Ok, you have to click on “download” at the upper side first. Then connect the watch to your PC.

Ok, I tried another usb port and I got the watch in the Flash tool, tried Firmware upgrade and it went ok. But still it is a brick, no recharge, solid black screen … 
Hmm, I’m wondering if the new cable is brocken. Can you check the cable? The outer contacts are + and -.
This had which version of firmware on it?
Before you flashed it?
It was original firmware, don’t know which one …
I tried the voltage meter and it is ok, 5.16V, plus goes to up and minus down in the clock.
But the cable is upside down compared to original cable, chord goes downwards now …
br, Kari
Problem solved!
I opened those screws on backside carefully and found the problem. The battery cable is totally loose!
Has anyone a picture, where to connect battery + chord in the clock and the backside - chord?

I figured it out I think.I put the battery cable for right place, now I did get it recharge!
But, there is a black stripe coming from the backcover (vbus something), but I can’t see where to put this. I think it is coming from the sensor on the back cover … If it is just that, I don’t mind, I don’t need it. But now I let it recharge and hope it will boot ok … If it boots ok, then I put the screws back and hope other functions are ok…

You can laugh - but we have actually had people who would do this kind of thing…lol
One guy was so obsessed with the possibility of a little bit of plastic film that might be on his camera - he actually took a sharp knife to it and completely destroyed his Genesis watch

That is a placeholder connector for the intended but never implemented wireless charging coil.

So, I can leave it just like that? BTW: Now the watch rebooted ok, sim is ok, wlan ok, BT ok, and I installed the earlier applications, looks good. I’ll have to test it more. I didn’t get wii watch to connect to watch anymore from phone, but thats not so critical …

It should be fine.
As already mentioned, don’t bother with Wiiwear or WiiWatch app.
Check out this thread and try Watch Droid instead.
