Apple Watch Series 7: Review-iFixit-Fail-Apple Watch (45 mm Series 7) Screen Adhesive

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 11:01:48 -0700

I’m posting this as a community forum review since I couldn’t submit an Ifixit item review for my purchase (iFixit Order EU-XXX-ends on 921 - May 3, 2026) as it did not allow me to to post a review, hence I am posting it on this forum community.

I bought Apple Watch (45 mm) Series 7 screen adhesive. After an extremely thorough cleaning of the metal frame and the screen borders where the factory glue was applied, the adhesive appeared to fit perfectly. I clamped the screen and frame with four clamps for 48 hours, and it seemed fully bonded. However, after about two weeks, the bond started failing on one side and eventually the adhesive let go on roughly half the screen.

I removed the failed adhesive and reattached the display using a black gel adhesive commonly used for phone screen replacements. It has held securely for about one month and two weeks so far.

The adhesive I received was branded Tesa. I chose it thinking it would be a cleaner option, but in the end I had to switch to the messier gel method. I originally selected it because I was also replacing the Series 7 battery, and the battery replacement works great. The screen adhesive, though, did not.

Casio A168WE: Casio A168WE strap clasp problem – keeps loosening over time

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 17:48:45 -0700

Hi,

I have a Casio A168WE watch that I really love, but I keep running into the same issue: after a few months of use, the metal strap clasp doesn’t close properly anymore. It seems to loosen over time and eventually won’t hold securely, which makes wearing the watch risky.

I’ve even bought several identical models to compare, but the same problem happens every time.

I’d like to know:

Can I repair the clasp (tighten it, replace a part, adjust it)?
Or do I need to replace the entire strap?
Is there a long-term fix to stop this from happening again?

Thanks in advance for your advice

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7: Samsung Galaxy Watch7 battery replacement - Is there a guide available?

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 23:06:11 -0700

I am looking for a guide or instructions on how to replace the battery in a Samsung Galaxy Watch7. I've checked for existing guides but haven't found one for this specific model yet.

Has anyone successfully opened this watch and replaced the battery? If so, what tools are required, and are there any specific pitfalls (like hidden cables or fragile sensors) I should be aware of? Any advice or photos of the internals would be greatly appreciated!

I ended up buying a charger clip and promised myself to post the pinout to help anyone who needs to charge it without the clip.

Picked up a FR255 Music as a repair project. Everything works boots, GPS, HR, buttons, touch except the frontlight/backlight won't come on. A repair shop confirmed the fault is a single burned IC and said they can't bypass it. There is no info online to help me figure out which IC it is anyone got any ideas?
