Android Central Question

Hello everyone ❤
I own an active 2 watch, recently i forgot to charge it and the watch died overnight. Now after fully charging it, it wont turn on again.
I press the power button but nothing happens.
Keep in mind that the watch was in power saving mode before the battery was depleted.
After trying many times and messing around, i discovered that the power button itself is not working, because when i place it on the charger and press the Back button, the screen turns on and shows the charging percentage, but when i press the power button, the screen doesn't respond (it should show the changing percentage just like the back button)
It chargers just fine and i tried every method of reset and 7 seconds long press on buttons.

What should i do next?

Welcome to Android Central! I moved this to the Watch Active 2 forum for more specific traffic.

It does seem like it's a power button issue since the back button brings up a screen. Only thing I can think of is to try holding the power button down longer. There is a few seconds lag before the watch starts booting up from the "off" state. Maybe try Samsung support for help.
