    • Heat an iOpener and apply it on the display for at least two minutes to soften the adhesive underneath.

    • The adhesive of the Fitbit Ionic is very strong. You may need to reheat the iOpener and repeat this procedure several times until the display adhesive gets loose enough.

    Hair dryer on low took about 25 minutes directly blasting on the device, then used the ifixit metal spudger blade with rubber handle in the velcro kit pack

    • Carefully fold the display assembly onto the upper side of the watch.

    • Take care not to pull or bend the cables too much—they are still connected to the mainboard.

    Plutôt que “replier" il vaudrait mieux dire “basculer vers le haut" puis ajouter <en soulevant délicatement la nappe de connection de l'écran qui reste connectée (qui est maintenant libérée) >

    • Use a pair of tweezers to remove the metal shield covering the battery flex cable.

    The pointy tweezers in the ifixit kit are easier to work with the shield than the ones pictured here.

    • Use a pair of tweezers to remove the metal cover.

    Theres a lip on the right side that goes under the frame, and another lip that goes under the nfc antenna where you need to slightly turn the nfc antenna a bit to get the left side of the shield away.

    • Remove the display assembly.

    • If possible, turn on your Fitbit Ionic and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.

    The comment “turn on your Fitbit…” is out of sequence at best - battery is out, etc. However the “Remove the display assembly” is correct.

    When reassembling and prior to gluing the screen, turn the device on with all components attached. Verify screen function, button function, nfc function, and HR monitor function.

Conclusión

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).


Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.


Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

It says in the description that you need replacement adhesive when reassembling, but what adhesive do you mean? Adhesive strips, adhesive glue? In all my searching nobody seems to have a good answer. The best thing I could find was b-7000 glue on amazon, but some people say it is water proof some say it Isn’t waterproof, so I’m not sure what to do. Any advice/feedback would be much appreciated!

Hi JJB, it’s very difficult to seal your watch waterproof after a repair but I can recommend this glue. I hope your repair works! Feel free to share your experience with us when you have finished it.
