Sir, if you still have your watch with you, do this. Just saw your post maybe late.... But anyway for all. Remove gently the 4 rubber pads on the screw. You have to OPEN the watch screws with Tri-wing screw driver. Remove back cover & carefully the LCD Cable & the selector ring cable. CAUTION:::: Battery is still attached to the logic board., so be very careful to remove these cables in one jerk & with a plastic tool. Then you will see a BLACK philips screw, remove that too, & with the plastic tool lift up the motherboard from the other side as you will notice the micro button cable attached to this end. What you are doing is a Physical Hardware reset on the whole logic board with no battery power. Lift up the logic board gently & you will see on the other side the battery terminals. Once you see them not connected to the board then leave it aside for at least 10 mins & then re-assemble. Be very careful not to press any buttons at this time as the watch is totally off or if pressed the watch will turn on & accidentally short some components while pressing in the LCD Cable. Press in the LCD Cable & the ring selector cable. Now it time to press both button & DO NOT leave till you see the Samsung Logo & you are all set to re-assemble the back. (DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK)

Try to remove in one snap with a plastic tool or it will short the LCD Backlight. Do it at your own risk & take your time & BE PATIENT !!!!
