Samsung Gear Fit Screen Replacement

Step 1 Watch Band



• Place your thumbs on the ends of the screen.
• Push the watch outward while pulling the band away from the watch.
Step 2 Screen

• Heating the device with a hair dryer may warp the screen or damage the device. It it preferable to use an iOpener for this step.
• For step-by-step instructions on using an iOpener, see the iOpener Instructions.
• Use a hair dryer, heat gun, or an iOpener to heat the Gear Fit for 1-2 minutes until it is hot to the touch.
Step 3
• The screen is connected to the device by a ribbon cable on the left side with the power button facing you. Do not try to completely separate the screen from the device yet, and be careful.
• Gently pry the screen loose using a plastic opening tool.
• If the screen doesn't easily come loose, more heating may be required
Step 4
• Using tweezers as a lever, pry the inner assembly out of the external casing.
• This will be harder than removing the screen. Moderate force may be required.
Step 5
• Disconnect the ribbon cables connecting the screen to the motherboard by lifting their metal connectors up off of the board with tweezers.
Step 6
• Gently peel the screen assembly up and away from the device using tweezers.
