FIXD how much I can fix this
Hey, may I know how do I identify the layer between the glass and digitizer, or the layer between the digitizer and glass? I will be attempting to remove the glass and digitizer together and replacing that as the digitizer is faulty. I’m just afraid that I would leave the digitizer on there, rendering the screen useless then. Also, great job on showing us how to do glass only/ glass+digitizer repairs! Thanks and keep it up!
The background music though
Hi, can I send you my Apple Watch S2 for a digitizer replacement?
Just two things what was the temperature for heat plate and how long you left it there? I would really appreciate it
awesome!
Thanks keep the videos coming 👍👍👍👍
Lovely...! So interesting ! Please what’s a name of a liquid you used on the screen before you putted the touch panel( digitizer)?
you sir are f%%king artist. I was thinking of getting a broken watch and doing this, but never mined.
I appreciate your work and I think your Watch repair videos are the Best on the WWW. I replaced the whole screen on a series 3 gps with a screen from a series 2 and changed the NFC Chip between the screens. Everything is working fine (including ApplePay) except the force touch. I had tested 4 new force touch gaskets and I have no idea what can be the problem. The only thing I know is, that I damaged the sticker which connects the screws at the diagnostic port cover and the screen flex cable. Can it cause this failure? Thanks for your answer!

Hi, I was thinking, Is it possible to separate and replace ONLY the glass without the digitizer on the series 3? I watched some people do this on the series 4 but in all the repair videos about the series 3 they replace the whole glass and digitizer?
How does this glue dry to a rubbery consistency or does it get hard
Did you replaced the force touch sensor too? Couldnt see it.. Could it be better to take glue B7000 instead of the 2. duct tape between the FT-sensor and the glass to get it water proof? Thx
This type of break is covered under Apples recall on apple series 3 watches.

Are the glass and digitizer combined? Like they are one single piece and if I wanted to replace the glass I’d have to replace the digitizer too? Is it easier to replace the digitizer with the glass tall rather than just the top glass?
Hi, I have watch series 2 cracked glass ,touch not working. Are apple watch series 2 and 3 digitizers same 42mm? Also can I check iCloud lock status before I buy digitizer? Thanks .

Hi, I was doing the replacement. The screen worked fine after removal of the cracked screen. Even the digitiser was working perfectly. But later after putting the new screen with the new digitiser, it didn’t turned on anymore. I forgot to remove the battery line. Is the screen blown because of that ??
