![]() ![]() 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). After multiple attempts I have not seen the “green snake” anymore and now the battery will at times power to the Apple logo and turn off (never actually power cycling though on it’s own).This question was asked in these forums but never usefully answered. Overall, I assume the battery was charging. The Apple Watch doesn’t seem to be making it through the original charge causing it to repeatedly try to start with minimum power and doesn’t. ![]() After a short time charging an Apple logo started to appear randomly and again blank Screen(Face). I’ve went through the exact same thing only without a batty replacement, I never used my series 1 for near 5 months, When i wanted to use it again i started to charge it only for the Green Snake to appear then blank Screen(Face). Has anyone been successful getting beyond a similar situation on a consistent basis? I assume that as with the iPhone there is logic involved in the whole charging system and that somewhere an IC on the motherboard, the battery and the charger are not communicating with each other correctly. So basically it appears to be at the same status as before the replacement. After multiple attempts I have not seen the “green snake” anymore and now the battery will at times power to the Apple logo and turn off (never actually power cycling though on it’s own). Even when leaving it on the charger for an extended time I never noticed the watch getting excessively warm. My amp meter after some initial swings seemed to settle in at around 0.32amps with occasional moments of zeroing out. When I first put it on the charger (OEM charger and cord by the way) I got what people have termed the “Green Snake of Death”. The physical replacement went well and I got the watch back together fine (actually easier than I anticipated getting into the watch). I told him I thought there might be more to it than needing a new battery, but since he had purchased one I would install it for him. The watch after having set unused for several months would power to the Apple logo then shut off. In my repair shop I don’t work on Apple Watches but I did replace the battery on a Series 1 for a friend who had purchased a replacement battery on his own from iFixit. ![]()
