This video will come in Handy. Big Like! The only thing is that I wish he would have explained how to put everything back let he did explaining tear it down.

[@Megabean]

That seems a lot easier then I figured it would've been. I know there's a lot of Apple Watches (first generation) on Ebay. Other then the iCloud concern maybe it would be profitable to buy and fix them.

[@wendyllamas4129]

What do i do if I have damaged screen cables? How can i replace them? Or can I ?

[@juliaking9354]

Excellent video, good pace, easy instructions to follow, completed the task in no time, thank you.

[@kylehoffmanmusic]

Is the gasket different on a GPS-only model? I notice on the iFixit site, it specifically says "Apple Watch (38 mm Series 2 & Series 3 Cellular)"

[@johnchiver7951]

Do you know what I might be able to do so it will still be waterproof?

[@rcollinge2418]

Where's Kelsea??

[@judithmacias8929]

Ok

[@cas10peea]

thanks for the insight, i have a quick question: is there any difference between the screen for apple watch series 1 and 2?

Yes

[@jt16omes]

Hey guys how do you make sure that the screen is correctly aligned?

[@ey8002]

The screen it’s the same as nike version?

[@jmumm422]

For the price of parts I’d just get a new watch this is ridiculous

[@daSTARPlayer]

j mumm You're right SMH & that's Exactly what I did. For a few bucks more just upgraded.

[@lucrisdelarosa]

I changed muy Apple Watch series 4 screen and now it Is black and the Watch Is on and getting notification. What couldn't be the problem?

[@hichemdhm]

I would just buy a new watch for that price

[@Th3MadCreator]

Do what I do to get Apple Watch LCD's for cheap. Go to eBay and look for iCloud locked ones. You can usually get them for about $90 if you're lucky.

[@evaneleck2232]

Nick Fletcher you’re u f’ing smart

[@emmabarry7660]

Is the watch still waterproof after this replacement?

[@marcost.7453]

same question

[@kgroth]

Why?

[@hiranmsiqueiradasilva662]

Does this screen make the watch waterproof still?

[@miguelangelodecandido6769]

Metal tweezers? iFixit :D

[@agdarydeandrinua2508]

Hola! Sabes como reparar o cambiar la pantalla rota de un smartwatch michael kors ? Por faaaa

[@rishimistry9322]

Will the watch still be functional without replacing the damaged gasket?

[@thebreakerofwalls9036]

Any repair video for the Apple Watch 3 yet? Or is it the same?

[@AdrianRodriguez-ud9dy]

Where can I buy display cables? Mines are damaged!

[@Skuwu-ii3sv]

Does the series 2 38mm also have three connectors or is it just the one?

[@denidj2008]

Skuwu1234 yes it does ^-^ have 3 connectors

[@kylerebman5094]

Hey, was told from customer that their display stopped working after a week ("showed Apple logo, then black"). How would this be possible? The 3 ribbon cables were perfectly in, and straight; even put the sticker back over it.
Any ideas? Although the way the customer explained it, doesn't sound like a display issue; hopefully it's software related.
I didn't use a new gasket; original was in tact still.

[@denidj2008]

Kyle Rebman did you make sure you closed the clips on the top of the ribbon cables? Because if not that’s the problem they are the lock for this cables not to come off

[@yannicg]

There entered water in my applewatch and it doesnt turn on anymore,help,what con i do?

[@yannicg]

(Applewatch Series 2)

[@samb0Ramb0]

£200 for the screen? Haven’t even looked at the cost for the tools or the gasket. Get it replaced at Apple for the same price! What’s the point in this?!
Economically redundant before you even start.

[@bigtwig1953]

U sound like Ian from smosh

[@PerthOreo]

Does it still waterproof? 💦

[@thalapathyrasigan8003]

[@muhasmuhas6550]

Bro spare name please

[@ayoubelyaakoubi9223]

bad, 1 forgot the metal bracket (like me) ,

[@fraysa]

Using a metal razor to open the display, using a pick to pry the cable, calling the display LCD while it’s OLED. iFixit, I find your videos very professional and informative but this one is the opposite. Disappointed!

[@IvanPlayStation4LiFe]

I seen better videos for this screen replacement.
