I don't know how though. It happened today after 4PM since that's when I last received a text message via CMC (and at the time it was on my desk at home). You might think it's water damage and that a day in some ricey company will help. Nope, because as the next image clearly (well, as clearly as possible without a pro macro lens anyway) illustrate, the water damage indicator is NOT activated.
Already had issues with the S-Pen making it almost unusable. If that had happened a month later, I dunno, I would have admitted defeat and just buy a Note20. Now it feels like an untimely death. I'll be in touch with Samsung and Rogers pertaining to Quebec's legal warranty and try to claim it.* In the meantime, does anyone here have any idea how I could possibly retrieve some data from my phone or am I being delusional? Probably the latter huh?
* Quebec's law dictates that any good sold in/to the province must be functional and free of any hidden issue for "a reasonable duration", which varies by the nature of the good and its price. One could safely assume that any product sold on a contract should be usable for the duration of the contract. As phones as inexpensive as the A10e are sold for 200$ on a 24 month contract, I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect a 6x more expensive device to last just as much 🙃
