In warranty, let Samsung fix it.

OOW? There are too many videos about unplugging, plugging in the battery such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1jrrVcQ8f8 Sorry but with the 100+ videos about this, I can't duplicate the web.

This one is widely discussed so besides the usual cable and charger issue, I gave you the other reason and common fix.

I understand your consternation but thought I'd go to the end game play first.

So bottom line? In warranty, let Samsung deal with it.
OOW (out of warrantry) will have you swapping cable, charger and trying the battery trick.
