My watch charges fine but the shoulder buttons do not work and I am unable to switch it on. Where can I take it to be repaired?
Is this a good question?

Send that to someone who fixes watches. Maybe all it needs is to get cleaned. If the buttons are working then try reseting this way.
- Press and hold the Power key until REBOOTING displays at the bottom of the screen.
- Press the Power key repeatedly until the Select REBOOT MODE screen displays.
- Press the Power key to highlight ' Recovery'.
- Press and hold the Home key to select.
- Keep holding the Power key until the Gear S3 begins rebooting.

This is a common issue when attempting to replace the battery. There is a small ribbon that controls the buttons on the side. The connection to the power button on the ribbon is damaged. It looks like a very difficult repair for the average person. I am currently checking out the cost of a new motherboard vs just just getting a different watch.
