Apple watch screen glue down

An apple watch that needed it screen re-glued down.
This one was nice and simple, sticking back down an OEM display on a Apple watch, i dont know why it was separating but the B5000 Glue sorted it back out

When it breaks away its because the battery is leaking inside the plastic that surrounds it and it balloons out and forces the screen off . Don't just glue it back together. While the screen is off replace the battery then put it back together .

[@rickstechrepairs]

Correct

[@SolaComoLocaMala8]

Thank you for that little detail

[@ForburyLion]

I was told apple may repair it for free if the cause was a battery issue - probably worth checking first. My series 1 got a knock and the screen popped off, maybe there was an underlying battery issue but nothing was found.

[@cynthiaellis7458]

I used a toothpick, Gorilla super glue and a wide hair scrunchie. Let cure overnight. So far so good. Saved $200 + for another refurbished one.

[@rickstechrepairs]

Well Done!

[@ChimereTrielle]

this is so smart! I am going to do the same. Thank you!

any update if it’s still attached ?

Make sure your battery isn't swollen and caused the separation. If so, you will need a new battery before you close it.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I had the same issue with my Apple Watch. The screen was still working perfectly, it just partially came off. Now I was not able to get the exact same one that you mentioned, but I got the E6000 in the craft section at Walmart. After I applied it, I put a box of perfume on top of the watch to keep it in place for a few hours. Excess glue is easy to clean off with alcohol.

[@rickstechrepairs]

Excellent, im not sure of the glue. but im happy to here this has helped you repair your own apple watch :) top job!

[@Yolanda92]

Yes thank you so much!

[@SolaComoLocaMala8]

Hello @Yolanda92 How did the E6000 Glue work out for you? Did it keep the screen in place? I have the same problem with my Fitbit and I have that glue at home left over from a jewelry project.

[@Yolanda92]

@@SolaComoLocaMala8 yes… to this very day… the screen is still in tact. Thanks for asking! 😀😀😀

[@Yolanda92]

@@noej_nim yes it did!

[@ForburyLion]

Same thing happened to my series 1 apple watch, the price apple quoted to repair it was about £20 less than the cost of a newer model so I declined the repair. I'm going to have a go at repairing it myself now I've watched the video as I already have a new series 7. However, if your screen has popped off because the battery has expanded you might be eligible for a free repair with apple.

[@rickstechrepairs]

i find it crazy how its quoted as almost new price..

[@MariaLuisa-qy8fh]

I suggest do not follow this video. If you have this problem you have to replace battery. Check other videos on youtube. Glu doesn't solve the problem.

[@rickstechrepairs]

valid suggestion as to why the screen lifted / cracked in the first place

[@jasongames2882]

for purpose of sharing; my AW6 screen popped off, battery isn’t bloated. gonna have to DIY glue coz Apple repair fee is 3/5 $ of new watch

[@rickstechrepairs]

indeed, apples repair fee on watchs it very high

[@emirbukva5393]

Watching this video and similar instructions elsewhere made me think the display is being glued to the aluminum body. On my watch, when display separated I see an interstitial layer between the body and display: the frame of the force touch sensor. Would I apply the glue to each side of the force touch sensor because it sits between the display and body? It also separated from both the body and display.

[@kari-karislinedancing6146]

Thank you for this question. I too have that gasket and am not sure which side to glue. I see no one replied. Can you please share what you ended up doing to repair it? This video glues. I see others that use an adhesive frame-like strip (which they still don't explain what to do with that middle interstitial layer. Would love your input on all. Thanks!

[@emirbukva5393]

@@kari-karislinedancing6146 I think the video assumed the touch sensor frame stayed glued down to watch frame. I ended up applying the adhesive strip to both sides. That kept the display securely attached but my fix ultimately didn’t work for other reasons (I think I likely damaged connectors or cables in the process). Good luck!

[@kari-karislinedancing6146]

@@emirbukva5393 Thanks so much for your reply and ideas. I think you may be right about the frame layer having stayed down for others and that both the frame and the top each probably need separate gluing. I like the glue idea because it seems I would not have to take my watch apart beforehand and therefore I'd be less likely to damage other parts. I do however worry that if I do glue it and it has other problems that I may not be able to take it apart again. I'm sorry your repair didn't go as planned but hope that if you got a new watch you like it even more 👍🏽 😉

My watch crystal just popped up and Apple want $199 to repair! Will try this! Will any super-type glue work?

[@rickstechrepairs]

you can try but be careful

He's not using super glue. You want to use B5000 or B7000 so that the glue doesn't damage internal components.

[@winddealer1]

Be aware that over time battery expansion may cause this issue. The battery can expand and push the face off the adhesive gasket. Contact Apple regarding any potential battery issues with the series watch you own.

[@SuperShaffner]

This is my question. Can I just glue it or do I need to replace the battery?

[@winddealer1]

@@SuperShaffner From a safety perspective you'd replace the battery. At that point it's becomes an economic, utility or vanity decision.
