All of a sudden my S7 active started to claim that “moisture has been detected” and that I had to remove the cable and dry the charging port. The phone has never been exposed to water. I followed all the advice I could find online: · Stored the phone in basmati rice for an entire week · Used hair drier for over 3 hours blowing straight into charging port and open SIM card port · Left it in the sun for a few hours constantly ensuring it never overheated The problem persisted and the battery ended up dying. I then followed the disassembly guide found on ifixit.com and removed the piece of board that contains the charging port. I then cleaned it and removed any sign of corrosion (which there sure was). Now re-assembled the phone refuses to react to the power button as well as to the charging cable and remains completely dead. Any advice? Can I buy the piece of board with the charging port from anywhere? Thanks for your answer!
@bikeoholic absolutely can you get that part. Do a online search for “Samsung Galaxy S7 Active SM-G891A USB Charging Dock Port Mic Flex Cable “ or check this place It is in stock and not expensive. Also, remember to change your battery as well.
