Steps: 4 Steps

Ready to give your ASUS ZenWatch a fresh start? This straightforward guide will help you swap out that tired or dead battery and get your watch ticking again!

Step 1

– On the strap, you’ll find a handy little knob. Give that knob a gentle slide towards the other side of the strap to loosen up the spring bar tension, and voilà—you can easily pull the strap out!

Step 2

Keep your components organized and secure with the magnetic pad! It’s a handy little helper that makes sure nothing goes missing during your repair adventure.

– Grab your trusty T5 Torx driver and wiggle it to remove those four screws holding the case in place.

– With a little gentle pressure from your hands, the case should pop right off, like opening a well-loved book.

Step 3

Be gentle when peeling away the fabric. Applying too much pressure could lead to some not-so-fun contact issues with the metal tweezers.

– With your trusty tweezers in hand, carefully peel away the fabric that’s cozily shielding the battery connection.

– Grab that heavy-duty spudger and with gentle finesse, nudge the contact upwards towards the top of the case.

Step 4

– Carefully nudge the battery upwards using those nifty plastic pry tools.

Samsung Galaxy A03S Screen Replacement Tutorial

Posted on July 11, 2025August 8, 2025 by Ralph Harris

Duration: 45 minutes

Steps: 14 Steps

Heads up!

If your screen doesn’t come with the frame all set, this process might not be your best bet. Keep that in mind!

Just a little reminder:

And one more thing:

Use this guide to swap out a cracked or broken screen on a US version Samsung A03s. We’ll be using a refurbished screen with the frame already installed. Before you dive in, inspect your new screen to see which tiny components are pre-installed. You can skip some steps if you’re using a screen with components already in place. Note: We’ll be transferring parts to a new screen and frame assembly. If your screen doesn’t come with the frame pre-installed, this procedure won’t work. Note: The US version of this phone is a bit different from the international version. You can still follow this guide, but some components might look slightly different. Note: For this repair, we’ll remove the battery and transfer it to the new screen assembly. If your battery is swollen, take the necessary precautions. Before opening your phone, discharge your battery to 25% or lower to avoid any potential hazards. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 1

– Pop out the sim card like a pro! Just grab a sim card tool and gently poke it into the sim card tray hole. You’ve got this!

Step 2

– This back cover is held by plastic clips. Grab your opening tool and gently pop off the plastic cover.

– Be cautious when working near the power button. This button houses a fingerprint sensor connected with a ribbon cable to the back cover. Avoid cutting this cable while removing the back cover. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 3

– There are 2 little plastic notches on the back cover that keep the power button snug and secure. Go ahead and disconnect the power button from the back cover, and you’ll be one step closer to your repair goal!

Step 4

– There are 18 screws holding the camera lens bracket and loudspeaker in place, and guess what? They’re all the same size! Grab your trusty Phillips screwdriver and get ready to remove those 18 screws. Let’s get that camera lens and speaker out!

Denim Jeans Inner Thigh Replacement Tutorial

Posted on July 11, 2025August 8, 2025 by Ralph Harris

Denim Jeans Inner Thigh Replacement: A DIY Repair Guide

Are you tired of throwing away your favorite pair of jeans because of a torn inner thigh? Look no further! This DIY repair guide will show you how to replace the inner thigh of your denim jeans, giving them a new lease on life.

Step 1: Prepare Your Tools and Materials

To start this repair, you will need a few basic tools and materials. These include:

Fabric scissors
Embroidery hoop
Embroidery needle and floss
Denim swatch
New patch of denim

Step 2: Cut Out the Damaged Area

Use the embroidery hoop as a stencil to trace out the damaged area. Then, use fabric scissors to cut along the back panel of the jeans, following the line. Make sure to only cut the back panel, as cutting the front panel will create an unnecessary hole.

Step 3: Create the Patch

Place the cutouts in the denim swatch and trace a larger shape of the cutout. Use fabric scissors to cut out the patches. Then, center the old denim onto the new patch and trace vertical and horizontal lines on denim using a straight edge and some chalk.

Step 4: Attach the Patch

Pin the old denim in place and use an embroidery needle and embroidery floss to add stitches into the patch. Use a Straight Stitch (just up and down sewing) following the vertical and then horizontal lines. Then, use a Whip Stitch to attach the patch, repeating the process a second time.

Step 5: Finish the Repair

Turn the jeans inside out and trim down the patch. Use a straight stitch to tighten up any loose spots. The style is meant to look rustic and DIY, so don’t worry if it’s not perfect.

And that’s it! With these simple steps, you can replace the inner thigh of your denim jeans and give them a new lease on life. Remember to schedule a repair with Salvation Repair if you need any further assistance.

Before you start the repair, make sure your zipper is in the upright position. If one of the zipper sides can be attached back on the tracks without any help, you can skip to Step 3. If not, don’t worry, we’ve got a solution for that too!

Step 2: Use a Flathead Screwdriver to Open the Zipper

Take a flathead screwdriver and place it in between the zipper sides. Twist the screwdriver back and forth while holding the zipper steady. This will allow the zipper side to open wider, making it easier to attach to the zipper tracks.

Step 3: Attach the Zipper to the Tracks

Now that the zipper side is open, attach it to the zipper tracks. Use a hammer to help close the zipper side onto the track. Make sure the zipper is secure on the track by moving it up and down and tugging on it.

Step 4: Repeat the Process for the Other Side

Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for the other side of the zipper. Make sure the tracks are even before hammering down the second side.
