Apple Watch SE 2020 black screen, won’t restart but is responding
I’ve seen a few posts similar but not exact. I was clearing a notification last night on my watch SE purchased in 2020 when the screen went black. I put it on the charger, got a notification it was fully charged a bit later, but the screen is still black.
It does vibrate when I press the power button but doesn’t respond to a restart — or if it does, I can’t see, the apple logo never appears when I hold the power and crown. I’ve also tried changing the watch face to no avail. My activity and steps still log. Pulled up diagnostics and there’s a log (below) from approximately when my watch went black.
Any suggestions? Paying $219 to repair a watch whose battery doesn’t even last 12 hours (with most notifications and apps off) seems insane to me. Though I’m also concerned a new watch would have just as poor battery life 😔
