So i have a galaxy s4 and it was working just fine until it died. For some reason, my phone won't charge anymore. When i plug it into my computer, it detects it but tells me to remove the device because it's taking up too much power to restart it. When i plug it into the wall outlet, it just heats up the charger but nothing goes on with the phone. Does anyone know how to fix it??
