Continuous moisture detected error when charging



During past few days, my S7 has suddenly started reporting moisture detected - check USB port error whenever I try to charge it, although the phone has never been exposed to water. Sometimes it will allow to charge a bit, but will soon revert to that error. In some rare occasions it will Fast charge a bit, but I have to re-plug USB several times to get it, otherwise it will just be slow charge. The situation has been only worsening lately.

Rebooting doesn't help, nor does shutting off and on. It's the same with other USB chargers and cables. I have already try to blow in with hair dryer and compressed air, which helps a bit temporarily, but not much.

What to do? Sending it to the repair service is the last resort, because I feel it just won't be waterproof anymore after I receive it back. There's also a major problem that our official local service is well-known of cheating and fraudulence, because they just always say that the phone has been exposed to the water and will just send pictures of some other oxidized motherboards or either simply mark the moisture detectors.
