What do you do when you have a Samsung Galaxy S6 that is a week out of the 24 month warranty, it won't charge and the fault (with no fix) is plastered all over many forums.

Some possible relevant or irrelevant context:

The charger port was replaced under warranty 6 months ago, as the phone wasn't charging.

Current the fault:

When you plug the charger into the phone, it detects the charger as a VR device (making a VR setup noise) and loads a black screen with a cross in the bottom right corner.

The phone refuses to charge.

Diagnostics:

The Vodafone store tested on their charger. Still faulty.

The Vodafone store did a factory reset. Still faulty.
