If your G-Shock GW-7900 no longer beeps after the battery has been changed.

GA-100 wasnt sounding after battery change. Bent metal tab up (at 6 o'clock position on this model) but still no sound. Pulled the original spring out with tweezers, then re-seated it. Also wiped the speaker-side of the back cover with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Now alarm and hourly signal are working again! Worth noting that the original spring has a tiny piece of the bottom coil sticking out ('tail'). There is a corresponding notch in the watch where the spring drops in. I set the spring in, aligning the spring 'tail' with the notch, then gently rotated the spring counter-clockwise with tweezers about 15°. It seems that the 'tail' is there to hold the spring in its hole when back cover is off, so it doesnt just fall out.

Thanks for mentioning bending the metal tab up. I just tried that on my Casio CA53W that wasn't ringing after I changed the battery again. First time I'd lost the spring but replaced it and it worked then. This time I must have bent that tab down (I was thinking it might reset the clock but I learned you need to use tweezers and a little hole and the back of the battery to do that on this watch (PITA!)) and now it's fine after bending it up.

thank you, I knew about one of the contacts, but didn't realize there was also spring that needed to touch the speaker. You helped me fix my watch

I got a GA100 at a thrift store, replaced the battery and it wouldn't beep. Bent up the prong, flipped the spring over, cleaned the back of the case and she beeps again!! Thank you!

[@juanmanuelfc]

Thank you thank you thank you :)))))) You might have posted your video 5 years ago but you gave my trusty old DW-5600 new sound.

Just knowing I have saved one watch at Christmas gives me a warm feeling. Thanks bro.

[@arian2791]

Thank you so much! You really saved me a lot of trouble and I truly appreciate it. I found two springs in my lighter one long and one short. The short one fitted just right without having to make the hole bigger.

[@elvinbenjamin9640]

Absolutely brilliant. My ga100 was not alarming after I had the battery changed. I just fixed it by watching this. I used the spring from a watch pin also but luckily I only had to cut the sping. Thank you.

[@alfredozamorano16]

[@GottaGeek]

When I went to remove the back it turns out the seller put too big of a battery in there and as I'm unscrewing the back the whole LCD shatters Nearly cried cuz there's no relaxing that watch....😢

[@bradcasper4823]

Despite having the spring and cleaning the contacts, the sound still doesn’t work.

[@ultrainstinctgoku450]

[@ajithrampursad546]

How did u align the spot on the plastic back to drill

[@karl2740]

Thx

[@shubananshubo5662]

Mine has spring but still not sound.

[@musteck]

Mine with the spring still intact, however it just won't beep after battery replacement 😭 Anyone know solution?

[@ryleyando6642]

Thanks dude I almost thrown it out window

[@simonk5843]

Ryley Ando Sweet. Glad it helped.

[@yurivivero6893]

Where u get the another spring?

[@_benk]

Mine has the spring still but there is no sound when I replaced the battery. Are they not contacting?

[@brickwester]

Benedict Raistrick it could be the metal flap on the side. Make sure it’s sticking out just enough to make the contact. I had to reposition mine. Also OP great and informative video!!!
