    • Remove the four 4.2mm screws with a Y00 screwdriver.

    Y0 passte bei mir deutlich besser als Y00

    Alex Fi - Contestar

    Did you use iFixit tools? I just checked and I believe Y00 is correct. Y0 slips too easily. My test was with the Y bits from the Pro Tech Toolkit.

    Nicholas Dudde -

    I too had to use an Y0 screwdriver (from Ifixit 64 bit driver kit....). Y00 just don't grip, may be some batches of the watch used different screws??

    regislefeuvre - Contestar

    One screw just doesn't want to move, any suggestions/tips how to remove it?

    Slartibartfast - Contestar

    Problem solved: after 2 times of careful WD40 application and blunting the Y00 a bit it came of with a lot of patience.

    Slartibartfast -

    I also had a problem with one of the screws and flipping to Y0 worked for that one.

    • This step will ruin the water-proof seal.

    • Wedge the metal spudger in between the back cover and the frame along the seam.

    • Use force to pry the back cover away from the main watch frame.

    • This step requires a lot of force. You can use a Jimmy in place of a metal spudger to make the process easier.

    Il est plus facile et moins domageable pour le joint de commencer par ouvrir le cache de connexion situé à coté de l’axe du bracelet long. On peut alors glisser la broche sans détériorer le joint, qui est plus éloigné du bord à cet endroit.

    Yann Richet - Contestar

    I’m pretty sure the seal is equally far away from the edge on all sides.

    Nicholas Dudde -

    This was the hardest part. I did use thin flat head screw to dismantle it. Using the metal spudger felt like impossible due to its thickness.

    Mariusz - Contestar

    Did using the screwdriver damage the case in any way? I’d recommend being careful using a tool with smaller surface area as that will apply more pressure at the point of entry. As the guide states, a Jimmy may also be used instead of the spudger.

    Nicholas Dudde -

    Anyone know where to buy the replacement gasket after breaking the seal between back cover and watch? Thanks.

    Jyon - Contestar

    Not sure if it's a gasket or some sort of sealant paste/gel. Just took my case off, and the gasket seems intact (fused to back cover of the watch. Quick search for waterproof sealant yielded lots of possibilities - don't know which one to choose. Can anyone with experience provide advice?

    Alan Lawee - Contestar

    most things I have seen online say use an RTV like permatex black sealant. pretty available at like autozone or o'reilly or walmart.

    Steven Betts -

    Ma questa guarnizione impermeabile si puo sostituire ? Come controllare se si è danneggiata? Come evitare che entri acqua dopo averlo aperto ?

    ant.beneduce - Contestar

    La photo montre une ouverture coté bouton mais pire coté car l'ouverture abime quand même le couvercle en plastique sur la face la plus visible : essayer plutôt sur les autres cotés

    stoufbook - Contestar

    Il est préférable d'utiliser, si possible, un outil adapté pour l'ouverture des boîtes de montre.

    Avec précaution, le joint n'est pas trop abîmé. Il est distendu. Possibilité de le couper et de le réajuster correctement.

    Fabrice - Contestar

    I have used a the Jimmy and I didn't need to do any force at all

    Carlos Rafael Ramirez - Contestar

    Que puedo usar para poner en la tapa y cambias el sellado ya que se me arruinó.

    Quiero que vuelva a ser hermético.

    Gracias

    • Detach the three connectors on the motherboard using your fingernail.

    • The connectors are easy to pop off. Minimal force is necessary.

    • Separate the motherboard and front screen assembly using a spudger.

    Oui tuto bien clair. Opération réussi !

    Bien qu’adroit de mes mains, et après avoir découvert la “bête à coeur ouvert”, je ne sais pas si je me serais lancé... C’est tout l’interêt de ce Tuto qui invite à le faire (car pas trop de détails), et qui suivit pas à pas permet de s’en sortir. Bravo

    Merci Dan.S

    Better replace the 2 bolts from next step first.

    Gabriel Pinho - Contestar

    The guide has you remove the screws second because it makes it possible to remove the whole assembly without snapping any cables.

    Nicholas Dudde -

    Ok... Woher bekomme ich die Displayeinheit ???🤷🏻‍♂️

    • Disconnect the battery ribbon cable from bracket.

    • Be careful with the battery ribbon cable and motherboard cable (located on the side opposite the battery cable, highlighted with the orange box), as they are very easy to break (ours did when disassembling).

    • Note how the end of the ribbon cable seats in the plastic chassis. Look for the plastic pin on the chassis when re-seating during re-assembly.

    • Separate the chassis from the motherboard.

    What happens if the battery ribbons breaks?

    sarah rus - Contestar

    Hi the ribbon has come away from the mother board. How do I stick it back on? What type of adhesive do I use?

    Peter Alderson -

    I broke my ribbon :( ordering a new one. How do I stick it on?

    Justin Lalonde -

    I also broke the ribbon for the motherboard. What adhesive should I use to reattach it

    danieljchoe - Contestar

    I'd like to know too please

    Justin Lalonde -

    Be very careful with a ribbon that cannot come off on the opposite side of the red box on the motherboard when preforming this step. I found this and managed to avoid it.

    Andrew Watson - Contestar

    You should first detach/separate the buttons ribbon cable from the side of the plastic casing so you don't tear/break it accidentally. (orange box, the cable is soldered onto the motherboard cannot detach it from there)

    István Szikra - Contestar

    I would advise not to do this like a guide said. Squirt some isopropyl between the pcb and battery to unglue it and carefully nudge it with a plastic spugger. Same with the adhesive that's holding the other end of the ribbon cable.

    • Separate the battery from the motherboard.

    • The battery and the motherboard are secured with adhesive; some force is needed.

    • Lithium-ion batteries are potentially dangerous. Handle with extreme care and do not puncture the battery.

    I just used this guide to do a replacement, the watch works perfect now. Pay attention to whats in your hand vs whats on the guide a couple of the steps are not as straightforward just take your time. Overall good guide though.

    Michael Carlson - Contestar

    Replaced the battery successfully with this guide. Take your time to carefully see whats on the watch compared to the guide.

    I removed the battery ribbon cable in step 7 by using a really small flat screwdriver to lift the cable from the housing. It's attached with adhesive tape.

    Eric Mulder - Contestar

    Perfect. I just remove the two bolts form step 6. Battery was a little difficult to remove due to a tape that attached it on board.

    Works very well.

    Gabriel Pinho - Contestar

    It took an extra tool that isn’t mentioned (very small, thin, straight screw driver), but it took only 20 minutes! Great step by step instructions!

    Walker - Contestar

    J'ai suivi tout le processus, au final la montre charge mais ne s'allume plus.

    • When reassembling, place the battery into the plastic assembly first. Don’t stick it to the adhesive first. This way, it’s easy to position the battery cable.

    • When securing the battery cable, make sure the hole that the peg goes through is round. The hole on your replacement battery’s cable could be malformed. You may want to widen the hole before securing the cable.

    • To widen the hole, use the Pro Tech Toolkit’s SIM tool, a small paperclip or similar fine-tipped tool. The tool can also be used to gently press the battery cable into the correct position. Do this carefully to avoid damage.

    • Follow steps 8-1 in reverse order to reassmble.

    Notez que la montre ne redémarre pas tant que le boitier n’est pas fermé.

    Yann Richet - Contestar

    Formidable demande de l'attention et de la délicatesse a solvé ma montre Frontière.

    Bravo et merci de partager.

    Do you possibly have any suggestions on how to repair the battery cable ribbon once it becomes separated from the mother board?

    • Remove the battery's cable from the chassis using tweezers.

Conclusión

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Where can I purchase a motherboard for my Samsung Gears s3. Cant seem to find them

Mel Swint - Contestar

Need motherboard for samsung gears

Mel Swint - Contestar

Hello I was in MRI and my watch was unresponsive. What is the problem?

Shaymaa - Contestar

My button Ribbon on my Mainboard has come detached. It seams like there was some adhesive holding it on so i pressed it together. put it back together but the buttons wont turn the watch on. it is charged. I can’t tell if the Ribbon was soldered on or some adhesive used to make those connections. Any help would be appreciated.

Rollins Gamer - Contestar

I have the have the same issue! I replaced my battery, accidentally removed the power flex ribbon (the one with the power buttons) i bought two replacements, tried both, my watch won’t turn on. It does charge still and the LCD works, just doesn’t turn on. :\

Sal - Contestar

EDIT: Just after posting this comment 10m ago, I took another look at the watch. You need to make sure the power flex ribbon is FLUSHED on the connectors on the board. I used scotch tape to test this theory and my watch turned on no problem. Consider getting circuit board adhesive from your local tech store for a cleaner install.

Sal - Contestar

I also detached my ribbon. What did you guys do to reattach it?

danielhaugland13 - Contestar

I found this : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33051329...

But what about the software? will it be installed in the board? If i buy a mainboard from aliexpress will samsung allow me to update it?
