There’s also the second and important peculiarity. I'm not sure if charging via laptop is better - i've tried that with my two MacBooks (Pro and Air) but eventually got the watch back to life via a wall adapter. It must be related to the different surge protectors that change the wave shape of the current. I found two new tricks that helped me.įirst, believe it or not, but it matters into which wall outlet you plug the adapter. The suggested solution (wait until the battery dies completely) hasn't worked in my case, and I'd been fiddling with that snake of death for about a month, until I figured it our today. Note: This solution is findable if you spend a lot of time scratching all over the internet, and ignore all the suggestions that don't actually work, but I thought it should be here in the forums too. But after I let the battery die completely and started charging, the temperature while charging was normal, not hot at all.
One way to tell if this "cure" is working: When it’s NOT working, my watch and charger got really, really hot to the touch. Then start charging, and let it charge for a long time, such as the officially recommended 2.5 hours. That is, until nothing happens when you press the side button - no red snake, no green snake, just a black screen. Leave the watch alone until the battery dies completely. It happened to me in June 2020 after installing a new battery bought from iFixit into my original ("series 0") Apple Watch. People have had this happen to them after installing a new battery, or sometimes just randomly. The problem: Apple Watch shows a green snake ("charge me please") when on the charger but it doesn't charge or respond - except perhaps by getting very hot when sitting on the charger. Just the usual 'golly, take it to Apple' - where the battery repair is $79 (about $95 with shipping and taxes). This question was asked in these forums but never usefully answered.
