Moisture detected in charging port solved

[KiaKaha]

Greetings everyone, recently I had an issue with the moisture in charging port message..

While I could still charge my phone using a wireless charger, this still bothered me..

I tried all the online suggestions such as resetting my cache and data from my usb port and also using a force stop on Android system..

While this worked once, the issue came back a few weeks later and I knew I had never got my phone wet. I even tried putting my phone in a bag of rice. 

Now for the SOLUTION:

I resorted to using some isopropyl alcohol and an artist brush and just cleaned my charging port thoroughly. 

I'm guessing the charging cable got dust in it and transferred to my charging port.

In the end it was a very cheap and simple solution and I have also fixed other friends phones with charging issues too using the same method.

Hope this helps and saves you the frustration I had.

KiaKaha...I tried this and IT WORKED!!!!!
I used Isopropyl alcohol in my medicine cabinet and a brush I use for my electric razor. Once done, I waited about 1/2 hr, restarted the phone hoping to clear the error message (it cleared) and after 2 - 3 months of using a wireless charger only, the USB port is working again.
Thanks for posting the fix! The official Samsung solutions didn't work.
