Duration: 45 minutes

Steps: 3 Steps

Feeling a bit moley? Don’t sweat it! We’ve got ya, buddy. Just give us a buzz at schedule a repair and we’ll sort it out in a snap.

Step 1

– Your phone is pretty smart! It checks for any pesky resistance on two pins of the USB-C charge connector. If it finds water or too much moisture hanging around, it’ll give you a little warning beep and stop charging—just like a gentle reminder to take care of it.

– This nifty moisture check happens as soon as you plug in the charger, so keep an eye out!

– And hey, let’s talk about saltwater or chlorine-infused water—definitely not a friend to your connector! If you ever find yourself in that watery situation, please avoid charging through the connector. Instead, clean and dry it first. Trust us, this little step can save your connector and your phone!

Step 2

– Let’s tackle that issue together:

– 1. Grab some compressed air and give it a gentle puff into the connector to clear out any pesky liquid or loose debris. If you’re feeling crafty, you can use a straw to blow right into the connector for a more direct approach.

– 2. Time to freshen up the connector! Dampen a tiny strip of paper towel with clean water and carefully dispense a drop into the connector. After a moment, use the paper towel strip to gently soak it back up.

– 3. Patience is key: let the connector chill for about 6 hours to dry out before plugging it back in. It’s okay to use your phone during this time, just avoid charging it.

– In a pinch and need to charge? Go for wireless charging if you’ve got an S9+!

– Keep in mind that the charging cable connector might get a little gross with salt or rust. A gentle clean as we just discussed will help avoid any drama transferring back to your phone. We want a smooth connection, not a surprise party!
