@Gordon any ideas? If not, how can I do a return/exchange?

Thanks for the tip but sadly that didn't work.

Heyhey folks, I'm having the following issue:
The watch powered off after being completely out of battery over Christmas and after multiple charging attempts, it doesn't start anymore. The watch is only 5 months old and worked fine so far, so this is weird. The screen is completely black and nothing happens when holding the power button.
What I've tried so far:
- charge overnight, then hold the power button for 2s, 10s, 30s
- made sure that the power adapter is facing the right direction (right when looking at the watchface, left when contacts are facing up), then charge overnight again, repeat
- cleaned the contacts, and charge overnight again
- took off the lil sticker on the back and properly wiped the contacts with alcohol wipes, charged overnight again
- made sure there's 5v on the charger with multimeter - charger works fine, cleaned the charger pogo pins, charged overnight... yadda yadda, nothing worked, watch ded.
- watch reads 0.0V on the outer 2 pins
EDIT: - tried the watch jumpstart thing with a 3V battery on pin3 and GND
Context:
- Bought 2nd August 2022
- Worked fine until storage corruption (resolved, thread: https://forum.espruino.com/conversations/380541/#comment16725446)
- Never been in extreme temperatures, so battery shouldn't be damaged from temperature.
Any help appreciated,
Thanks,
Flo - charge overnight, then hold the power button for 2s, 10s, 30s

Thanks so much for the help, folks! Watch is fixed through the temp firmware +
erasePagecommand. Was able to reinstall the default firmware. -
Here's the full output:

Hm, this is interesting - I can't get more than 15102 lines of log.
I've tried twice and it doesn't go any further. Am I missing something?
And lemme know if this is enough or if I can erase the flash and go back to a normal firmware.EDIT: Nevermind. I had the setting "save log to localstorage" set to true and that was apparently the culprit. Now it's gone past 16k and still counting. Will post new log here in a minute.

Sure I can do the flash backup. Lemme know how.
Heyhey @Gordon! Thanks for getting back to me. The inner pins read 1.6mV across.
I've heated the watch to something like that and it's sadly still not charging.
Sorry for the inconvenience but yeah, IDK what else to do with the battery and why it suddenly died.
