JOHVOB35-

Oh no! That definitely sounds frustrating considering the phone is relatively new. Let's figure this out together. What happens when you try to charge your phone? When did the charging port stop working? Have you tried using a different charger or a different outlet?

When plugged in does nothing. The charger I have works on other s8 phones so I know that is not the issue.

That's really odd, JOHVOB35. We're eager to get this resolved for you. Has the phone been damaged or wet at all since you've had it? Even in the slightest way?

No damage that I am aware of to the phone.

How about the cable?

Also are you able to take a magnifying glass or clearly see the pins of the phone's charging port? Are any pins bent?

Cable works fine on another s8. Looking at pins everything looks okay to me

I guess

OK, one more thing to try. Try using a USB charging cable connected to a laptop, i.e. try slow-charging the phone... If it establishes a charge (maybe 4 or 5%), try switching over to your Samsung S8 charger.
