I believe the issue has something to do with the backlight, but I have almost no knowledge of how that works or how I would go about troubleshooting/fixing it. The screen seems to have its full range of color, and the appearance of water under the screen disappeared a few days after I got it back up and running. The dimness varies from practically off to occasional full brightness (these moments are rare and usually fleeting). While dim, none of the software brightness controls have any effect, including the brightening of the screen when leaving ambient mode. I haven't been able to pinpoint anything that causes it to suddenly become bright for a while, but it has happened. For a while it would stay bright until I brought the watch out of ambient mode (by taking it off the charger, tapping the screen, or raising it as if to look at it), at which point it would immediately go dim again - a behavior I found particularly perplexing. However, I haven't seen this happen for a while. The most recent bright moment I had was after running around for a while (which may be a coincidence), and that time it actually started working as it was supposed to. Sadly, my excitement was short lived, as the screen went dim again the next day. I want to say the screen also stayed bright for a while after a cold day, but my memory is a bit foggier on that instance. It might have been a dream. :p I may be forgetting some details, but I'd be happy to answer questions that might help you pinpoint a cause for my problem.

TL;DR: My screen is dim after some water damage, and I would love some tips on troubleshooting and hopefully fixing the issue.

Now my display works fine, force touch works fine, but I cannot get my Apple Pay working. When I double press the power button it shows my credit card and message "Move closer...", but the payment terminal doesn't see my watch. (It was working fine before the screen/force touch replacement)

The question is am I right the force touch gasket is the NFC antenna? Am I missing something? Maybe some wire contact or some additional gasket

My ticwatch pro 3 is still working but in the last week or so I've noticed a big degradation in battery life.

I cannot seem to find any replacement batteries. There are a couple on AliExpress. Both require welding which I am not prepared to do, and one of them is those fake "high capacity" batteries so I refuse to give business to companies that lie about specifications.

There were none at all on eBay (UK).

Any ideas? Can I buy one from mobvoi?

Thanks!

How do I reattach the screen?

The physical replacement went well and I got the watch back together fine (actually easier than I anticipated getting into the watch). When I first put it on the charger (OEM charger and cord by the way) I got what people have termed the “Green Snake of Death”. My amp meter after some initial swings seemed to settle in at around 0.32amps with occasional moments of zeroing out. Even when leaving it on the charger for an extended time I never noticed the watch getting excessively warm. Overall, I assume the battery was charging. After multiple attempts I have not seen the “green snake” anymore and now the battery will at times power to the Apple logo and turn off (never actually power cycling though on it’s own). So basically it appears to be at the same status as before the replacement.

Has anyone been successful getting beyond a similar situation on a consistent basis? I assume that as with the iPhone there is logic involved in the whole charging system and that somewhere an IC on the motherboard, the battery and the charger are not communicating with each other correctly. Any ideas? Thanks.
