Hi all, my sisters apple watch series 2 wouldnt hold charge so I went to fix it for her. Did the battery replacement and now it wont turn on at all.
I have tried it with two different brand new batteries so it rules out that its a dodgy battery. I have tried to turn the apple watch on without a battery in while connected to the charger and it just boot loops.
It also makes this clicking sound while on (I hope you can hear it on video)
. Will any of you be able to help or suggest what I try next?
hello Ethan, I don’t know why most people think that if a device stops working the battery is always to blame. It’s a myth. It doesn’t work with battery connected but without it seems okay. Just this bootloop. The device does not start in user mode without the battery electronics connected, which is normal. You must make sure that the connection is correct and the induced current has a correct value. It’s best to take the watch apart on the table and check each module. Screen works - the first step done.
