My fenix 3 fails to start - hard reset fails to start!

Hey everyone
I dont know where to ask this.
I am developing on my fenix 3 watch, as i build successfully my project/app to my watch i had removed the watch from the usb and then the watch got stuck on the garmin logo!
I tried hard reset pressing on all 4 of the buttons and waiting for a beep, but no beep sounds ,and the garmin logo is disappearing and appears again when i press all buttons.
Can you help me bring my watch alive ?!
Thank you!

    I vaguely remember this happening to me quite a while ago. I'm not sure of the exact sequence that I used to recover but I think that doing a hard reset on the watch while it is connected to the PC via USB was part of the solution. Or maybe I had to do a hard reset disconnected and plug in while it was booting. I was just guessing random combinations and eventually it recovered.

    In my case, the screen would go blank after a hard reset and then boot to a frozen GARMIN logo until I did the plug in thing.
