Apple Watch Black Screen

So your Apple Watch Screen isn't working after pressing the power button or after being fully charged. Or maybe you just got done replacing the screen and you hear sounds coming but nothing pops up on the display. This page will walk you through reasons this could be happening, and we will help with diagnosing the issue.

If you have tried turning your device on and off with no luck, try force restarting your watch. Start by pressing and holding both the side button and Digital Crown for around 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

It is possible that the display cable may have lifted off its connector socket due to drops or during a repair process. Be sure to follow a guide on your specific watch and go through the process of making sure all cables are connected correctly.

It is possible for your Apple Watch to be in working order, but your display be broken. You might have dropped it and damaged the display without seeing any obvious cracks. Sadly, it doesn't mean that there isn't damage underneath the glass. Be sure to get the correct part for your Apple Watch!
