Hoping it doesn't take to long?

 
Anymore have any experience at the Ubreakit on West 96th street in Manhattan?
 
Edit: Problem diagnosed, corroded USB port!
Never in water, HUMIDITY for 2 weeks corroded my port, no salt air. Just NYC weather. This should not happen to a $1300 phone, let alone a phone that is 6 months old. The repair guy was very nice, looked in the port, said another Samsung phone that can't take HUMIDITY!
 
Advice to the wise, get a USB plug for you device!

Put your phone in maintenance mode, the ppl that work for that chain are just anyone and your phone has a lot of personal information...

They also ask to make sure everything is backed up. They have to follow policy as well. They can't go through personal data on a customers device. If the LDI(Liquid Damage Indicator) is tripped, then that is a Sub PBA replacement if after going through the diagnostics to deem it faulty.

It's something else most likely. I am in Hawaii and have way more humidity here than in NY.

My bet is winter it got wet. Last I remember yall love to use salt up there. Over time without cleaning it will cause it to rust quicker.

Humidity where I live is 98%, and now during summer it is 50%, and I've never had this problem.
