to use your phone during this time, just keep it unplugged.

- If you're in a pinch and need to charge urgently, wireless charging (S9+) is your friend!

- Keep in mind that the charge cable connector might be harboring some salt or rust. A gentle clean as mentioned above will help prevent any transfer to your phone, which could cause the same issue again.

- If you spot any fabric fibers hanging out inside the connector, you can carefully remove them with a needle by scraping the bottom. Using a magnifying glass can make this task a breeze!

- A wet connector means no charging, so let's keep those electronics dry and happy! If you're still having trouble, don't hesitate to schedule a repair for some expert help.
