I dropped my watch today from a low hight. The step counter showed a crazy high number and now after restart the accelerometer seems to be dead. No bars when opening the page showing x,y,z. Any idea if it's fixable?

Running infinitime 1.8.0

It went in to a boot loop last night. After a quick charge this morning it seems fine, but still not detecting the accelerometer. On the info screen it’s listed as ???.

I have exactly the same problem (posted in the hardware section)

I unsealed the watch and found an IC sticking to the battery. Likely a production issue.

I got the same. It happened (first crazy count of steps, then dead accelerometer) on the first day. My 10 y/o kid was wearing it and she swears that she didn't drop it or gave it any hard shock...
Should we assume it is not repairable?

maybe it's make sense to open a ticket under support.pine64.org.
