Garmin vivoactive 3 Screen Replacement

[@marclemcke2676]

Hi there, I have a Vivoactive 3 and the metal cover on the back has come off. There was some kind of silicone underneath. What would you use to reattach the cover so that it is waterproof again? Thanks for your help.

I would use B7000 frame adhesive but can't guarantee it will be waterproof

I used a razor blade. No heat. Came apart no problem.

Excellent

Same. Used a small screwdriver, no heat

What kind of glue did you use?

[@rickstechrepairs]

B7000 frame adhesive

Great vid! 2 questions: A) can you confirm the screen worked (didn't see that here)? and B) do you have any experience with the vivoactive 4 as well? Thanks!

[@rickstechrepairs]

A- Yes it worked B- No I don't

DO NOT APPLY HEAT AFTER CLOSING THE WATCH. DO NOT DO IT!!! I just followed the guide. Everything worked smoothly but by the end he said he put on heat pad by 70 degress for one minute or two and that's exactly what I did but it fucked my display and now I have to buy another part! I think he meant FARENHEIT and not CELSIUS and omfg I cant believe I fucked my watch BUT YOU DONT NEED HEAT TO DRY THE GLUE. JUST CLOSE IT AND WAIT.
