DIY Guide to Opening Samsung Galaxy Watch3: Step-by-Step Repair

Duration: 45 minutes

Steps: 4 Steps

Get ready to pop off the back cover of your Samsung Galaxy Watch3! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be on your way to making repairs like a pro. Remember, if you hit a snag, you can always schedule a repair for some extra help!

Step 1

No need to stress about those screws—they’ll hang tight with the back cover.

– First things first, let’s give your watch a little break! Take it off the charger and power it down so we can get started on the fun part.

– Grab your trusty Tri-point Y00 driver and let’s get to work! Unscrew those four screws on the back of the watch like a pro.

Step 2

Hold your horses! Don’t go yanking off that back cover just yet. The sensor flex cable is still cozy with the motherboard.

– Wedge an opening tool between the back cover and the metal housing—like you’re sneaking into a secret compartment.

– Give the tool a little twist to open up the gap. Slow and steady wins the race!

Step 3

– Place the watch face down.

– Gently lift the back cover from the button edge to access the sensor connector.

– Use a spudger’s flat end to pry up and disconnect the sensor flex cable from the motherboard.
