Galaxy Watch 4 Classic screen turned Brown while charging

[usertTwhSyz91S]

Hi all, my GWC4 screen just went out on me. Not out, but turned brown and I cannot shut it off to see if it just needed a refresh or a reboot. Any ideas on how to fix this? I also noticed that the sensor lights underneath are not functioning either.

Try to hold both buttons in for a few and see what happens

This could be indicative of some type of hardware damage. When specifically did this first occur?

It was charging at the time.

Thank you for reaching out. I can certainly understand our concern with the watch screen turning brown, and I would be happy to look into this further for you.

The first thing I would recommend would be resetting the watch. This will take the watch back to factory default settings. This also helps to resolve some minor symptoms you may be experiencing. I also would recommend not restoring from backup as it may include something that is causing the green tint on the screen.
