Step 3
Hold your horses! Don’t go yanking off that back cover just yet. The sensor flex cable is still cozy with the motherboard.
– Slide an opening tool into the little gap between the back cover and the shiny metal frame.
– Give that tool a twist to loosen the gasket and open up a nice little space.
Step 4
– Gently place the watch face down on a soft surface.
– Carefully open the back cover at the little gap you’ve just made.
– Grab a spudger and gently pry the sensor flex cable away from the motherboard by lifting the press connector straight up from its socket.
– Now’s a great time to power on your device and check your handiwork before sealing it back up!
