Charging

[mrvlfan]

Has anyone else gotten this message before?

Got it this morning. Not even sure how moisture got in there, i haven't had my phone neslar any liquids especially the charging port. I can try to blow air into the port, but not sure about moisture.. 

Does anyone know of a good way to clean and dry it out?

Since u don't want liquids in the port, would u suggest to pour the alcohol on the toothbrush? And how would you suggest to dry it? Since it's not like u can just wipe it with a towel

You don't *pour* alcohol into the port, you use a Q-tip *slightly* wet with alcohol (which evaporates rapidly) and dry with the other end of the swab.  You would use a higher concentration of alcohol, 90-100%. As for drying after swabbing, a blow dryer or fan works quite nicely.

That's what I basically said i never pour alcohol so idk who said that u never do that or at that point put ur phone in a pool or shower with it lmao 🤣 no u dump little on tooth brush and u clean inside and get air compressor that u can get at Walmart its for electronics that will work i did it to my dad's phone it stop what his issue was and my phone as well

If you use alcohol, use some that is as close to 100% alcohol as you can find. Don't use 70%, it has 30% water in it.

And alcohol wipes are normally 70% alcohol, so only use them for cleaning the screen & the side and back covers of the phone - just stay well away from any ports, holes, microphones, or speakers if you use them.

One shouldn't even use alcohol at all for cleaning the screen, as it will deteriorate the oleophobic coating.  If one must use alcohol, they should dilute it so that it's more like 20% alcohol to water, or get the screen wipes.  If one wants to sanitize, they should get a UV-C flashlight or sterilizer box to do so.

Of course you're right, if your model has an oleophobic coating. Sorry about that one.
