I just dropped my watch on the tile floor and the screen shattered. I like to try and repair what I can, but I don’t have many of these tools, so I’ve determined it’s time to upgrade my 4 year old series 5. Thanks for showing what it would take.
Good job again my friend. I underestimated the importance of easing the cracked edges away from the body and ended up, damaging the display with lines running through it.
Great job. New subscriber. Also, what would you recommend to remove scratches from iwatch screen due to normal wear and tear. I took the screen protector off of it due to needing a new one but never purchased one (lazy) and stored it for a while and forget about it due to the battery not holding a decent charge but since the update of 10.1 I have decided to give it another chance and have noticed the screen has scratches 😢, thanks in advance.
Thanks for the sub! There are some professional machines that buff out scratches, but the easiest way it to apply a tempered glass that has a liquid adhesive so it fills the scratches giving it the appearance that it’s not scratched. Watch my tempered glass videos
Hey FIXD, can you tell me, what the third flexcable glued to the scren is for? I accidentally broke it, and thought it doesn't connect anywhere, but unfortunately my screen is not showing anything right now... Any clues?
It depends on the model and which third you are referring to. Most watches go (starting from the left) display, touch, then NFC. Hope that helps. They all come as a unit if one gets damaged. The connectors on the other hand that’s another story
Hello. Why don't you remove that brownish sealing rubber that to me looks like a adhesive tape? shouldn't the glue be enough in order to close it back?
It’s a gasket that acts as a shock absorber. If I were to remove it then that would be like taking the suspension off a car. It would still work but you’d feel every bump in the road. The older models had force touch that doubled as this gasket.
Hey,great videos,I see you have a lot of experience refurbishing Apple Watch screens so I have to ask you: what causes the screen to short out or get damaged in a way that the Apple Watches are on bootloop? I refurbished over 100 Apple Watches and with 3 this happened. Didn’t damage it,used 99% ISO alcohol,and somehow the watches are not turning on (Apple logo) with the refurbished screen (with a different screen they turn on) I will be grateful for your answer 👌
I hope I never break my watch again but if I do I am contacting you! Great videos!
Thanks @Dan C, for those that see this comment and need to send theirs in for repair visit my website: www.fixdirepair.com
After watching this video I immediately threw my watch with a broken screen in the trash.
Same. Didn’t even make it to the end of the video
Ship it to me so I can fix it please lol

Just filled out your form for a mail in repair! Looking forward to hearing from you

Those shards will get you every time if your not extremely careful with each one.
Nice repair job! 😻Apple must hate you big time 😆
Here's hoping
can you please share the laminate and debubble machine to where i can purchase? thank you.
Hi what is the glue used you mentioned cold press glue for the screen closure onto the watch towards the end please
How thick is that plastic card u are using? 0.1mm thin enough?
It can be. I use a specific OCA protector sheet that protects the OCA during installation as the plastic I show in the video.
Can you share the hotplate with vacuum information please, looking for one. Thanks

@@FIXDPHONES thanks.
Should we try this at home?
What is the Styrofoam ribbon?
Perfection. Thanks for the share....Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey brother, what camera equipment and tripods do you use to make your content so easy to see for us?
Great Well detailed information
What is the tool your using do you have a link please.
hi I was wondering if I can use a pressure cooker as a homemade autoclave. Would it damage the electronics of the digitizer?
Pressure cookers get hot to produce the pressure and they will exceed the temperatures the displays can withstand so I definitely wouldn’t do it.
Good video what is the name of the adhesive pleas

@@FIXDPHONES I'm talking about the Apple watch 6 44 mm. There's kind of like a third flex. It seems to not have any function at all

What if you don't have a laminator?
Then check out a few of the dozens of other videos I've made showing how without one 👍
Mine is not broken but I can't see anything from it but it shows light

Which one, to adhere the glass to the display or to adhere the whole screen to the watch?
@@FIXDPHONES screen to the watch
@@FIXDPHONES what is the glue u using on display to watch ? thank u for all videos
I just cracked my 4 & you know I was told at I phone repair it’s cheaper to buy a new Apple watch because I did not have Apple care .
Definitely not cheaper than fixing it. Visit my website if you’d like to get it fixed. Fixdirepair.com
Holy moly. How is that worth it, rather than just buying a new one?
Great Name by the way, mines Derek as well. Totally worth it compared to the cost of a new one but I totally understand how daunting it looks.
Dammit and I thought it would be hard to do 🤣🤣🤣🤣really yeah I have all those equipment in my closet dammit thanks anyway
Yeah, I won’t be doing this and I won’t be buying another Apple Watch.
मुझे मेरे स्मार्ट वाॅच डिस्प्ले की काच मईलएगईकक्यआ
Cost of equipment! Why not just buy another watch? No an Apple
Yeah, nah!
My thoughts exactly.
