Wow, after charging for 3 days and holding two buttons in and even a few spam presses on the side button nothing worked. I tried finger pounding several times. Finally, after about 3 rounds of finger pounding the side of the watch it came on. This is a Series 6 watch and the only fixes I could find on that one was press and hold two buttons. I'm so glad I watched your video and it actually worked!! Thank you so much! It may be coincidence, but the last time Apple pushed an update my watch would not turn on. Both times I was charging the watch when it happened. May be nothing but thought I would mention it.

So… after two rounds of this I’m happy to say you helped me restore my Apple Watch. It had been black screened for 3 weeks. The second round of 15 min in the freezer helped. It came on with the red snake… I put it on the charger and now it’s back to normal!!! Thanks you much

The tapping is what worked. I tried the force restarts and turning on/off multiple times and was so frustrated that the watch wouldn't turn on. On the second try, steady and somewhat hard taps on the front, back and sides of the watch followed by the force restart worked. I thought me watch was toast. Thanks so much for the solution.

FYI, if you have this problem but your watch still works, the problem might be your watch is not water resistant.
This is my personal experience, had my Apple Watch for 6 months, used it basically for daily activities. Never took a shower or swim with it, so the only contact it had with water was whenever I washed my hands or sweat after a workout. Then the screen goes blind but I can still feel it working and was managing it with phone app.
I came here did all theses step and had fleeting victory. One day I decided to keep it dry over night and all day and the screen worked all day perfectly till I went to the gym and began to sweat buckets, after 1 hour of working out the screen went off again. I dried it and kept in front of the ac to dry again overnight and all day and it was on again all day till I began to sweat during my workout again which is the purpose I bought it for. Very sad considering how much it costs to own one.

The one other best step i did after trying all the steps is …. Drain out all the battery keep the watch aside for a some days and try to charge it will it will fix… Apple products max resolve them self instead of opening and fixing … one Apple service person did open the display and told display was gone but after draining the battery it is working fine with no issues

tapping then holding both buttons down for a few seconds finally got the damn thing to come on. Thanks for the video I appreciate it!

As much as I personally dislike Apple products, I will confirm that after 20-25 in freezer it fixed the issue. Thank you.

I can’t believe this actually worked! I went through all the steps once, put it back on the charger, then hard reset it and it works fine now. Thanks!

OMG, after about an hour of trying everything, finally decided to put the watch in the freezer and was totally amazed it worked!!!! Thanks so much, really thought I was going to have to buy a new watch.

Bro I appreciate u so much I tried the tapping and face changing method and it actually worked . I really didn’t think it was going to it just kind of sounded corny and to good to be true. Thank you sir I really appreciate it once again!

[laurenpetersen]

I was skeptical about it but the freezer worked! Wow! Thanks so much for sharing this!!!

[lianaganescu]

Worked for me after having a black screen with no logo appearing - when trying to reset, and also no light on when connected to power! did not try the last step. thanks a lot!

Omg! I have Apple Watch 6 and it just went blank on me. Still working and receiving notifications etc but black screen. Apple said it would cost $349 to change my screen. Verizon was of no help. My warranty just ended 1.5 months ago. thank you so much! I tried all of these steps with no luck, numerous times. I did freezer method and it worked! Thank you so much! Not sure how long it will work for but it’s working now. Phew!

[jonnyboyA]

Thanks bro I literally bought one today brand new and this happened and you helped me

[smcdaniel]

I can’t believe it, the tapping really worked for me! Crazy!

[xgodofme]

Oh wow! This actually worked! My watch hadn’t turned on for MONTHS prior to this.

[aberrantstyle]

Thank you 💗.
Your first tip haf solved my problem.
But why did it happened?

[godfredamankwah]

I can't thank you enough. My series 7 has been off for about a year and wouldn't turn on when I decided to use it today. I was at my wits end when I saw your video. I threw it into the refrigerator for 15 minutes and did the tapping and bam! It's on
