Hello
I have one of the older apple watches. When I put it on the charger the squiggle line and a green thunder bolt appear and flashes on and off.... but it doesn't seem to be charging as the screen is blank.... I tried to re start by holding both buttons down... nothing... ????
Hi
Follow the instructions here, including contacting Apple Support (mail-in service may be available, if required), making a Genius Bar reservation or visiting an Apple Authorised Service Provider if necessary:
If your Apple Watch won't charge or it won't turn on - Apple Support
Be sure to use only an Apple or MFi-certified USB power adapter or third-party accessory in conjunction with the Magnetic Charging Cable or Magnetic Charging Dock when charging your Apple Watch. If you are already doing so, try using another such cable and/or power adapter.
