Apple Watch has black screen, hard reset not working Apple Watch has had black screen for a week now. No amount of hard resets will fix it. Voiceover is off. No settings causing this. According to Apple Support there are no hardware issues causing this. Touchscreen works. I can feel the vibration when I touch screen. Just have zero clue as to what I’m pushing. Any help would be much appreciated. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

This looks like a hardware issue and you'll have to send it in for service.

Check the links on this Apple Watch service page as a start:

Apple Watch Service & Repair - Apple Support

Or give them a call:

Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support

Or visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place:

Thank you! I just sent it to the Apple Service. But I must say that this Community is more reliable than Apple Support, on which my experience has been yucky with two advisors! They are a waste of time
