Quick diagnosis — Why the moisture detect warning appears
Samsung A33 includes moisture detection for the charging port to prevent short circuits. The warning can appear due to liquid ingress, condensation, or even debris and corrosion. Software flags charging as unsafe until the port is dry.
Step-by-step fixes (safe & tested)
- Power off the phone immediately and remove the SIM tray.
- Visual check: Inspect the USB‑C port for moisture, debris, or corrosion using a flashlight.
- Drying: Place device in a ventilated area with silica gel packs. Avoid heating with hair dryers or ovens.
- Cleaning: If dry, use 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush to remove corrosion.
- Software reset: After thorough drying, reboot and check for the moisture flag. Do not charge until the warning disappears.
- Advanced: If the warning persists, consider board‑level inspection focusing on the charging IC and connectors.
Printable checklist:
