Thank you for making a video that shows how to do this without being discouraging or saying it is impossible. Really does not look that bad, provided one has a bit of patience.
Best video so for removing and re-installing screen cables. Much harder than it looks! took me 2 hours most recently and several failed attempts over 1/2 a year. The screen kept popping off after a few days so I bought a 10 pack of adhesives. You'll likely notice the adhesive is slightly smaller so doesn't perfectly cover the corners. Another thing is you need 2 adhesives: 1) watch body to force touch gasket and another to bond the screen to the gasket. You probably need to replace both gaskets at once otherwise the older one will fail. In the end, I have lost all confidence in my watch being water proof lol. Another unexpected observation is that the blackness of the glass can be scratched off from the inside, leaving clear glass, so don't scratch it while cleaning adhesive! To replace the adhesive under the force touch gasket you will need to unplug the force touch gasket connector (which is next to the batter connector), otherwise it will be logistically impossible to do.
I’ve found that buying a parts watch is best. You can get a locked device pretty cheap, cheaper than a new aftermarket screen. This way you will have an original Apple part.
Not sure where he got his parts from but a good place to get a screen is if you go on like eBay or sometning and buy the same model watch you have (example. Series 3 42mm gps+LTE) that is for parts or not working make sure the screen is in good condition and if it is you can remove it and use it for way cheaper. Option two is buying a brand new screen for your watch which will cost around 100-150$ depending on what watch you have. The most reputable company I’ve found is Ifixit.com they have just about anything you need and even have tool kits for the watch disassembly. They even have guides on their website and UA-cam tutorial instructions. You might want to consider buying your own adhesive for re-sealing the watch as a lot of these watch adhesive strips are pretty cheap if you decide to do that a good option is E-8000 glue for electronics and jewelry works great, good luck!
There is a small metal bracket that is in a slightly different location on the screen itself, it makes contact with another bracket (in a slightly different location as well on the watch itself). This is the Bluetooth antenna and if no contact is made Bluetooth mag not work.
You can change just the glass as I do all the time. But it is a very involved process, much easier to just buy a good quality used original Apple part from a reputable local eBay seller. Buy the complete assembly....
Hi! I have a problem with my iPad 9.7 2018 : I accidentally dropped it and some parts of the screen are not responding. Do you know the reason of this? I want to send it to a repair center but I live in Romania and I didn't found any repair center.
Hi, this is a random person! I think that you might have internally damaged some screen chips, causing parts of the screen to not work. It’s highly unlikely that this is a touchscreen defect, and replacing a chip is difficult.
Hello, does the digitizer for series 2 programmed by apple? Can the digitizer from non apple supplier use for the apple watch? Thanks in advance for the replies.
I recommend using pre owned screens in mint condition as they are original Apple parts. Here is eBay link: www.ebay.com/itm/For-Apple-Watch-iWatch-Series-3-38mm-42MM-LCD-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Assembly/274129239198?hash=item3fd3603c9e:m:mwvB9zwic7yyvMtqOmOxHgA
How waterproof is watch after this intervention? Second question would be, if there is a small crack, and touch is working, what to use to seal that crack so I might avoid screen change?
Not waterproof using this technique as the all the double sided tape out there does not hold under water. To seal a cracked look into using a LOCA glue, requires uv light to cure. I do have a technique to repair and retain waterproofing, will upload that video shortly.
How much would it be to fix a series 3 screen that’s just cracked? Dropped it last night didn’t notice till now and whole screen is shatter but rest is functional
Sorry, but it’s useless as the price of of the assembled display module is the same as a second hand watch. In case when the LCD is in working condition will be cheaper to replace the glass only. It took me 4 hours without any special instruments and costed me 27 euro
The replacement digitizer is likely faulty, check make sure the flex cables coming from the watch logic board are not cut/damaged in any way. If not then return the screen for a replacement. I try to buy used in very good condition from reputable sellers on eBay
The Fix I’ll explain the whole story! My whole screen lifted completely up one day and the touch screen was still showing me the display apps etc Then I decided to ship it to Apple through a store called Simply Mac to see if it was qualified for a free fix program from Apple and when it was denied and sent back to me,there was no longer any response being shown on my screen at all! I bought a new screen GPS LTE version from eBay and I was hooking it up just like this video and still nothing would show up on the screen that I purchased! Hard reset didn’t work either. I know the watch was on and charged too because it would vibrate and make the “bing” sound when I would sit it on the charger. Now I’m just over it and returning the purchased screen for a full refund to the eBay seller. I wanted to fix my series 3 for cheap and resell it and make a profit from it since I purchased a new series 5. Very disappointing...

Definitely tore my watch up . Since I Started working out I need the watch more that ever now . This video was very helpful . Thanks
I went bowling and a bowling ball just destroyed my watch… I still live with my mom so she was not happy
Do you have a website or location where to find the replacement lcd?
I like the music
How much was the LCD screen? I checked on eBay and people we selling it as much as the watch costs.
A liver or 2 usually.
I saw in ebay for around 30

Your welcome.
Where can I buy the lcd screen at?
Can you post a link for the screen you purchased?

@@TheFixTech what do you mean by getting a locked apple watch.. how do you get that?
Do you still do repairs as well! I have a cracked screen on my Apple Watch 3 GPS only 42 mm.
Are you able to fix mine? How much would it cost?
as much as the watch is worth
Do you have the website link of the items to buy them? Thank you

Is it waterproof after,
No
I will post a video to waterproof it
The Fix gotcha, but why is it not? Not enough adhesive?
All the double sided tape adhesive out there does not bond strong enough to be water tight, look for a liquid adhesive.
Cracked my glass today. Display works only in one corner. Altho no broken pixels. So Should I change just the glass or lcd?
The same thing happened to me today, idk what to do :/
that happened to me today too
@@simplysunnygaming5365 that happen to me 5 min ago I’m so scared what did u do to urs
literally nothing
How is the cellular different?
There is a small metal bracket that is in a slightly different location on the screen itself, it makes contact with another bracket (in a slightly different location as well on the watch itself). This is the Bluetooth antenna and if no contact is made Bluetooth mag not work.
I have the Apple Watch se I can’t find a screen for it will any other ones fit it’s 40mm
I believe the watch series 4 is the same screen
The Fix APPLE WATCH 4 IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SERIES 6!!!
Can I order those ones on ebay/aliexpress and replace? My screen cracked... Some say that you cant change digitizer without lcd
You can change just the glass as I do all the time. But it is a very involved process, much easier to just buy a good quality used original Apple part from a reputable local eBay seller. Buy the complete assembly....
the apple pay still working?
Yes
Thanks for the video! Have you tested the water proof? I am wondering whether the seal was good enough
The double sided tape is not strong enough for waterproof, I will make a new video showing how to waterproof
@@TheFixTech thank you so much! Looking forward to your video!
@@TheFixTech did you make it?
does it work for apple watch se?????
It is similar, I have a video showing series 4 which is same as the se
do most electronic repair stores offer apple watch screen repairs?
Nope
Not sure, parts for these watches are expensive and hard to find. I usually go with used quality apple parts.
@@TheFixTech would you be able to repair it at a apple store
do you have a website to get our watches repaired? How would we contact you
You can send me an email: imuhrez@gmail.com

Not an issue, you can get the gasket with doubled sided adhesive pre installed. Gasket is easy to remove and costs less than $10

Yes force touch will be functional, make sure to get good quality replacement screen. I like to use mint condition used screen from old watches.

If you break your Apple Watch screen you are better off just buying a whole new watch with the prices they sell for
