Xiaomi Mi Band: Not charging at all.

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 11:27:00 -0700

I let my Mi Band go to 0% battery and now it won't charge at all. I see now on the web that I wasn't supposed to let it go to 0% but my instructions came in Chinese so I had no idea. PS I wouldn't buy anything from them again because their customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

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.

Fitbit charge 4: Tiny broken screws, Fitbit Charge 4 band holder

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:42:19 -0700

Hi all,

The band holder broke off my Fitbit Charge 4, along with more than 50% of each screw. Any advice on getting the rest of the screws out? The sleeves around the screws have little nibs on them that prevent them from spinning freely (I tried to squeeze them with pliers but wound up with little nubs I can no longer grab onto). Please see the intact side and the broken side in the attached pictures.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

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?

Fitbit Versa 2: How Do I Reattach The Screen

Mon, 03 Jun 2024 15:50:43 -0700

The touch screen of my Versa 2 popped off because I believe the adhesive gasket that holds the screen to the frame failed. This is the second one, my first one was replaced under warranty and now they want me to pay for a replacement.

Does anyone know of a good place to get a replacement gasket, or if I could use something like automotive grade RTV to stick it back in place? The material looks and feels similar to RTV, but I don’t want to do it wrong and wreck something. I could test it with my original Versa 2 (that was replaced) since FitBit let me keep it.

Can the Fitbit be reset without the OEM charger? I lost the charger and got an after market one, but it doesn't have a reset pin. Is it just a case of shorting the pins? Or is it a matter of applying 5V+ to one of the other pins?

Fitbit Charge HR: Can I replace the wrist band of the charge HR?

Thu, 22 Oct 2020 04:23:16 -0700

One day I left my hr in the car on a hot day in Arizona, I took it off because I was going to go swimming. When I came back to get it, the wrist band started to bubble off the actual device. Later the next week I was getting out of the car and my fitbit hit the door and totally fell apart. Now the actual mechanics of the fitbit was out. The next day I had my dad try and fix it (he does engineering) but all he did was stick some strong waterproofing glue all on it that stuck the pieces together but my dad on the drive to me had it in a place under the sun and it started to bubble again. So here is my question, is there a way to replace the whole wrist band of the fitbit?
