What does it mean when an Apple Watch will not even do a hard reset? When I try to do one it just shows the red lightning bolt/cable icons a couple times. I have tried everything. Even bought a new charger to rule that out (because it won’t charge either, which is what started all of this).
The watch is less than 1 year old, could it be the battery already?
Any ideas appreciated thanks!
Apple Watch Series 7
Thanks!
Yeah no great thanks. I have indeed confirmed all that but good stuff nonetheless! I went BACK through the steps again anyway - just in case. No matter what I press all I ever get is the stupid red lightning bolt with cable icons! EXCEPT when I first put it on the NEW charger I DO get the GREEN bolt/cable icons. However no matter how long I charge it, it won’t hold. I get red again!! 😮🤬
So am I doomed to call or (hopefully) chat with Apple support?
Dear,
“First of all, if the basis of the factor that determines it is revealed, a quick solution may be obtained.”
•Has it been updated?
•Isn't it a lack of charge?
“If you don't know even if you look it up, why don't you ask a nearby store or call Apple Support or chat?”
Sincerely,
“First of all, if the basis of the factor that determines it is revealed, a quick solution may be obtained.”
Sorry, but that makes no sense in English. If you prefer to post in your native language, we can try to use a translater.
Agreed.
However it DOES seem to be a charging issue and regardless if it needs updating or not - I am unable to do anything with it as is - so yes I suppose I need to talk to Apple support.
sigh… 😂
Thanks to all! 😎
Hello,
“Thank you for your feedback on this matter as it is currently being investigated by our concerned teams and they will get back to us shortly.”
•Did you recognize the need to change to another way of saying it?
•We think it would be better to explain it in an easier way.
•If somebody need to delete it, somebody can delete it.
Anyway, do your best！
Sincerely,
This is perfect. Thanks!
Hello,
If you have already confirmed it, you may not need it, but for your reference,
Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

If you have confirmed it, you may be able to get an expert to answer if you write it.
Good luck,
Regards,
You must be misunderstanding these forums: there are no teams and we cannot delete posts.
Contacting Apple support and having Apple check the charger seems a good idea at this point.
Yeah, ok thanks man!
Thank you very much.
Best of luck!
