Hi, in this video I attempt to fix 3 Apple watches purchased faulty from eBay. One heats up, one is water damaged from swimming and one is locked. All of them are Apple Watch Series 6 and are 40mm.
Will any of them be fixable or will they end up in the parts bin?

Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince.

Amazing work, Vince. I very much doubt I could have soldered those tiny wires, that thing would probably have ended up in the bin! Fantastic perseverance! All the very best for 2024! 🎉

@beavis6363 5 месяцев назад

Just an unsolicited thought. Wrap the exposed edges of your sharp spudger with some electrical tape or at least a couple layers of masking tape. You may also consider stiffening it up by taping it to you stiff spudger leaving 8mm or so exposed to penetrate and pry with. I acknowledge you got it without these thoughts but surely taping up the edges rather than slicing one's fingertips would be preferable. Keep up the great work and being an inspiration.

@MrHumbuck 5 месяцев назад

It’s been a while since I watched your repairs - I didn’t stop liking them, I guess I just ‘had my fill’ after seeing you do so many. I was curious when I saw that you’d attempted to repair an apple watch though, so I decided to have a look, and wow… Amazing work Vince! You made it look so easy, I’m super impressed! Never would have thought a repair like that would even be possible, it gave me a big smile when I saw you actually using the watch after. It’s also nice to see that your commentary is as pleasant to listen to as it always was. Thanks for continuing to share your repairs with us!

@jessicav2031 5 месяцев назад

Your skill at dealing with all these stupid glues and tapes without breaking anything is getting really impressive! I wonder if applying low melt to each pin then low temperature hot air (warm air? 🤔) would be enough to remove those connectors or if they would melt first?

@Mymatevince 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Jessica, maybe it would have worked. Annoyingly there was also a ground solder point under both the left and right hand side near the front of the connector that the soldering iron couldn't reach, so even with low melt on the other accessible solder points I think it would have still struggled to come off.

@ronlevin2339 5 месяцев назад

@@Mymatevince I think it is done by using a heat pad under a screen to 120 C and then gently with a heat gun you remove this connector

Very well done Vince- there’s no way I’d attempt soldering those. I had some success repairing my old series one after I ripped the sacredness sensor - that I’d not seen as I pryed the screen up, replacing the battery. They are fiddly little yokes! Happy new 2024- I’ve only found your channel about 8 months but I’m a fan of you varied work and exploits.

@mrjsv4935 5 месяцев назад

Very nice repairs, interesting to see what's inside these things. It's very inspiring to watch these videos indeed, for example about month ago I decided to try if my 1989 Citizen wrist watch still works, bought a battery for it and noticed the little contact spring between the electronics and the piezo speaker is missing, so made a tiny conductive part from metal staple, and the beep sounds started working :) Digital clock works, but the analogue watch started working after couple of days, stayed in sync with the digital clock about 1,5 weeks, and then started falling behind. I'm guessing mechanically it's ok condition, but perhaps lubrication has become a bit sticky in 34 years :P

Some people just like to criticize. I'm amazed you even tried to solder those tiny, tiny wires, much less succeeded! Even putting on a new connector would have been very difficult, but you did the even more difficult soldering!
