Corrosion

[mjtlj]

I have a fourteen day old Samsung Galaxy S4. The camera stopped working after about a week and on day fourteen the phone began having charging issues. I took the phone into Verizon, they were all set to give me a new phone for the defective camera when the service rep looked at the charging port and declared the warranty void due to water damage evidenced by corrosion. I am not aware of any water damage to this phone. Can corrosion develop and show itself in fourteen days?

Yes, if the phone did get wet (which need not mean immersion) corrosion can develop in less time than that.
