I have an old apple watch that was stored for a long time, now it doesn’t turn on, it gets stuck in a beating apple logo when connected, support sais there is no solution but a paid replacement. I found on internet an iBUS cable that claims to be a way to enter DFU mode so you are able to apply a full restore from the OS image. Do you know if it is real and if it works?
Questa è una buona domanda?

Yes, the iBus tool is what you will need to enter into DFU mode.

@danj where can we get this tool?
Can I purchase the iBUS tool from iFixit?
@bertrandth82713 - iFixit doesn’t offer this tool, here’s one source For Apple Watch Restore Cable IBUS S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 38mm 42mm Recovery WatchOS
I have an original Apple Watch with a corrupted iOS and I bought an iBus S1 to attempt a recovery. Unfortunately signed OS update files are no longer available, so as far as I can tell an update with iTunes is no longer possible.
The only alternative I've seen is to get a membership on the manufacturer's site, which then allows you to use their tools to update with (presumably) an unsigned file.
I bought mine used without a serial number so I can't register it, leaving me unable to use their tools and therefore unable to update my watch. It does, however, work great with iTunes if I only had a valid file to use.
