Apple Watch Series 3: Water damaged Apple Watch

Sat, 26 Dec 2020 21:04:18 -0700

I went out for a run, took my watch off because it died and I put it in my pants pocket. I washed those pants and now the screen is cracked and has water damage. It will not turn on. I’ve tried everything. Is there any possibility that my watch could be fixed and if so what would it cost? It’s a Series 3 I believe.

Samsung Gear Fit2: Can I fix my cracked screen gear fit pro 2?

Thu, 30 Jul 2020 01:22:06 -0700

Hi everyone !

For cristmas gift I received a Samsung Gear fit pro 2 ( the difference between the pro model is the normal is that it's 50m waterproof).

Unfortunately (I don't know how it even happend) I got my screen cracked ! It's working but I'm quite sure my watch is not waterproof anymore.

I have to question :

- As it's a new model, do you think it's fixable ?

- If yes, does someone know if there is a place where I can get the replacement screen ?

Thanks you so much for your help guys !!

Fitbit Blaze: Could I replace the battery?

Thu, 26 Sep 2019 11:26:24 -0700

My Fitbit Blaze battery only lasts 10-12 hours. Is it possible to change the battery? If so where can I find a replacement battery? I know it uses a 167 mAh Lithium Ion Battery. I'm not having any luck finding one. The battery has never worked right. Fitbit sent me a replacement pebble. I'd still like to attempt to fix this one.

Wed, 14 Aug 2019 15:59:44 -0700

The back of my Apple Watch fell off. It still functions. The heart rate monitor needs to be plugged back in and there needs to be some kind of adhesive or seal to seal down the rear round ceramic piece back onto the watch.

Are there any parts available for this? thanks.

I was looking for the pinout earlier and nobody on the internet had the answer...

I ended up buying a charger clip and promised myself to post the pinout to help anyone who needs to charge it without the clip.

Samsung Gear S3: Anyone having trouble removing the tri-point screws?

Mon, 23 Sep 2024 06:33:36 -0700

I have the Pro Tech Toolkit and have tried using all the tri-points included (Y000, Y00 and Y0), but none seem to be grabbing the screw properly. The tear-down indicate that the Y00 should do the trick, but it seems like the tip is too pointy and is floating above the grooves. Anyone have the same issues or have any tips?

Samsung Gear S2: How to replace glass screen on Samsung Gear S2 Classic watch face?

Sun, 01 Jul 2018 22:19:25 -0700

Glass on Samsung Gear S2 Classic Watch is cracked on edges and has been slowly falling away (There is a screen protector on it that has helped keep it together, but it is slowly falling away in bit). Touchscreen still works perfectly, so the digitizer seems to be fine. I just need to find a way to replace the glass, and did not know how easy or hard it may be. Thanks!

Pebble Time: Battery Replacement for Time Steel? 250mAh

Tue, 01 May 2018 09:44:12 -0700

Hello all,

I am trying to find a source of these batteries:

https://www.ewisetech.com/Library/Batter...

I have used generic 602025 batteries, like this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-7V-250...

But I quickly end up with only 4 days of battery life and random reboots when trying to respond to a text, or when launching apps. Has anyone found a good source for replacement batteries for the Pebble time steel?

Thanks,

My Fitbit iconic has died. It had at least 70% charge. It went over night, and I’ve tried charging it, and forcing a restart. No good. It’s completely lifeless.
