When charging your Samsung mobile does a yellow triangle appear? This warning icon means that there is an error when applying the load to the terminal, and it usually happens when the battery is at 0 percent and the device is turned off. In some models, this warning triangle does not appear, but you can see that after a few minutes with the cable attached to the connector, the terminal does not charge. Why does this happen? What is the solution? We explain the different scenarios.
Obviously, the triangle means that something is failing to load. In most cases it is usually because the charger is not original, either because of the adapter that goes to the current or because of the cable. ANDThis happens especially in the most recent models, such as Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S10, or Galaxy Note 10 in all its variants. When charging a Samsung Galaxy S9 or in terminals of the Galaxy A family or in the Galaxy M range. Therefore, it is best to use the charger that comes in the box, even if it is a fast charge and you are using one with less power. You can also try other chargers to see if they work. Sometimes the terminal does allow charging with a cable other than that of the device, but it is usually when there is enough battery to turn on the screen.
Check for dust or dirt on the micro USB or USB C connector. Especially if your device has USB C, since the slot is larger and more dirt can enter. With a toothbrush, gently rub and then blow to remove accumulated dirt. You can also do it with a toothpick, but in a much more careful way, since you could damage a component or break the toothpick inside the connector.
Mobile with moisture in the charging connector
Another cause of this yellow triangle in a Samsung mobile is because the connector has moisture. This prevents the terminal from sending power through the charger, as it could damage the connector. It is a simple safety measure and what we will have to do is dry the connector well. How? With a cloth, blowing lightly or with a blow dryer in cold air. Do not try to charge the terminal through the cordless base, as you could also damage it. If your Samsung mobile has gotten wet, it is better to wait a few minutes before charging it and check that all external components are dry. This notice may also appear differently. For example, with a drawing of a drop of water or with a warning in text.
If the problem persists, it is advisable to take your terminal to a Samsung store to check if it is a problem with the charger or the device.
