After replacing battery, Galaxy watch shuts off to "cool down"

I assume that there's a battery temperature sensor that did not get properly reconnected, but I can't find anything that would tell me where to look. The watch is fully charged. I can turn it on, but within 15 seconds, the screen says "Watch turned off to cool down", and then it shuts down.

Alright, I have a probable answer. I took the watch apart again, and the connector from Step 4 wasn't seated properly. 🤦

When I reassembled the watch the first time, I thought that maybe, since they lined up when I put the two halves back together, they would make a firm connection, but they did not. When I took the watch apart again to investigate, the connector was clearly not attached. I reattached it firmly, reassembled the watch, and powered it back on. The watch stays on now, so I'm pretty sure that was the issue.

Hello Karl, was this fix long lasting for you ?

I have similar troubles and I also converge to the fact that this cool down situation seems to be linked with the quality of this connector (bad contact ?). It seems that when I fully disconnect this connector and let it disasaembled from the mother board, the cool down issue is disappearing (at least for the last 36 hours ...). I am thus losing the heart sensor function, but at least all other functions remain available ...

Rem. : on a first attempts, it didn't worked : I then reopened the watch to discover that the connector had ... reconnected (due to the tighness of the watch case in fact). So on a second attempt I put a small piece of tape on the connector to isolate it.
