I like that you are showing how to save parts of the screen by removing the glass instead of completely replacing the whole unit. Good step by step instructions.
I ripped out the black liner on the edge ot the watch and it looks like it was connected to the display. are the three connecters the only thing that matters or did i skrew myself over?
Are there any more details on the "aligning the LCD" I've seen a few videos that gloss over this part, what exactly are you looking at to make sure it's square!?
It depends on the model, but uniformity along the edge of the display and the paint on the glass is what can be viewed under a microscope. LOCA gives you time to correct the alignment where using OCA gives you one shot at getting it centered but can be a cleaner process.
Hi can you list your work station for this. I use hot plates and heat guns but the one you have with vacuum is nice could you share the product info please. Also the wire you use for separation . I am new to watch repair and appreciate all the information and advice. Thanks
The digitizer is the touch layer of the display and new replacement digitizers should always be up to date on the software, but that won’t mean that the phone will be up to date with the new digitizer which will mean extra work to get the watch updated so touch will come back. It’s best to avoid all these issues by doing your best to only remove the glass and not to damage the digitizer in the process.

Hi, and thanks for a great video, and good job fixing the screen. I can’t get a hold of the silicone you’re using, can I use any silicone sealant, or are there any specifications I need to look for?
Hi there, why are the $200 option repairs versus $70 options? Is it a case of the screen repair being harder than the glass repair?? Why is there such a difference in price?
Is it possible to replace just the outer glass ? So without replacing the digitiser too ? If not on which apple watches can you replace only the outer glass ?
I've tried to do about 5 watches, series 2 and 3, 2 of them worked, the other 3 have no touch, the cables are all fine and it was done super carefully. is there something going on with new OS on these watches to stop the touch working?
So to glue it down finally did you also replace the force touch sensor? Is hat the main bond between screen and phone or it’s a delayed piece of adhesive?
Hi there.nice video.have an question:how you can check if the force touch works before you glue the touch on the LCD?as i replace one and all was working fine beside the force touch and the force touch sensor is ok.
So i'm new to repairing screens in general, if that black film (don't know what it's called, but the part you slowly got the adhesive off of while rubbing with your finger) comes apart from the LCD panel that lights up can it just be placed on top and still used or is it more intricate than that and if it comes apart you need a whole new LCD. I just attempted to repair one for the first time and it was really loose and just fell off easily, of course, i hadn't watched this video first so it was probably my fault when removing all the broken glass since i didn't use a wire. Thanks! I looked all online and i have yet to find any article that addresses that part of the LCD.
I have exact same phone everybody in my location keeps telling me I need whole screen replaced they keep asking for $150 to $200 it doesn’t make since to repair it I can get new watch series 3 for $200 So question is can I replace just screen my digitizer looks fine thanks
Hola buen video, consulta, tengo un s3 38gps que cambie la pantalla porque estaba quebrada, encendía pero se veia mal, resulta que al colocar la nueva no tira imagen pero si suena el "tíiiin" de cuando uno posiciona el applewatch en la base de carga, según tú, o cualquier persona que sepa, cuál es el problema? saludos!
en la mayoría de los casos, cuando coloca una pantalla nueva y no obtiene una imagen, pero escucha que se enciende, significa que los cables flexibles se dañaron y deberán reemplazarse. tengo muchos videos w mostrando este proceso.
so i purchased all the tools you listed an i am ready to attempt the removal. what temperature did you set your vacuum heat plate. thank for your info i appreciate it...
The series 3 have a fused digitizer to the glass unlike the series 1 and 4 and up where glass is replaceable by itself. The only time glass is an option on the series 2 and 3 is it the digitizer has been replaced prior with an aftermarket digitizer.
Hi friend, very nice job. I have done the same using oca glue, not loca, and after repairing force touch stop working. I think that Apple Watch detects the fake digitizer and force touch stop working. Have you ever had this problem? Thank you, im Andres from Argentina.
Nice job man, just a quick one do you remove the digitizer connector after heating the screen or before? Mine is a bit stuck and I don't want to brake the screen :( Thanks
Hey there what temperature do you set on the suction heat plate to soften the glue between the glass and the old screen? Is there a risk of making it too hot? And how long are you supposed to keep it on there for before you start separating the two? Your videos are brilliant by the way :D
Dor More what this video is showing is how u can replace just the glass. So yeah, u don’t need to replace the entire digitizer unless ur digitizer somehow broke
Great work dude! Your video has convinced me NOT to do the repair myself!
I like that you are showing how to save parts of the screen by removing the glass instead of completely replacing the whole unit. Good step by step instructions.
jerryrig bought me here XD
My device was permeantly unlock by an expert...he"s Hex_hacker09 @!G
Great job, buddy! I hope Zack's video will make you famos! Thunbs up for both of you!
I ripped out the black liner on the edge ot the watch and it looks like it was connected to the display. are the three connecters the only thing that matters or did i skrew myself over?
Great Video. But please could you Link all the tools you are using. Thanks
Where do you find the screen adhesive for around the edge; between new screen pressure ring?
OK--so good to see how this is done--and with this I can clearly say...no way can I do it--thanks for that!
Yup tried it as a last chance but my screen stopped working completely. Is a lot harder than it looks. Might have to get a new one.
I come from Jerry too!
Zack from jerryrigeverything mentioned you.... Well done
Thank you. Adding this to my cell phone hustle.
Are there any more details on the "aligning the LCD" I've seen a few videos that gloss over this part, what exactly are you looking at to make sure it's square!?

I love your dedication to precision i wish you the best of luck ❤️❤️
From where do you recommend buying the new digitizer?
Hi can you list your work station for this. I use hot plates and heat guns but the one you have with vacuum is nice could you share the product info please.
Also the wire you use for separation . I am new to watch repair and appreciate all the information and advice. Thanks
A large rubber eraser and low heat from a hair dryer or heat gun can speed up the glue removal
I think there's a reason his using a heat plate because there's something really sensitive inside
I sent you an email regarding getting my iwatch fixed a couple of hours ago. Thank you
I have small scratches in my Apple Watch series 3 can you repair that, or we need to replace the hole glass, if is yes, please tell me the price, thx
I wish that someday I could be as skilled as you. Epic video! TYSM

Where can I purchase the new screen to repair
Did you use any kind of solvent or anything to clean the screen? And what did you use to re-adhere the screen?

Keep up your great work man 😎👍
I didn’t remove the battery at the start of this process. Will I have done damage to the watch or doesn’t it matter?
Dude, awesome video man thanks for the help I needed a new screen because I got hit by a car I was ok my watch wasn’t
Hi its better replace the digitizer or just the glass? if you carefully remove the broken glass, whats the difference?
The digitizer is the touch layer of the display and new replacement digitizers should always be up to date on the software, but that won’t mean that the phone will be up to date with the new digitizer which will mean extra work to get the watch updated so touch will come back.

Is it possible to replace only glass like you did in series 4 video.
Neranjan Walakulpola I already have 4 videos of the series 4 repairs check them out!
I mean is it possible to do for series 3 only glass replacement without Digitizer
Not on the series 2 and 3. The digitizer is integrated into the glass.
Thank you very much for you kind help. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
I really need this in my Apple Watch series 4, it’s not cracked it just has way too many scratches.
I can fix it, but only by replacing the glass. Visit my website for prices and shipping info

Hi friend, very nice job. I have done the same using oca glue, not loca, and after repairing force touch stop working. I think that Apple Watch detects the fake digitizer and force touch stop working. Have you ever had this problem? Thank you, im Andres from Argentina.
Andres Amoretti it typically means you need to replace the force touch. It doesn’t stop working unless it becomes damaged.
FIXD thanks my friend, im going to try replacing the force touch and i will tell you the results!!!

Hey there what temperature do you set on the suction heat plate to soften the glue between the glass and the old screen? Is there a risk of making it too hot? And how long are you supposed to keep it on there for before you start separating the two? Your videos are brilliant by the way :D
Avid Listener I set me temperature to about 80 degrees Celsius.
75-85 will be fine on most machines
Can I use a pan ????
Does anybody know where to buy the glass??
Amazing work
Gread vid 👍
Hey! Nice job...how essential is the UV light?
its needed because of the type of glue he uses.
Were i il get this glass?
If I ever need an apple product fixed, I am contacting you. Great work dude. I also subscribed to your channel.
Nice job man, whats screwdriver size ?
It’s a Y000 tri wing screwdriver
How long do you let the UV light shine on the watch after you glued it?
BattleRoyaleHighlights normally a couple minutes on each side. It depends on how powerful your uv light is as well.
So, if my screen is cracked, will I have to replace the entire digitizer? or Is there an option to only replace the glass?
Dor More what this video is showing is how u can replace just the glass. So yeah, u don’t need to replace the entire digitizer unless ur digitizer somehow broke
I live in nyc can you repair a series 4 watch glass also.
Mad Minds I can do the series 4 as well. Email me if you are interested at fixdirepair@gmail.com
