The color e-paper display is all scrambled up after dropping it! oops!

Hi smart nerds!

I like tech, and so do I like my ( just a half year old) Pebble Time Steel.

I dropped it a couple of times and that only added a few scratches on the metal bezel and glass but the last time was serious.

The Color E-Paper display is now all scrambled up. It is hard to explain what I see. Well I see horizontal lines all over my screen.

I contacted Pebble about it multiple times but they said that they couldn't do anything and that they do not offer a replair service or any sort of help. (and I thought Pebble was a good company -.-)

I read things about repairing it myself. I saw a youtube a while ago about repairing it myself but that were old tutorials for the pebble classic and steel version.

So please, tell me what options i have and what I need to have to fix it. It wasn't cheap and I will not just throw it in the garbage.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi Gibus Gang.

Much thanks for your respond. I understand what's wrong now. But how do I open my Time Steel? I couldnt find screws and I'm afraid to do something wrong when trying to ripping it apart. So please, could you tell me how to open it? I do not like to break it.

thanks for all your help,

Best regards,

Joshua Barendse.

Hey, I had the same problem right now and found your post, the panel isn't bad, the connection is just really weak, any huge shock would loosen it. Use this link, they have the same layout as the normal Pebble Time Pebble Time Teardown
