Apple Watch Series 1 won't power on
My Series 1 won’t power on after sitting in a box for several months. It just cycles between the flashing Apple logo. The 2-button hold for 10-second solution produces no change. Apple asks $224 to fix a 4-year old watch that can’t use the current and future software. Any ideas other than buying a new one?
Questa è una buona domanda?

Well, it won’t do anything off the charing puck. When on the puck, it cycles between the white apple logo and a blank screen (and gets warm). It never goes beyond that on the puck, and does nothing off the charger.
I can try the refrigerator trick but not sure if it is a battery issue.
Any other ideas welcome!
thank you

I'm dealing with this right now. I've received 3 batteries from iFixit and all have been defective. The voltages have been way too low (2.2V to 2.4V) to accept a charge or boot the watch. It should be closer to 3.7V-3.8V at rest even when fully depleted. I have a thread going here (Apple Watch S1, Still have a boot loop after battery replacement) and over at macrumors (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ser...)

I replaced the battery with this one purchased from Amazon and it it's back to normal! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T5B...
