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 2: Why won’t my watch pair after screen replacement?

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 10:58:27 -0700

I recently replaced my Apple Watch (series 2) broken screen with another genuine screen. My watch paired with my phone before but now it will not. I receive an error saying “pairing failed” when going through the setup. I’ve tried multiple phones and multiple accounts, reset the watch, reset the phone, tried to restore from a backup but still get the same error. The new screen looks good and seems to be working fine. Did I do something wrong?

Apple Watch: What kind of glue to reattach back

Thu, 03 Apr 2025 04:22:49 -0700

My wife's Apple Watch has had the case back come off when she removes it from the charging puck. Apple wants $199 to repair it. We paid $249 new, so I don't consider that to be a reasonable cost. I would like to know what kind of glue would work best to reattach the back.

Apple Watch: The apple logo keeps displaying on apple watch

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 12:41:51 -0700

my apple watch keeps displaying the apple logo. it will continuously display in the same pattern: 7 seconds showing the apple logo, 4 seconds off, 6 seconds showing the apple logo, 14 seconds off, and then repeat. it is like the watch is in a constant boot cycle. i have left it plugged in and on the charger. i have tried a hard reboot and nothing changes. if i just hold the digital crown a red circle with exclamation point appears saying go to apple.com/help. the phone cannot connect to the watch to do a factory reset. is there anyway i can manually reinstall the os?

Apple Watch Series 4: How difficult and expensive to repair the cracked glass screen

Fri, 16 Jun 2023 15:35:42 -0700

I have newly purchased an aluminum AW4, but when I took it off from my wrist it accidentally fell on the hard ground surface facing down, so the glass cover cracked (I didn’t expect it to be so fragile). Apple Store asks me $349 to replace it with a new one, which I think is to expensive (65% of the retail price!). Therefore, I’m begging help on the ifixit.com, hoping to get a guide and quote or just a general idea on how difficult and expensive it is to repair by myself. I am an engineer, and have experience replacing the home button of iPhone 4, so I’m pretty confident about handling small things. But I don’t have any experience in handling the water resistive seal or to use heater to melt the adhesive. It’s not hurry because I can wear it as is since the capacitive touching and Force Touch functionality are both working right now. And also maybe it will take a while until the 44mm replacement screen be available. Any suggestion would help, thanks!

Apple Watch Series 4: Power button is stuck

Wed, 06 Dec 2023 12:24:48 -0700

I have an apple watch series 4 that has the power button stuck pressed in. I had a protector cover on it that I never removed and it may have built up dirt and grime over time. I tried cleaning it around the edge of the button with a toothbrush and some water to no avail. When I connect the watch to the charger the apple icon comes on for a few seconds but then turns off due to the power button being stuck.

I saw on a British site that they have a microphone replacement 'cable' available. Does anyone know whether this assembly includes the actual microphone and if so, when iFixIt may have a part available too? Long story is that I know my microphone is bad. I need it replaced and Apple won't fix it.

Thanks.

Apple Watch Series 1: Apple Watch S1, Still have a boot loop after battery replacement

Sat, 01 Jan 2022 09:37:56 -0700

My S1 stopped working and would only show the apple logo boot loop when on the charger. No signs of life off the charger and no luck with a hard reset. From my research it seemed like a dead battery was the culprit, so I ordered an iFixit kit and did the battery replacement (and force touch sensor replacement since it came in the kit).

Before sticking the screen back on I tried to boot it up. Unfortunately I had the same behavior as before with the boot loop. However, through whatever button pushing and taking it on and off the charger I was able to get the green charging snake to show up...I didn't see that before but I may not have played with it enough to show up.

Anyway, does anyone have advice before I give up on it? Maybe it's just dead. I suppose I could have got a defective battery but that seems unlikely.

Thanks!
