In this part of the video, Russ from Joe’s Gaming and Electronics demonstrates how to replace the screen on an SMR 830 watch. He begins by explaining that the entire watch must be disassembled before accessing the screen, as the ribbon cable for the screen is connected at the back of the watch. Using a heat gun, Russ loosens the glue and screws held by Loctite and silicone. He then uses a three-point screwdriver to remove the screws and a flat-headed screwdriver along with a plastic pry tool to work around the watch, loosening and popping out the silicone.
Next, he unhooks the HR sensor and carefully keeps track of the screws, which are crucial for reassembly. After powering off the device to avoid accidental button presses, he disconnects various components including the LCD ribbon, speaker ribbon, depth sensor ribbon, power and back button ribbons, and the mic ribbon. Finally, he pries up the main board, emphasizing caution to prevent damage to any ribbons since they won’t be replacing the battery, which will remain in place.
