    2:01 "Do not disassemble your device. The water- and dust-resistant features of the device can be damaged."
    Traditional wrist watches that are waterproof have a rubber or silicone O-ring under the back (and/or crystal face) and the crown. When they are put in place, they are rubbed in some silicone lube to reduce friction against the rings while being assembled. When such a watch is opened up, the rings invariably get damaged in some way because the lube would be long gone.
    So the usual practice while being serviced is to replace the rings using the same method as at assembly. You can see this being done in countless videos on YT. Suggest Wristwatch Revival channel or The Nekkid Watchmater channel to understand what I mean.
    With this watch, the back doesn't screw on (although it is screwed down) so there would be no real friction against the waterproof seal. It doesn't even look like the traditional O-ring. However, it might still be a good idea to put some silicone lube along it, in case any part of it is worn. If there is a replacement part for it, it would probably be a good idea to get a new one.
    I would also examine the buttons. They would have to be waterproofed as well. After all, salt water did get in.

    I've literally just repaired that same watch a couple days ago! Disassembly process is a breeze compared to other smartwatches, and internal layout is very sensible. Mine developed a weird touchscreen issue, so I bought a not working unit and swapped all of the components from my watch to a case with display of a dead one, so at least I got my daily watch working fine again. That non-working unit turned out to be water damaged and corrosion got up to button contacts, so I ran a jumper wire from a button to the board, cleaned it and assembled it in the case with bad display. It booted, but touchscreen is still dead on the bottom half. But hey, that's one and a half working units, that's fine by me :3

    Great video Hugh... if only you had done this 3-4 months ago, I would have made sure to be more careful with the power button ribbon cable when attempting to repair my water damaged Samsung Gear S3 Classic! 🤣😂
    Everything was going along fine, after opening it up, I could see where the water damage was, so cleaned it up as best I could, then reconnected everything, however it didn't turn on.
    Decided to buy a new battery (don't have a multimeter), to start with, so when it arrived, I attempted to take out the old one, which I couldn't work out how to do initially, so was a little rough with it, and to my horror, I discovered that the power button ribbon cable had come off! 😭 Fortunately I have a soldering iron... unfortunately, I have never attempted anything of this minute scale, so gave up and bought a second hand Samsung Galaxy Watch (2019) instead.🤣
    I've kept everything though for a rainy day, but might get a new board and screen, if I can find any. Thanks Hugh. 😎

    A word on salt:
    Salt is a highly soluble mineral and will crystallize as soon as it dries up. Salt is also a great conductor of electricity and such must be REMOVED from electronic product.
    This is done by either wicking it away or diluting it away. I saw you do neither.
    On the contrary, you managed to smear it over a greater surface making it much more likely to cause problems in the future.
    That combined with no seal replacements does not sound like a particularly proficient repair to me.

      My old Gen 5 had a broken screen for a year before I replaced it with a gen 6 recently.
      Swam with it in the ocean as well. Hours at a time and it was never a problem. Waves hitting it, diving in a pool, the whole 9 yards. Even with the cracked screen, it kept working even after being abused underwater.
      Really surprised to see the Samsung watch have problems with it. Definitely don't want to form my entire opinion on their watches based on one, but considering the gen 5 and 6 are completely sealed, I'd make a guess they're probably more water resistant.
      Though, as a result, you lose repairability. Hard to say which I prefer.

    Samsung does not accept the warranty if water gets in to watch. But it happens when you swim in the pool very often, the water-resistant is 5 ATM and Samsung let users swim with it in commercials and manual instructions, so this is a problem where Samsung doesn't take responsibility and lies to users. I think is much better to buy a Huawei gt2 for swimming, it is also 5 ATM but I did around 100 km in the water and the watch still works, not like active 2 which stopped working after a few minutes in the pool.

    I read Samsungs website BEFORE I went swimming in a Swimming Pool a few weeks ago. I specifically checked and it said its resistant for pool swimming and should be fine, just dont dive it put it under forced water. I just dipped in and was just swimming around, and then it rebooted..and kept rebooting then switched off...
    I let it dry out, then opened it up and it looked fine inside, no corrosion but a little bit of water still so i wiped it all down with IPA (99.3%) and some cotton buds and let it dry for a day.
    When I tried it again it eventually turned on. It bugged for a bit, but then after like 2 days it stopped charging. It detects that it's on charge however the watch discharges and doesnt take in any new charge.
    I thought maybe it was the battery so got a replacement. I then replaced the battery. It powered on and works perfectly. All the touch, the sensors, and bluetooth/wifi work all fine.
    I tried factory resetting it, but still it wont charge.
    Unfortunately ive had it since 2020 so its out of warranty. Ridiculous that Samsung say yes you can go swimming in it, when light swimming in the pool (not salt water) straight away killed it.
    So I just had to fork out $500 for a new smart watch, thanks Samsung zzz.

      I wondered this as well; found that you can use rubbing alcohol with soft bristle brush to remove. thanks!

      Maybe it's not from Samsung directly.. like how iFixit sells aftermarket S7 displays that look to be from the same manufacturer as the original

    Wonder what the seller wanted for his broken watch, as I thought AUD120 for the display was expensive.
    Great explanatory video.

    Been wondering ever since I watch your videos, why is that an alcohol is safe to use in cleaning parts like motherboard despite being a liquid substance like the water, which causes damage?

    • @anikroyale
      @anikroyale 2 роки тому

      Isopropyl alcohol is non corrosive, and evaporates quickly, and its cleaning properties makes it the best candidate for repairs and cleanings.

    • @RADkate

      alcohol evaporates quickly and is non conductive, you could even use distilled water i guess since water is only dangerous because of the minerals that make it conductive.
      you can totally clean your electronics with water if their not under voltage, its even a preferred method to put old motherboards in the dishwasher to clean capacitor liquid off

      They're security screws they are designed specifically to keep individuals that don't know what they're doing away from the internal components of the device , the repairs are only to be done by a certified repair technician.

    Smartwatches are one of the best things ever made as far as technology goes, I personally wear an Apple Watch series 7 daily and I have a heart condition, on top of needing it for work so I don't need to remove my phone from my pocket to check notifications I just glance at my wrist to see if it's a high priority message or not.
    On top of that my heart rate sometimes drops to a very very low level while I'm sleeping and it can and has woken me up so that I could receive medical attention. It's wonderful to have that functionality as well as the "creature comforts" such as notifications and activity tracking.
    I think I'll stick to my series 7 since it was $850 and unless the series 8 is truly ground breaking as far as design or health features are concerned I'm sure I can avoid the want to upgrade yearly. As I have had every model since the 4 lol
