Apple Logo Appears Only Once When Plugged In

Hello everyone!

First of all, I do not know which version of Apple Watch this is. Someone gave it to me, but did not tell me which model it is. I believe it is an Apple Watch SE, but I am honestly not sure.

Well, the Watch simply does not turn on. When I connect it to the MagSafe Charger, I see the Apple Logo for about half a second, and then it disappears. If I play with the buttons a little bit, sometimes I can get it to turn back on... but the Watch itself I cannot get to boot. I would think this is either and issue with the battery or the button itself. Since I have little to no experience with the Apple Watch, I figured I would like to hear from you guys before I get inside. What do you guys think this issue is?

Hi @jadonlyon

Check on the back of the watch as all the information regarding model etc should be printed on there

@jayeff - I am not sure if this helps

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

@jadonlyon

7000 series indicates that it is the original Apple watch i.e. the very 1st one released. Not to be confused with an Apple Series 1 watch which came next.

ifixit still has some parts for it but not many.

@jadonlyon

Yeah.

Given its age most likely it is a battery problem if it has never been replaced and if it hasn't been charged for a long while.

Update (12/21/24)

@jadonlyon

I've changed the device you selected for your question to the correct one for the model.

Click on the Apple watch - original icon (to the right of your question) to see the ifixit repair guide.

Cheers
