I always remove my apple sport watch before bed and hook it to charger. The other morning I picked it up to wear it and it would not recognize my password. I repeatedly tried to put in password to my dismay. I hard reset my watch and upon doing so when it finally came on, the bottom third of the screen does not light up. I cannot find anyone in my town that works on these watches and Apple Support won’t speak with me because I do not have insurance on it, and the warranty is up. Any suggestions short of throwing it away?

Are you up to fixing your own watch? If you are you’ve come to the best place to find out how! Take a look at the guides here: Apple Watch - Orginal and if you have one of the newer generation of watch you can leverage the tear downs we have Apple Watch Series 1 & 2 & Apple Series 3 Most likely you’ll need to replace the display.
