Hello, the back cover of my watch has pill off then i just fix it with glue. My question is can i still use the water resistant feature of this? Thank you!

[@ispeakthereal]

I have an active 2 and when I try to turn it on there is nothing but green pixels. Then the screen stays black. Do you know what part I would need to fix it?

[@DavidAndrighetti]

My back button won't work anymore on my active2. I took it apart but couldn't see anything that was affecting the back button. Any suggestions?

[@betafi4535]

thanks so much! I really appreciate this

Hi, I have an active 2 watch which doesn't charge anymore. Can you tell me where is the problem and how can i fix it?

[@MiguelPerescorpio1982]

Obrigado! Estava avariado devido à prática de natação, abri e coloquei um secador à distância, está como novo! Muito Obrigado!

Ola. Feliz de ouvir isso! А skillful person can handle any job quickly and well!

Miguel, o meu estava carregando hoje e ficou com a tela toda branca piscando. Como o seu havia ficado? Qual é a chave que se utiliza para abrir o relógio?

[@MiguelPerescorpio1982]

@@Carone2008, o meu estava igual. Eu mandei vir um conjunto de chaves de relógio do Ali express por 12€... Depois fui na aventura, está bom até hoje!

[@Carone2008]

@@MiguelPerescorpio1982 Pelo que vi nesse video, seria uma chve Y00, correto? Ele cita no video a Phillips000, mas não vi ele utilizar ela. Você simplismente abriu o relógio, retirou o cabinho flat que liga um lado do relogio no outro, e jogou secador gelado por um tempo? E ai reconectou o cabinho flat e fechou? Engraçado que está com muita cara de mal contato, porque quando ele quer, ele fica com o display normal, sem uma avaria. Ai eu encosto nele, pego pra mexer ele começa com essa tela branca cheia de linhas horizontais falhando, quase como se fosse uma TV antiga sem sinal. Aparenta ser alguma coisa muito besta.

[@MiguelPerescorpio1982]

@@Carone2008 exactamente, isso é apenas humidade. Só abri, desliguei as fichas, que sinceramente são tão frágeis que pensei que já não montaria o relógio novamente. De seguida liguei o secador de cabelo com uma distância de segurança para não queimar nada. Fiquei um tempinho, montei as fichas frágeis e ele ainda piscou nesse dia uma vez ou outra, mas deve ter sido para secar os pinos das fichas... Depois nunca mais, mas uma coisa é certa, nunca mais levo um relógio destes para a água. A minha mulher ficou com este, eu agora tenho um Samsung classic 4, e também não o tenciono levar pra piscina....

Can u do a video on taking the watch 4 apart? My power button has something sticky in it, need to clean it.

[@luluismo]

is it possible to self repair the touch screen? My watch touch screen suddenly not working but the screen looks completely fine, no crack no bump no swimming with in, i dry it with rice now the top left touch seems to respond a little bit, from your experience is it a water damage issue?

[@blondedip777]

same

[@williams.5781]

My watch started doing the same thing. Then it finally just got stuck in a restarting loop. I bought a replacement board on eBay and works 100% now. NOTE I have NO affiliation with this seller other than buying one motherboard for my SM-R820 Look up 4prdirect on eBay

[@Vrm24com]

Hi, the max you can do is - to clean connectors and PCB from oxidations. It is a tiny, tiny chance to make it works. Touchscreen replacement is quite a difficult task that needs a lot of tools, skills, etc. Also, I didn't see the touch on sell at all. Better to replace the entire part called the display module.

[@aodxxl]

Anyone know where can i get the back cover or adhesvie for the back cover for the galaxy watch active 2? When dissasembling, the adhesive gets destroyed and needs to be replaced. It is not mentioned anywhere

[@JohnyIIOh]

You should be able to use T7000 glue for this. It's electronics glue and has a tat more viscosity than other electronics glue. If applied in a neat ring around the case, it should hold water out. Its color is black.

[@rosemarcarrero6922]

Ideas please? My active watch screen is black. It will vibrate for pairing with my phone. Here's the situation though. My phone sees the watch but when I confirm on phone and try to pair with watch, I can't visibly pair from watch because the screen is black. Any ideas as to what part needs replacing? It can't be the battery bc it's taking a charge. What else can it be?? Thanks

[@lynslee]

Have you tried to reboot the whole watch yet?

The display of the galaxy watch activé 2 SM-R830? can be work in a galaxy watch activé 1 SM-R500??

Replace the battery like that, can it still be used with 5ATM water resistance?

[@masterjack5957]

it can't, there are water resistance issues after changing battery in Korea

[@uygar2580]

My watch screen started touch itself randomly yesterday and today touchscreen not responding totally. Tried factory reset but no luck. Watch working, rebooted succesfully and re-loaded backups itself but still touchscreen not working.

[@noTH9IK]

Have the same issue. I've read some tech related forums and it seems to me that the problem is water that got inside somehow. How did you fix your watch?

[@Bozzak]

My screen is black. I can pair it to my phone and see battery life and all that. I touch the screen and can feel the vibrations, but see nothing on the screen. Using the phone I have updated the software. I try 'rebooting' it pressing g the buttons, but don't see anything appear to say it is rebooting. Anyone have a similar issue and fixed it?

[@GuyNChai]

Try zooming in a bit on the subject. So much screen space is wasted otherwise.

[@Vrm24com]

Okay we will, thank you!

[@kristijan0590]

Can I access the buttons fromm the inside? My power button is stuck and the watch is now on reboot loop

[@DevilPork92ITA]

hi krustijan, after several try, i think ther problem is the same as that u are saying!!! did u fix it ? thanks

[@christiang2454]

What happened to the battery? And how did you separate the two boards?

[@Vrm24com]

Hello, To separate the two boards, you need to unscrew one screw and slide the plastic tabs off that hold the board.

[@kev20122012]

What screw driver

[@lionpaw9118]

Witch I could do this on my galaxy watch 2 and take out that Lazer light. It's irritating

[@jucavera89]

I enjoyed each second, i bought a Galaxy watch active 1, and this turn off and when I charge it it just vibrates once, i guess is the logic, do you know where could I buy one?

[@Vrm24com]

Hi, maybe the reason is in the software or something with the board, without disassembling, checking, inquiring, etc., little can be said. If you are looking for the same watch, there are enough offers in the secondary market. Look at Aliexpres or eBay.

[@nandorpapp2350]

Hello, is it lose its water resistance if I dissasemble???

[@Vrm24com]

Hi, the owner is losing the warranty. Water resistance depends on membrane and back cover conditions. If the membranes are well, just apply new adhesive/glue to the back cover.

Привет! Автор подскажите пожалуйста. У меня фантомные нажатия сенсора, а на мои нажатия сенсор никак не реагирует. Почитал форумы и там пишут что проблема в воде, которая попала внутрь. Стоит ли их разбирать что бы просушить? Гарантия закончилась

[@yoloizaac]

@@Vrm24com do u have any advice?

[@Vrm24com]

Okay, first of all, you don't (after water penetration inside) need to turn the watch on! Second, when anyone (you or a specialist) clean all inside, there is a small chance that everything will work properly and 50/50 that stuff like micro will be damaged by oxidation. Also, if you tried to check the watch, then liquid () + electricity = short circuit on the board.
