Ready to roll up your sleeves? This guide walks you through removing the core assembly from your Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2. Don’t sweat it—just follow along step by step, and you’ll have it sorted in no time!
Step 1
– Press and hold the bottom button on your Galaxy Watch Active2 for about 3 seconds. Feel that quick little buzz? That’s your signal that it’s ready.
– When the ‘Power off’ icon pops up, tap right in the middle of the screen to shut it down. Wait for that longer buzz to let you know it’s powered off completely. Nice work!
Step 2
– Grab your Tri-point Y00 screwdriver and carefully unscrew the four 4 mm-long screws from the back of your watch. Take it slow and steady—it’s all about precision here!

Hold up! Don’t yank that back cover off just yet—there’s a sneaky little cable connecting it to the motherboard.

– Gently push that opening pick into the gap to help separate the back cover from the housing. It’s like giving your device a little nudge to say, ‘Hey, let’s get this cover off!’
Step 4
– Gently lift the back cover to reveal the sensor array connector waiting for your attention.
– Grab a spudger and carefully disconnect the sensor array from the motherboard, like a pro!
