Hi,
I recently ordered and recieved a broken apple watch series 4 from eBay, it was said that it showed absolutely no sign of life. I tried opening it and testing the battery, but nothing came up from that. Would anyone else know what else could be the reason that the watch suddenly stopped working completely?
Thanks,
Simon
Is this a good question?

Hi Simon,
I really hope you bought the watch because you really wanted an Apple Watch rather than wanting to hone your repair expertise. Apple Watches are notoriously non-repairable; there are really only three parts that are user-replaceable - the display, battery and force touch sensor. Everything else is sealed up tight and/or encased in epoxy and cannot be repaired without specialized equipment and expertise.
So really, you're pretty much down to replacing the battery and/or the display and hoping one of them fixes the problem. Since it's 1/10th the price of a new screen, I'd start with the battery and see if that works; if not, then a replacement screen is about all that's left to try.
