S9 Baro - Screen blank Help?

[Chris Delaney]

Watch working perfectly until a few days ago. Blank screen, assumed it was flat battery.
Put on charge, nothing changed on screen.
Vibrating buttons when pressed.
Tried soft reset (holding top right button for 12 seconds) - nothing.
Connected to Suunto Link. Tried to update…

Came up with ‘Update Failed’.

Now when I connect to Suunto Link - nothing responding??

Love some advice.

@Chris-Delaney I think you didn’t perform the soft reset correctly. If the watch vibrates pressing the buttons keep the upper button pressed for more time, 20 seconds at least, then after 20/30 seconds the screen should wake up.

Hope it helps.

@cosme-costa Yeah, sadly no vibration anymore.
HR lights still flash, but nothing and repeated attempts to update are failing.

I don’t know if it still could be a workaround, but if nothing else is working, what about trying to put the watch in shipping mode with this in Suuntolink
