I've cleaned the contacts up a bit by turning the watch off, then using a cotton tip with isopropyl alcohol to try and remove some of the corrosion on the end 2 contacts.
I can see a coppery colour now, but it's still not charging. -
Hey Gordon,
So I wore my Bangle for the first time out today on a bike ride, and I didn't realise about the contacts being so prone to corrosion.
I've only got one of the SWD gold dots left, and neither of the charging dots appear to be there - and it's not charging anymore :(What can I do to fix this, or is this something that can be replaced under warranty?
Semi-false alarm! It's charging now!
The screen was locked, so perhaps the LCARS charge indicator didn't update until the next minute ticked over.
I'm still concerned that 3 of the 4 contacts have corroded (including the 2 charge ones), and that 1 of the middle ones didn't. I'll stick a piece of tape over all of them for now, and take it off at each charge.
