Series 3 Apple Watch screen goes from black to black/white lines
Had my watch for roughly 3 years. The screen goes from black to black/white lines. No icons etc show up.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

But it sounds like a hardware problem. For repair & service:

Hi. Thanks for your reply. The hard start didn’t work.
I will try the unpairing and fingers crossed it works :-).
