In this video I'll teach you how to fix one of the most common Apple Watch problems: the green snake of death, which prevents the Apple Watch from charging and freezes it completely. Hope you like it!
It’s honestly pathetic that we even have to troubleshoot through problems like this. Apple needs to get it together
right i spend hundreds of dollars on a smart watch just to weaken over some "battery problem"
@@araragomen392 literally
Second time this happens to me
£300 to send it off at Apple Store 😂 no thank you
100%
Thank you so much for all of this information. I have no clue about Apple products but my son gifted his sister a watch before he left for college. Just got it and it had the green snake of death. Only thing is 1) I had the charger upside down 😂 2) had it connected to a power source with multiple jacks 3) it wasn't hooked up to a apple cube. I learned alot today. Thank you. It just powered on to the apple logo right at the end of this video.
This being a “faulty battery” with their watches, honest practice would be for Apple to recall those watches and replace them with an adequate battery; Apple Care or not. This is clearly a manufacture’s issue and not the burden of the customer.
I actually got a replacement battery for it and successfully put everything back together but the snake is still there.
@@jeneva going through the same situation right now. And it overheats after showing green snake of death when charging
It software issue not battery
@@Riley77713did you manage to resolve this?
@@Riley77713same situation with my apple. Did you fix it now?
Worked perfectly!!! I tried it a couple times using the multi USB charger that i have and it did not work. The key seems to be plugging it directly into an outlet with a single apple charger. Thanks a ton for the help!!
So I did this and it absolutely worked. Only thing I did differently was I kept making the charge image flash on, until it wouldn’t. Instead of letting it sit there and die, I figured I could expedite the process by getting it to die sooner.
another thing you can try if the problem started after watchOS 8.3 update: Put the watch over the charger only for 2 minutes, them remove it from there for another 2 minutes. Repeat that until you get at least 50% and do a config reset. Don't try to reset the configs if you don't get 50% cause the process you drain that even if you keep the watch on the charger and you will have a dead loop.
I read a ton of comments and the thing that worked for me was changing the plug to an outlet and on an iPad charger. Gave it enough power with the stronger power brick and started up in 3 minutes
I never comment but can’t believe this worked! I was charging from a extension lead for 8 hours! And as soon as I plugged directly to the main wall within 10 minutes it worked Thankyou!
I listen to your advice and follow it completely. I spent like 2 hours pushing the buttons so the battery die faster. Once it stop working, I plugged it to the charger and 15 minutes later the magic happened. Thank you for your advice.
I got mine for Christmas cuz my dad got it like 4 months before he died for Xmas and now I’m scared if it’s broken cuz it’s the last gift he has ever gotten me and I’m scared if it’s broken and it has the green snake of death
hey, when u plugged it in after draining completely. did it show the green snake or the lightning green .please let me know
Just took mine out package and try to cut it on no luck. Put it on the charger no luck at all should I get a new battery
did pressing the buttons actually make it die faster?
@@moonbug._x yes i did let it stay for 2 days then there was also red snake so i keep up pushing for 25 min then i got nothing
Finally, a clear video with clear steps about this problem
Finally, James Thann commented on a video
Thank you so much! It’s so hard finding an easy video to follow. Your so straightforward and easy to follow!
Thank you so much! Haven’t had my watch working for months and it worked!
Thank you!!! Loved how you explained it. I can still see the time so I need to wait! Dang!!!
Thank you soooo much, when this happened to my Series 3 I thought that it was dead but now it on and working thanks 😁😁😁
I have a series 3 and it’s not working.
Just coming back to this video about a month later. It took forever for it to die completely but it works just fine after fully charging it so just be patient. this video saved me hundreds. Thanks bro your the bomb
Thank you very much for your help! Now my Apple watch S3 works perfectly! 🙏
My experience: Following his steps, I took my watch off of the charger. After about 8 hours, my watch died. I plugged my charger into the wall and placed my watch on it. The apple logo popped up. After about 30 seconds, the green snake of death came back. That was totally okay though because after about 15 minutes, the snake disappeared and the watch turned on. Thank you so much!!!!
thank you for this information because if i did this and i saw the green snake of death again i would go bonkers. i just got my used series 4 apple watch and i’m hoping this works. i’m currently in the process of letting it die out..
@@moonbug._x so did it work out?
What charger did u use? Did u use an original type c?
I just drained the battery of my series 7. Then when i plugged it, it showed the apple logo, then i get the green snake again. fingers crossed it would finally boot up.
@@jamaustin2579 I’m not sure what it’s called. Just a regular Apple phone charger
Thank you, you’ve saved me from getting a new one!
Thanks for this video it was so helpful, my watch is working now.
You saved me so much money. Thanks bro!!!!!
Thank you! Easy fix!
I still see the red snake but it worked when I moved to use the wall charger directly. Thanks a lot!!
Thank you! It helps me a lot
I was charging from a power bar and only caused apple watch to get hot and not chsrge after 4 hours But the important part you said was charged from the wall and that made the difference Thank you
for my iWatch Series 6, took 5 days for its battery to be completely drained. Then i plugged it to my iMac using an USB and it work perfectly. Now it is workin perfectly
Once the battery is completely drained, and you put it back on charge, what color is supposed to be the screen? Does the red or green snake of death come ?
Thanks a lot, my iwatch works well now👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
It worked for me 2/2 times so this man is legit
This worked on my Apple Watch!! Thank you.
Thanks for the assistance you gave me to enable me access my Apple watch 4..
I had been unable to use my watch for 3 months now and this method worked for me!! If you are having difficulty with running your battery down, do it manually by constantly pressing the side button to wear it out.
Thanks for the video! My Apple watch series 6 had the green snake of death and would not charge after days on my charger. I did what you said...just let it die. Now I do have to admit, it took almost a week to completely go black and not show anything! I put it on a charger and connected it a wall outlet and IT STARTED CHARGING AGAIN!! THANKS!!
I’m doing the same thing but its been 2 weeks and it hasn’t died
@@shadowstar3580 how long did u leave on the charger before u took it off?
Do you get the red snake of death when the battery is fully drained? :)
Thank you so much!!! It fox mine right away!!!!!
Thank you for this! I just opened my brand new AW 8 and got that snake screen. I’ll be taking it back to the store tomorrow before the 14 day return policy expires. What a bad first impression though for my first ever Apple Watch.
Thank you so much! This worked after a few tries, my experience is that you have to be very careful and patient, then you’ll get it back!
just bought mine today and i have this issue, now i'll try your suggestion, hope it works...
Thanks it helped me to put the charger on the wall outlet instead of the extension !
My Apple Watch is saved thought I was gonna have to buy a new one thank you 🙏🏽
It took me 2 weeks to completelly drain the new battery. Yes, I put a new iFixit battery and forgot to follow they recommandations to drain it under 10% BEFORE charging it.
Thanks!!! It worked for me
Thank you, this worked for me.
Thank u thank u thank you!!❤❤ I was about to give up. I charged it for 2 days on USB device but your advice using wall outlet bring my watch to life! It needed that extra juice since I haven’t charged for 1.5 years cuz I couldn’t find it during the move! OMG- I was about lose hope cuz I kept on getting the red snake and then green snake but would not charge! I did the force start but nothing.. I took it to outlet and within 5 minutes it was charging and shaking the charging time balance. Again, thank u thank u❤❤❤❤❤❤
FOR EVERYONE IN 2023. IF YOU HAVE A NEW APPLE WATCH INCLUDING THE ULTRA AND IT IS DEAD OUT THE BOX THEN YOU GET THE GREEN SNAKE. JUST PUT IT ON TRHE CHARGER FOR ABOUT A HOUR AND I PROMISE IT WILL WORK(MAKE SURE WHEN ITS PLUGGED IN THE CHARGE ICON IS GREEN NOT RED). IF THE ICON IS RED YOU WILL NEED A NEW CHARGER.
Another solution is using the official Apple charging cube… I depend on my watch as it can be difficult to get to my phone. My watch died a couple weeks ago and wouldn’t charge until I hooked it up to the Apple cube. I’d been using a double port 2.4 amp charger.
Hi just wanted to say thank you, this trick worked perfectly. I have an Apple Watch 3 whose screen was fuzzy (snowy) and by draining the battery completely and recharging afterward it’s now completely fine ! 🎉
thank u! my watch is working now!!
Thank you for this. About to try now
Greetings from the Philippines!!! This happened to my Apple watch last Monday night. But I took your advice and waited for the battery to fully discharge (fully drained Saturday afternoon). Charged it from a wall outlet and it is now working! Woohoo!!! Thank you very much 🙏
After drain then 8hrs of charging, nag automatic on po ba or must press the power button? Currently experiencing it kasi
@@KenandDawn Hi! Yes po, after it was fully drained (took 4 1/2 days in my case), as soon as there was a sign that the watch was charging (around 30-45mins after), I pressed the crown and power button until the apple logo appeared then I left it to charge for 10 hours.
Power and crow po ba sabay? And amo po ba yung sign na charging? Sorry kay gf kasi yung sira
@@KenandDawn Dapat Sir dead yung battery, kahit i-click po yung power, wala na kahit yung red snake. Pagkasaksak po sa wall outlet (use an adaptor po, pwede yung sa phone charger), pag bumalik na po sa usual charging screen, press crown and power sabay hanggang lumitaw ang apple logo. Tapos hayaan nyo lang po naka-charge for 8-10 hours
@@kristinejoypamintuan1760 ok, nadrain na nya wala na nalabas na red or green snake then chinarge nya mga 8hrs now wala nangyari like nagka red snake lang ulit. Wala yung usual charging screen :(
Thank you! recently my series 4 apple watch got into the death snake condition. I left my watch drain out for 2 days, charged it and back to normal again.
How long did it charge after draining?
@@charniecemuringwa6835 8 Hours, you can charge it on nigth
Mas maaf mau tanya, punyaku gitu jg si uler ijo. Jadi diemin aja yah beberapa hari tanpa di charge? Trus baru deh coba di charge lagi gitu? Makasih sebelumnya 🙏
@@DeeAprilia iya mas benar. Diemin beberapa hari sampai mati total, cas lagi dan seharusnya udah bisa hidup.
I am facing the same issue left it and battery drained but when I plug it it show green and got heat after 20-25 min it's show red snake then i plugged out and plug in again the same issue 20min green the. Red so what should I do

THANK YOU DANIEL!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This information really works. Thanks
I have the new se 2 watch. My question is can I use the fast charging block on this. Or do I need to buy a slow charger?
hi, i have a question....i left my series 3 watch to discharge for over a week....the only thing it showed was a red snake....a week or more went by, and the red snake still shows!!! what can i do to completely discharge the darn thing?, thx!
Thank you so much this worked for my Apple Watch series 7 … I thought I had lost it cause it’s brand new I’m so happy 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
What exactly did you do? Please help I bought a new watch it hasn’t even paired yet it’s not charging
Same thing happened to me today, bought a new one and the snake if death appears. Does this video work?
what did you do exactly?? I bought it today, but its not charging at all. Stuck on snake of death.
@@FullmetalThor I just put it on charge and luckily in about an hour it started to work.
@@vibes9134 Thanks for your reply. I tried charging it from my laptop. Luckily it worked. After about 30 mins, I switched to wall charger. Working fine now 😀
Hi, thank you for this, will definitely try it out. But mine was showing the temperature sign , switching on and off then that battery snake. Will try what you said here not sure if it’ll help my one. Please advise if you’ve got any advice for me
i have the same problem did you ever manage to fix it?
Best advice I’ve ever seen. Straight to the point. Simple and very easy to follow. Thank you very much. I will try your method right now.
How’d it go?
I came here to find out the same thing
He’s using his hands WAY too much. 😂
I wouldnt say it was to the point. it took him 5 minutes to say "leave it off charge for a day or two, let the battery run down to zero, then do a full recharge". thats a 20 second video
Whilst it was good advice, it was LONG - hardly the BEST advice ever, you need to watch more videos which give advice...
Thanks. I don’t know what I’m doing but it starting to boot up right now.
Thanks its work man you save a lot or mush of money for me.
plug into laptop and it worked doing the reset 🙏🏼
100%
Thank you I just got my Apple Watch for Christmas and after Christmas this happened so I’m going to test it out and let you know if it works!!!
Did it work ?
Did it work?
Bump
Did it work?
@@thedeadbot9471 yes sir
im gonna try this on my watch 🙌
I saw in another comment that you can connect it to the charger and then press both buttons at the same time for about two minutes. It worked for me!
this method doesn't work don't even try
This worked for me!! Thank you so much! It took 3 days for it to completely die before I could put it back on the charger. 😕 Not sure why when it was already dead?! LOL
Hey let me know if it was functioning properly after it came to life the second time..
@@khanaaqib1577 yes!!!
Thanks bro! I’m charging now, I’ll check it tomorrow!
@GAG it totally did my brotha!!!❤️
@GAG yeah I just had mine away turned off for a couple of months. It’s fine, it will wake up and everything is perfect, for sure
I haven’t been able to use my watch for years. When I go to charge it it shows the apple icon for a few seconds and it goes away.. it comes back every so often but it doesnt stay.. it doesn’t turn on. I tried to reset it by pushing tge two buttons at the same time and it didnt work. I tried the solution on this video and nothing. What else can you recommend to do ?
So I just bought a series 8 watch and this happened after I plugged it into a wall socket without even starting the watch, I’m wondering if I should try to fix it using this method or just take it back to the store
Thank you so much!!! It worked for me!!! I was so worried this morning because ive been charging my watch overnight and it was still stuck on the green snake mode.
hey, when u plugged it in after draining completely. did it show the green snake or the lightning green .please let me know
@@JulioCerdaJulioCCerda yes for me… but now i charge it for like 10min. How long i need to charge it? Tnx
I just got mine fresh out of the box and it's doing this. Very disappointed right now, I was so excited to use this watch :(
Hope this helps some people, I had an Apple Watch SE with the snake of death logo, I was pressing / spamming both buttons to try and make the watch die.. after a few mins the apple logo appears and my watch was fixed
thank you a lot !!!
This worked.... thank you so much....!!!! 1. plugin apple watch. you will get the green snake 2. press both crown and button for 15 secs 3. wait for 5 min 4. press the power button, and you will get the apple logo
bro thank you I panicked
Thank you very much. This worked for me too. 😊
I just got my Apple Watch on Christmas which was 6 days ago and it is all ready doing this
You are amazing thank you so much!
Thank you very much it is really work
I will try this 🙏🏻
Es hat funktioniert👍 Ich habe ein Original Netzteil für die Steckdose benutzt dann hat es funktioniert! Vielen Dank!!
Hi Great video but I was hoping thst you'd mention the red snake. That's all I get. What does that mean? It does go to green on the charger but nothk ng but red snake after that.
caraio irmao!! descobri seu canal em portugues e seu ingles é fera demais.. parabens
I bought a brand new watch today at BestBuy and had this issue, returned it and got a replacement which did the same thing. I'm not sure if these are lemons but I'm royally annoyed and I'm not sitting on it for days to drain the water while hoping for the best.
Series 8. Took a whole hour to charge and move from the snake screen to turning on. Was literally about to unplug and do this method and then I looked over- it switched on. So maybe give it an hour. I actually gave one back after it was on the charger for 30 minutes and this is the second watch with the same issue! So give it a try for an hour and see how you go. Hopefully this works otherwise.
Hi thank you for the video. My watch blinks logo when I try to charge. It is stuck . Can you help me
Message *jerrytoolzz* 0n |Nsta for help if this video doesn't work for you.
*jerrytoolzz* would surely be of great help.
Thankyou! This worked!!! I was disappointed because my new 6 came out of the box with the red “snake”. This was the best tutorial I found!! Cheers 😀
Mine too.. just open the box then the snake of death popped. Is it normal?
@@mayerme same problem here, did the vid work for you?
@@Sleazze any news?
I just opened the box and the snake. Hell m not gonna wait for two days. M returning it back and either they give me a good one or I need my money back. I payed like 500 plus dollar and this is what I got.
@@10zin58 what did they do in the end?
Hey thank u.. it worked for me.. but it took 2 weeks for my Iwatch to completely die:….
I got my series 6 watch today and it looks like that straight out of the box...
Same
Same!
Bruuuh same :/
@@eloycruz1002 Have it worked? Is it working now?
@@andymeyer656 It is working now
Mine was showing the red snake of doom, but by plugging it directly into the wall, I finally got a green snake!!! Finger's crossed that it will now take a charge. Thank you for the very specific instructions--best instruction video on this and I've watched about a dozen!
Did yours work?
I recommend if you have the red snake to keep clicking until the watch is drained took me 2 hours and then charge it
I just pulled it out the box
I literally just got mine and it did this. Unacceptable. Thank you for the video.
Same..
Hi Daniel, Quick tip-You're Blue Yeti Microphone should be turned with the dials facing you when you're speaking into it.
it worked you're a star!!!
Thank you
I prayed and god helped me and this video as well god is good made it turn on and I was panicking haha God bless you guys! And good luck 🙏
