Step 1: Remove the screen
First, remove the strap and turn off the watch. Use alcohol to soften the screen glue and remove the cover glass with tweezers. Then remove the screen with a blade. Because the flex cable inside is fixed with glue, we need use alcohol to soften the glue to make it easier to remove. Next, use alcohol to soften the glue on the cover and remove the small pieces of front glass.
Step 2: Separate the front glass and LCD
We need paste OCA glue on the surface of the front glass to prevent the broken glass from scratching the LCD during the separation process. After this, put it into the separator to separate the front glass from the LCD. When the separation is completed, remove the residual OCA glue. After cleaning, test whether the LCD function and display are normal.
Step 3: Install the new front glass
Take a new front glass (with OCA glue), and install it with the LCD. Then put it into the laminating machine for lamination. After the lamination is completed, put it into the vacuum machine for vacuum treatment.
Step 4: Test the screen function
After vacuum treatment, test whether the screen is normal. If the screen function is normal, clean the residual glue around the watch case and apply new fixing glue. Finally, use a clamp to hold the pressure and fix it. The Apple Watch front glass replacement is completed.
