My Samsung Samsung m10 phone got drenched in rain and I found its screen and display ok and phone working alright but stopped working when battery gone to 0% and phone not taking charge I gave it to Samsung Service centre and took a deposit of 3800 but even after 10 days they are still not sure if they can repair it or not. What will happen if they fail to repair ?
