I accidentally spilled some water on my Moto G Power 2023 while charging it last night. The phone shut off immediately, and after I dried it with a towel and left it in front of a fan for several hours, it powered back on. However, now it keeps showing "No SIM card detected." I removed and reinserted the SIM card multiple times, cleaned the slot gently with a dry brush, and even tried another SIM card from a different carrier, but the phone still doesn't recognize any SIM. I performed a factory reset hoping that might fix any software glitches, but no luck. The phone connects fine to Wi-Fi and can make emergency calls, so it’s definitely a SIM recognition issue. I'm hesitant to open it myself since the warranty is still active, but I’m not sure if this is a hardware problem or something else I could try fixing on my own. Has anyone experienced a similar water-related SIM recognition issue with this model? What steps worked for you? Also, would a local repair shop be able to fix this without voiding my warranty, or should I just contact Motorola support right away?

@yb21, you hit the nail on the head with the uneven oil breakdown. I’ve had a similar issue with a cast iron skillet that sat unused over winter. The slow, patient re-seasoning you mentioned really brought back that slick surface. I’d add that after baking the oil on, letting it cool completely before wiping off any excess helps keep the seasoning smooth and even. Also, I noticed some folks here suggested avoiding soap altogether, which I agree with for preserving that patina. Just a quick wipe with a damp cloth and drying thoroughly before oiling seems to do the trick. It’s like giving the iron a little TLC without stripping away the character Grandma built up over time.

Those random locations really sound like what @TechWiz101 mentioned about VPNs or ISPs routing traffic differently. Even if you’re not using a VPN, some ISPs bounce your connection through various servers, which can trigger those alerts. Also, double-check any connected apps or devices that might still have access to your account - sometimes old phone apps or email clients keep trying to sync and cause these notifications. Since you’ve already done the basics like changing passwords and enabling 2FA, it might help to review your account’s active sessions or connected devices list (most email providers have this). Logging out of all sessions and revoking app permissions can clear out anything suspicious. If the alerts persist, contacting your email provider’s support might give more insight into what’s triggering them.
