Steps: 5 Steps
Get ready to swap out that worn-out back cover on your Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2! This guide is your go-to for not just the cover replacement, but also for diving into any other repairs your smartwatch might need. Let’s get started and give your watch the TLC it deserves!
Step 1
– Power down your Galaxy Watch Active2 by pressing and holding the bottom button for about 3 seconds. You’ll feel a little buzz letting you know you’re on the right track.
– Once you see the ‘Power off’ symbol, tap the center of the screen to turn it off. A longer vibration will confirm it’s shutting down. You’re almost there!

Step 3
Hold up! Don’t yank that back cover off just yet—there’s a sneaky little cable still tethering it to the motherboard.
– Grab your trusty opening pick and slide it right between the plastic back cover and the metal housing, just by the buttons.
– Gently nudge that opening pick into the gap to help separate the back cover from the housing. You’re doing great!
Step 4
– Gently lift the back cover to reveal the sensor array connector underneath.
– Grab a spudger and carefully disconnect the sensor array from the motherboard.
