I tried 3 cables and 2 chargers in different variations, didn't work. It's all good now. I took my phone into the Sprint store today and told the store owner who happened to be working the whole story, swimming and brake cleaner included. Now I know the owner a little bit and he's hooked me up with a 28% discount on my service(saving me $700 over 2 years), but I did not expect what happened next.
He put some goo gone on the black plastic that made it look glossy and brand new. Then he took off the red water damage sticker. I asked what he did that for and he said "so sprint will take it back and give you a replacement. We'll put the new sticker on from the replacement and then send it in". I told him I don't have insurance on it and he said "that's np, I'll just add it on for a few days so you can get your replacement." Wow, I did not expect that. Then last, but not least he offered me a job at another Sprint store that will be opening soon. I just so happened to looking for a Summer job. Looks like I'll be a Sprint employee

It's kind of weird how favoring this guy is to me, at least I'm reasonably sure he's not gay b/c I've seen his gf in the store before, but whatever idc too much cause I'm getting another working hero!! I already ordered a otter box case for it and I'll really try to be carefull with it this time. Thanks all for all your help!!
