I couldnt charge my phone. At first, the screen only display the symbol of current (without any percentage numbers as per normal charging). And now, when i connected my phone with the power cable, the screen is just blank. In both situations, the phone couldnt be charged at all.

Ive used different chargers, but the problem remains.

My main worries are the data in the internal storage.

How can i recover all data, including the whatsapp chats, sms, photos, documents, etc, when the phone has no power and couldnt be charged?

If the problem is with the charging ic, what can i do to get all my data in the phone back?

TYIA

In the months leading up to tonight, it used to get really really hot while charging, to the point where I had to unplug it every 40-50 percent or so out of fear that it would get too hot and, I don't know, explode or something.

I've also chosen to delay any Software Updates the phone would try to push on me, for the last 1-2 years? Maybe?? I don't remember??? Could it maybe have something to do with that? And it says that the Update can only be done at like +20%, so I'm kind of screwed anyways.

So I guess tomorrow I'll head into town to see if they have some sort of wireless charging thing for Samsung. If that fails, I guess I'll try cleaning the charging port (I have this irrational fear of getting electrocuted whilst doing so but I'll do anything for my camera roll), and if that too leads nowhere, then I guess I'll buy another Model of the exact same phone and Frankenstein the Motherboard into the new phone (I am NOT going to try to remove the memory chip thing, no siree).

...Are there any other things I could try? Ones that, perhaps, involve less emergency invasive surgery on my phone? But as I've said before, I'll try anything at this point.

Thanks for reading.
