Apple Watch SE: AppleWatch SE1 セラミックケース　液晶パネルを外す方法　

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 19:04:59 -0700

AppleWatch SE1 セラミックケースから液晶パネルを外す方法

ケースと液晶パネルとの隙間が無くカッターナイフ等の刃が入りません。

本体は壊れても構いません、液晶が壊れない方法、液晶を別のWatchに使用いたいので、どなたかよい方法が有ったら教えて下さい、お願いします。

How to remove the LCD panel from the ceramiccase of the AppleWatch SE1

There is no gap between the case and the LCD panel, so a blade such as a utility knife cannot fit in.

I don't mind if the main body breaks, but I would like to know if there is a way to avoid breaking the LCD, and I would like to use the LCD on another Watch, so if anyone has a good method please let me know. Thank you.

Apple Watch SE: 画面交換キットで交換作業をしたら映らなくなった

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 23:17:31 -0700

Apple WatchSEセルラーモデルですが、画面割れの為交換キットを購入、ついでにバッテリーも交換しました。

画面をふさぐ前に起動確認したところ、画面が映らなくなってしまいました。iPhoneでBluetooth接続はされてるのが確認出来ます。

買った画面が不良なのか？配線等を気付かないうちに損傷しているのか？

電源が入ってそうな状態でサイドボタン長押しするとバイブレーションも反応してます。

どこがダメなのか？分からないのですが、経験豊富な方で思い当たる事などあれば教えて頂けると幸いです。

Apple Watch SE: Apple Watch タッチセンサー　交換　不具合/Apple Watch Touch Sensor

Sat, 19 Aug 2023 19:44:26 -0700

初めて質問させていただきます。

Apple Watch SEのタッチセンサーを交換しました。中国製のタッチセンサー付きのガラスです。液晶はつかえたので、液晶を外し、そのタッチセンサー付きのガラスに液体紫外線硬化剤を使用して修理しました。

アルミケースや背面を触りながら画面タッチすると操作はできるのですが、画面以外触らず画面のみタッチすると動きません。

この様な症状は何が原因か詳しく知りたいのですが教えていただけますか？

Let me ask you a question first.

I replaced the touch sensor of Apple Watch SE. Glass with touch sensor made in China. I was able to grab the liquid crystal, so I removed the liquid crystal and repaired it using liquid UV hardener on the glass with the touch sensor.

If you touch the screen while touching the aluminum case or the back side, you can operate it, but if you touch only the screen without touching anything other than the screen, it will not work.

I would like to know more about the cause of these symptoms, can you tell me?

Apple Watch Series 5: Replacement Battery Not Charging - Boot Loop

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 11:21:10 -0700

I installed the new iFixit battery on my wife's Apple Watch Series 5 40mm. It appears that the new battery is completely dead. After placing on the charger, it displays the apple logo for a few seconds, goes completely black then displays the apple logo again. It just keeps looping and never fully boots or shows that it's charging. I replaced with the original battery and it boots fine. What can I do?

Apple Watch Series 1: Do I Need to Use the Adhesive Strip when Replacing Force Touch Sensor?

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 18:16:35 -0700

I am replacing the Touch Force Sensor on my Apple Watch Series 1. The replacement kit included 2 Adhesive Strips in addition to the Sensor. The repair video suggests the Sensor has adhesive on both sides of the sensor gasket and makes no mention of need to also add/use the adhesive strips. Do I need to use these, and if so, how many - none, one, both? Thank you.

Apple Watch - Series 8: Why does the display not work after the new battery and replacement?

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 12:23:30 -0700

Why is it that after replacing the speaker and battery, the watch keeps restarting, but only when it is plugged in to the charger? Could it be that the battery is completely discharged? Or the touch screen does not detect the old battery when you put it back in. I checked the cable and the connection, they are in principle fine.

When replacing the Force Touch Sensor Adhesive Gasket, is it necessary to also replace the tesa adhesive replacement gasket to the touch screen as well? Or is the force touch sensor adhesive gasket is all that is needed to secure the screen to the body of the watch.

After replacing my battery I cannot get the watch to boot. When I press the start button I sometimes get several vibrations. I even got it to play some type of warning signal a few times, but no screen activity. I have checked all connections several times. Any ideas on the problem or what the signals mean?

Apple Watch Ultra: Back glass replacment Ultra 2 to Ultra 1

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 09:06:04 -0700

Hello there,
I would like to ask if it is possible to use back glass (with charging coil) from donor Ultra 2 watch, and install it in Ultra 1.
I am asking because that is exactly what i did try, however the chargers didnt work.
They did work when i swap it back but not after the change.
Is it compatibility issue or perhaps apple did pair this parts with similar ID like face ID and it simply needs to be the same coil?

Thank you in advance for help :)

Apple Watch Series 7: Will I be able to repair rear cover adhesive without front assembly?

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 07:19:11 -0700

I found a guide for replacing the rear cover/sensor on the Apple Watch Series 7 that instructed removing the front display and battery for swapping the rear cover. However, I do not need to replace the rear cover. It is still functional. The watch charges in the sensor works, but the gasket and adhesive sealant failed and The gasket is hanging out of the watch body, see the attached picture.

Am I missing something other than the rear cover adhesive for this repair.
Will I be able to do this repair without removing the front display and battery?

Thanks for the help!

Apple Watch - Series 8: How can I Replace the microphone

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:38:47 -0700

Hi,

The microphone on my apple watch has stopped working.
When i try to record something and play it back , i can only hear a hissing noise.
audio output works fine, so i believe the issue is with the mic itself.

Since the warranty has expired, i was thinking about replacing it myself,
