– Warm up an iOpener and gently place it on the screen for about two minutes to loosen up that stubborn adhesive. This makes the next step much easier and less frustrating. If you need help along the way, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 5

– Gently slide the iFlex in at a slight downward tilt, easing it between the bottom of the screen and the frame. Take your time—patience is key here. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 6

– Hold the watch’s frame down nice and steady with one hand—show it who’s boss.

– With your other hand, grab the iFlex and bend those edges upward for a little extra oomph.

– Gently pry the screen up just enough so the iFlex can chill out flat underneath it.

– Leave the iFlex parked under the screen for now.

Step 7

– Keep your iFlex nice and flat—this keeps a handy gap between the screen and the frame for your opening pick.

– Slide an opening pick between the screen and the iFlex, like you’re slipping a secret note.

– Gently take out the iFlex. Onward to victory!

Step 8

– Gently slide the opening pick around the bottom left corner and work your way up the left edge. Keep it steady and patient—you’re just loosening the grip of the adhesive. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 9

– Keep gliding your pick along the top edge and around the top right corner, stopping just after you pass the digital crown.

Step 10

– Slide the long side of your opening pick between the screen’s left edge and the frame—like you’re slicing into a giant tech sandwich.

– Give the pick a gentle twist to pop up the screen and break up any stubborn adhesive sticking around.

Step 11

– Let’s get started by pulling the right edge of the screen over the digital crown. Easy does it!

– Next, swing up the left edge of the screen so it’s upright, positioning it to the right of the digital crown. You’re doing great!

– During reassembly, it’s a good idea to plug in your watch and test all functions before sealing it up. Remember to power it back down completely before continuing.

– Take a moment to test your watch and make sure everything is working as expected. If you’re not getting the results you want, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair with Salvation Repair.

Step 13

– Grab your tweezers and gently lift out the battery connector bracket.

– When putting everything back together, make sure the longer part of the bracket covers the battery press connector for a snug fit.

– Gently lever the battery upward with your pick until it lifts its head and says, “Okay, I’m coming.”

– Slide the pick deeper, giving the adhesive the slow-motion breakup it deserves, until the battery is free and ready for its next gig.

Apple Watch – Series 8 Battery Replacement

Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 16 Steps

Time to swap out that tired, dead battery in your Apple Watch Series 8! Keep in mind, the 41mm and 45mm versions have a slightly different battery setup—this guide covers the 45mm model with its black connector and unique silver cover. Before diving in, double-check you’ve got the right replacement battery on hand. If your battery’s looking a little swollen, take extra precautions—safety first! For a safer repair, drain that battery below 25% before you start ripping into your watch. This helps minimize the risk if the battery gets damaged during the process. While this guide is for the cellular/LTE version, the GPS-only version is pretty much the same deal. You’ll also want some replacement adhesive to stick everything back together when you’re done. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 1

– Remove your watch from the charger and turn it off.

Step 2

Step 3

– Grab an iOpener and give the screen a gentle press for about three minutes. This heats things up and helps loosen the adhesive underneath, making your next steps a whole lot easier.

– Then, glide the pick along the short edge of the watch to carefully cut through the adhesive and free the components.

Step 6

– Take your opening pick for a spin around the corner, then glide it down the long side opposite the watch crown—you’re slicing through that adhesive like a pro.

Step 7

– Gently slide the pry tool along the edge, carefully working around the corner and along the short side to loosen the adhesive. Keep it steady and patient—you’re making progress! If you need a hand, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 8

– Glide your opening pick around the corner, heading toward the watch crown, to cut through the last bits of stubborn adhesive. Almost there!

Step 16

– Pop out that battery like a pro.

– Stick the new battery in place using pre-cut adhesive or double-sided tape. Here’s the trick: put the adhesive down in the battery spot where the old sticky stuff was—don’t slap it directly on the battery. Rip off the adhesive liners, press the battery down with confidence, and you’re golden.

– Reusing your old battery? Just use the leftover adhesive to keep it snug when you put it back together.
