Forerunner 255 frozen after system udpate

My Forerunner 255 is completely frozen after the latest system update. It turned off and now it doesn't turn on no matter the combination of buttons I'm holding. Also tried to turn off the bluetooth of my phone and reboot but nothing. Can someone please help?

Try to connect it to a computer.

Thank you! I tried with a MacBook and also with a Linux laptop but didn't work.

I guess the platform doesn't matter as long as Garmin Express is installed.

Tried again with Garmin Express but seems the computer doesn't find the watch and the screen is still completely black.

I guess only Garmin can bring it back to life, then. You should ask Garmin support to replace your watch.

Does this work? The last part about holding in the power button.
