Technological progress brings new and incredibly convenient smart devices to our world. But, like all other electronic devices, they have properties to break and require repair. Teachers of bga center prepared interesting and informative material. In this article we will introduce you to the contents of the device and the maintainability of certain components of the watch.
Before disassembling the Apple Watch, you need to prepare the following tool:
First, you need to remove the watchband.
A button on the watch releases a miniature silver spring that is part of the strap and holds it in place. By pressing the button, the strap can be extended sideways.
Inside the slot under the strap you can see a kind of door. The model number is engraved nearby.
Now we know exactly what model of watch we are dealing with.
For ease of disassembly, put the strap back on the Apple Watch and use a dryer or separator. Heat the display for safe separation from the housing.
Well, then you can already use the pick.
We very carefully raise the display, since you can damage the cable leading to the display and the screen sensor. We use tweezers for this.
Flex cables are located inside the elastic bracket.
This is how it should end up:
Battery of Apple Watch characteristics:
A small effort with a plastic spatula is enough to handle the small amount of glue that holds the battery. Just pick it up from a comfortable edge.
