Apple Watch Series 1: Purchase Apple Watch (42 mm) LCD Screen and Digitizer?

Tue, 19 Feb 2019 07:47:34 -0700

So i have a series 1, 42mm white apple watch. I bought it with a cracked screen. Now i'm looking to get the screen replaced and i have much practice replacing and fixing iDevices, so i'm comfortable doing this my self. But i cannot find a place to buy the 42mm LCD+Digitizer combo. I looked here on iFixit (my favorite go to website when needing help) but it says "Not for sale". Whats up with this? Does no one make replacements for the 42mm version? its there a legit way i can get a OEM replacement? Or a very good knock off?

Does anybody know where I can buy a new clasp from. Mine broke and apparently it's not covered under warranty as I caught the band on my PC case. Don't want to spend £90 + on the Microsoft service charge.

Pebble: Ability to re-waterproof pebble after opening?

Mon, 20 Oct 2014 15:03:48 -0700

Hi there,

I noticed on your guide you say it's impossible to open the pebble without compromising its waterproofing. Would you say it'd be that much more difficult to re-waterproof the device?

Pebble Time Steel: Can I use the Ifixit Pebble Time guides to repair the Time Steel?

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 01:53:39 -0700

I’ve noticed that their are several repair guides for fixing the Pebble Time but virtually none for the Time Steel. From what I’ve seen the internals look nearly identical. Are the internals similar enough that I can just use the Time guides when repairing a Time Steel?

Apple Watch Series 3: Apple watch stuck in a boot loop

Fri, 04 Aug 2023 01:30:40 -0700

Alright, here's the situation: Couple days ago I've noticed that for some reason the apple watch wasn't connected to my phone which was weird but wasn't the first time it happened to me so I just turned it off. Ever since I tried turning it back on it's been stuck in a boot loop and I've tried everything with no success. Force restart, force restart while on charger, letting it run out of battery and then trying to force restart after it charges and nothing. I'm running out of ideas and have no idea what to do next. Bringing it to apple is not an option for me.

Motorola Moto 360: Should I clean my watch after immersing it in sea water?

Thu, 02 Mar 2017 05:35:22 -0700

Hi!!

Last week I forgot to take off tmy moto 360 when I went to the beach. After a week with a dead watch, I could manage to recover it and I have charged it completely. However, it has some damage, the side button is not working and battery seems to last less time. After 8 hours of light use it has 38% (not too bad). I'm going to give it 2-3 complete charges in order to know the real damage in the battery.

However, I think that I should open the watch in order to remove any salt or oxid. It is not an easy task to open a moto 360 because the rear cover is hardly glued and there is no replacement available on internet in case of cover breaking . What are your opinion guys?

Pebble: What screwdriver do I use? (OG Pebble w/4 screws on back)

Tue, 20 Dec 2016 00:43:48 -0700

I heard it was a Torx. Upon further research I discovered there are different types of Torx. The screws securing the back of the Pebble Classic down do in fact have the pin in the middle of each screw from what I can tell. Can someone point me in the direction of the cheapest possible online source to purchase the correct screwdriver to open up my Pebble?

I RMA-ed it and the replacement is on its way - but they're letting me keep my current one so I'm going to try to fix the screen tearing using the method I saw on YouTube with the shim adding pressure to help ensure a solid connection for the display cable. And if something goes wrong beyond fixing, then I'll just go to a facility to recycle it like Pebble Support told me to. It's the defective one anyway.

Model 301BL, the later version that actually can be opened without completely wrecking it.

I just have to tell myself that it won't be long before I have an Apple Watch Sport. I'm willing to sacrifice battery life for something that will actually work.

Apple Watch Series 4: Did a screen replacement and now I have no WiFi and very bad Bluetooth

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 16:24:17 -0700

So as the title says, I performed a screen replacement on my watch (S4 44mm) and it works but now my WiFi never shows any networks and the Bluetooth connection is extremely poor (watch will disconnect if I have phone in my pocket and watch on wrist on table, it’s that bad).

i was looking around inside and comparing with the tear down to see what I could have damaged or forgotten to put back, and the only thing I noticed that was missing was this:

Then I remembered that when removing the display, that little gold thing popped off and flew across the room so who knows where it is now. Anything I could use to replace it? Since I’m pretty sure that connects with a little metal tab on the screen to provide wireless functions
