Hi everyone, welcome to HowFixit. In this video guide,
I'll show you how to replace the battery in Apple Watch Series 2
To disassemble Apple Watch 2, you'll need the following tools:
Screwdriver set with tri-wing 0.8mm screwdriver Tweezers
Plastic tools Adhesive Sticker
Glue - I will use B7000 glue due to its high elasticity,
anti-vibration, and water resistance properties. Screen Disassembly Tool - This tool has a very
thin curved metal blade for opening electronic devices with a screen that is difficult to pry
with a common plastic tool. I think this is a must-have tool for disassembling an Apple
Watch all series because the gap between the screen and the watch body is so thin.
I left links where to buy all the necessary tools in the description.
Before you start, turn off the Apple Watch 2.
Insert the edge of the curved blade into the thin gap between the display and the watch case.
From this position, gradually begin to separate the display.
To avoid damaging internal components, try not to push the blade deep inside the watch.
For a more successful opening of the watch case,
warm up the surface of the display with a regular hair dryer.
Carefully fold the screen to the back.
Remove one screw and disconnect the battery cable.
The Apple Watch 2 battery is glued to the watch body.
Use a plastic tool to pry out the battery. Now you can remove and replace the battery.
The replacement battery part number A1761 for the Apple Watch Series 2 44mm.
In the description, I left a link where to buy the battery for Apple Watch Series 2.
Use double-sided adhesive tape to re-glued the battery to the watch body.
Before gluing the display to the main housing, test the watch and check all functions.
It looks like the watch is working fine, now you can proceed to the final part of the assembly.
Let's move on to gluing the display with the housing, this will restore protection from
water and dust. You can use a special adhesive sticker for your Apple Watch 2 or silicone glue.
In my opinion, for protection against water and dust, glue is more effective.
To fix the display and the main housing, you can use clips or rubber bands.
The B7000 glue dries completely after 24 hours, but the minimum surface drying time
is 6 minutes. So, I recommend waiting at least 45 minutes, after which you can remove excess glue.
This repair is complete, you were on HowFixit, and see you next time!
