Lemfo Dm09 Android Smart Watch: Why my display went black

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 02:32:26 -0700

While charging my display background went black. How to reset to original blue color?

After the purchase, without special settings, watch face background was in nice blue color, text in white color. Now, all of the sudden color is black (text in white color). I prefer the original blue color but I do not know how to set it back to blue. I have tried all the available settings, none of them is related to display color. I also tried reset to factory settings, it did not help. Version of the firmware DM09_V3_C_151013, released 2015.10.13. Please, advise. Thanks, Misha

Garmin Fenix 5: Garmin watch doest charge and power on

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 06:30:54 -0700

Hi everyone!

Got a Fenix 5 plus for around 2.5 years, lately my watch froze twice and turned itself off, and now it is not turning on.

things I tried :

Hard reset (and also when connected), cleaning the charging port, using another charging cable, switching the charger, trying to charge from a computer and nothing worked.

Sometimes when I turn it on it shows the starting logo and then dies.

After that I thought it would be the battery so I got one and replaced it but its still the same.

This is what happens when Im trying to turn it on. The Amps going to around 0.2 and then back to 0.00.

Anyone has an idea what can the problem be? Thanks

During a battery replacement on an Apple Watch Series 7, this small component

detached from the motherboard near the battery connector. Can anyone identify this specific component, and is it strictly necessary for the watch to function, or does it require micro-soldering to reattach?

Apple Watch: My 3rd Party Apple Watch band is stuck

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 06:39:37 -0700

Hi,

I have a third party band that’s stuck on my Original Apple Watch. Apple wants to charge >$200 to remove the band, which is worth far more than the watch at this point. The release button won’t press down with this band on. Is there anywhere in the San Francisco area or via mail that I can get this repaired?

Thanks

There is no visible damage. The only symptom is that the release button barely budged when trying to depress it.

The Watch, aside from the stuck band is in full working order. I would just like to get this band removed so that I can change bands again.
