Thank you! Watched a few videos and this one gave the best angles and visuals to complete the repair. Many videos only show disassemble. This shows reassemble as well.

@JC-hl3tn 4 года назад

Thank you. Excellent instructions...just completed replacing the battery.

@djwasel 4 года назад

I have reviewed many videos and finally used this one, its excellent, I managed to replace the battery flawlessly, and also got time to clean up the watch interior 👌 👍

@rodgermurrayjr5042 4 года назад

Great video!!! Most detailed video found to replace S3 Frontier battery. Confident I'll be able to do it with no problem. Thanks, keep up the good work 👍🏾

@repedia-servicelabor8822 4 года назад

Glad to hear that. Thank you!

@TheLordMarshal 2 года назад

Thank goodness for your excellent video, without it the battery replacement would have been impossible. Followed your video and success! Thank you so much

@harshtrivedi8756 4 года назад

just cleaned it using this video. i didn't touch the ball barring much as I was afraid i might lose the spring. So just cleaned everything around it and stuck back the last properly. and now the cradle works smoothly. It was sticky for some reason. it's working fine now. thanks for the tips. (I have galaxy watch 46 mm btw.) similar design.

You don't need heat, the adhesive on the antenna is not that strong. Edit: Best how to I have seen for this watch thus far. Thank you very much sir!

@repedia-servicelabor8822 5 лет назад

Hello, thanks for your feedback, glad to hear that! Yes, you are right, the adhesive is not that strong but heating just a little will make it much easier. It is just a suggestion. Best regards from the REPEDIA team

@giyer2002 4 года назад

Great video. I was able to replace my battery and my motherboard to get my watch back on its feet again. Thanks!

@petermiles7497 Год назад

Where did you get another motherboard from? I looked all around and could not find one so, I had to solder the flex back myself. It took a while. I don't know if it operates the same way but it tells time and most of everything works. I'm just surprised the dam thing is working.

@TheCastLife 4 года назад

Great video! One thing I can critic is maybe zooming in on the watch while you work on it. If anyone looking to do this take your time and set aside at least 1 hour.

@fredericchiasman 3 года назад

Hi, great video. Btw, can I swap the back cover (HRM) with other similar unit ? will it work plug and play ?

@repedia-servicelabor8822 5 лет назад

Hello, sorry, that's very difficult to answer because there could be several reasons for that. Maybe you can ask in a special forum for help. Best regards from the REPEDIA team!

@djblockside 2 года назад

What about the water resistance after opening??

@matralph3419 4 года назад

@glasswalker22 4 года назад

After I replace the battery my bezel ring stopped working. Not sure why. I checked all the connections twice. Any ideas how to fix this?

@c4rl10564rc14 3 года назад

Hi! Thanks a lot for the video, really useful. Unfortunately, while manipulating the device I cut the flat wire that goes out from the battery. My original intention was not replacing the battery, but to clean up the thing to try to fix the power button. Do you think that I should buy a new battery? Or would it be possible to fix it somehow? Thanks in advance and kind regards!

@armenbabayan3602 3 года назад

Good video, but I must add that it is not LCD, it is AMOLED screen.

@repedia-servicelabor8822 5 лет назад

Hello, sorry, I can not understand exactly what you mean by your question. Please give time stamp of the video to clarify it. Thank you!

@cruduskellies 3 года назад

Very helpful video! Mind if I ask what kind of connector the LCD screen has? I haven't been able to find much cohesive information anywhere.

@aleksandarknezevic9132 4 года назад

When the battery is replaced I guess everything has to be configured on the watch as if it was done to the factory settings?

@KonKon-xt1iq 4 месяца назад

Ηello there! Does anybody know if when replacing the motherboard on a Samsung S3 classic, the entire watch needs to be reprogrammed from an authorised service in order to function properly? I was told so and I wonder if I can replace motherboard on my own or do I need to have that process done by Samsung inevitably....? thank you in advance!

@robertbeit5879 3 года назад

It's still not completely disassembled. The physical buttons are still in the case/bezel.

@LuckyFurious 5 лет назад

Does opening the watch removes the ip68 capabillity ???

@repedia-servicelabor8822 5 лет назад

Hello, yes in general, each opening influences the water resistance. It depends on how thoroughly you work. Normally, the dust and splash protection is still present after the repair. But when the watch is completely submerged in water you do not have the same ip68 capability as before. Nobody can guarantee it. Best regards from the REPEDIA team

@Teefs143 4 года назад

My gear s3 is water damage just by washing my hands.the watch was never been opened before.i will never buy samsung smart watch again.

@marialorrainecapili8431 4 года назад

hi my gear s3 spoil the power button, can you help me how to fix it? its still charging but i cant open it already :(

@repedia-servicelabor8822 4 года назад

Hello, I am not sure whether you will find a new power button separately. In the worst case, you have to replace the whole LCD screen because the power button is included in the display. Before doing this, I would suggest opening the device and check all relevant connectors. We wish you much success!

@RobertVecchio 4 года назад

You just breeze through the hardest parts without much explanation. I ended up breaking a button following this video.

@mahrenballs 4 года назад

Yeah I can see how that might happen following this one if all you're doing is replacing the battery. It's not that this one is "wrong" necessarily but after removing the 3 connectors and 2 main board screws they go to straight into removing the LCD (which involves lifting out the entire middle frame that the main board is attached to), which is completely unnecessary if all you want to do is replace the battery because at that point all you have to do is disconnect the battery connector from the main board and then it'll lift up and flip over exposing the battery (you just have to be careful not to rip out the button ribbon which will stay connected to other side of the board). Anyway I can see how following this video could lead someone think they should pry up on the main board after unscrewing it (instead of the middle frame) which could cause them to rip the button ribbon out of the board, and I obviously don't think they're liable or anything but it's why you should always watch several different teardown videos before trying anything especially if you don't have a lot of experience with this kind of stuff. Sorry to hear that though and luckily the button ribbon is pretty cheap at least!

@ericwade7124 5 лет назад

Is it still water resistant after replacing battery yourself?

@repedia-servicelabor8822 5 лет назад

Hello, there is no guarantee for water resistance after replacing the battery. You can use an adhesive for fixing the back cover: stellatech.com/de/samsung-sm-r765-gear-s3-frontier-lte-klebe-folie-f.-back-cover,a,828614.html/ But it also does not ensure that the watch is water resistant because each little mistake in processing will increase the risk of water entering. Best regards from the REPEDIA team

@alejandroespinoza9126 5 лет назад

When I opened mine, I realized that there is no glue, and the lid is pressed together with a rubber gasket, so if you open it carefully and do not damage the gasket it should maintain the protection against water when it is returned to close, my watch kept its IP protection

@muhamedsmriko7668 4 года назад

Water entered my watch. Can it be fixed? The display shows that it is charging.???

@Woozer73 4 года назад

Mine was the same, I had it fixed, so yes you can.

@k3n12ock Год назад

@michael7324 4 года назад

These are specific tools for this kind of work. Each corner are diffrent thicknesses for prying delicate electronics.

@petermiles7497 Год назад

Please explain that when detaching the flex you mean the tape. I broke that silver button off the flex. I broke my freaking watch because your terminology literally or latterly. I see why you use your disclaimer. Explain the importance of the flexer PLEASE!

@petermiles7497 Год назад

I want to complete my comment with a thank you. Even though I found some difficulties along the way. I actually fixed my watch. But I had to incorporate both different repair videos to learn how to solder the flex to the motherboard. But for the most part, I used this video the most to assemble and disassemble the watch. Without this video, I would have lost over 350 bucks trying to replace a battery. Thanks.
