Replacement screens don't work - with instructions - GSM-Forum

Hi Together,

I've a big problem regarding the Apple Watch 38mm replacement screens.

I've smashed mine during running and carefully opened the Apple Watch.
I unmounted the screen with the LCD. After that I separated LCD and screen.

Clearing with Isopropanol, ... let the LCD shine like brand new. Take your time it takes a while.

After that (before glueing together with LOCA) I tried to check if LCD and screen works.
Screen works, touchscreen doesn't respond. 2nd replacement screen doesn't work too.

I've read several articles about the replacement-screens which don't work.

Did anyone have this problem before and how can I solve that? Buy I new one or a iCloud-locked one?

Thanks

Hi!

It can't be true that we're the first with this problem.
I'll ask a german dealer this week if he can guarantee that his screens will work.
The Chinese-dealers on eBay didn't make much business so I think they don't have experience.

By the way: I got my money back so the dealer was fair

Crazy...

I've tried one 42mm unit from a German ****-seller which shows the same symptoms. I did't glue it together and tested it before.

All the watches have the newest OS. Maybe it's a compatibility problem.
As I remember someone wrote that Apple has built in a restriction so all other-party units won't work.

I'm asking the German seller about his experience

replace the original IC to the new touch screen and it will be all-right.

chryslerdriver · 07-16-2016, 22:02

Oh wonderful!
Did you already tried that sucessfully?

I'm on a Business-Trip now. Could you please post a Photo of the IC you mean?
Thanks in advance!!!

Question to all regarding double-sided tape:

How do you glue the display-part to the frame-body?

I've used a double-sided tape (European product from Henkel) which holds for some days, but when wearing the watch in the summer, it loses the adhesive and the display-part moves up.

I don't want to use the Loctite Power-Bond because of white "fog" behind the glass...

Any tips are welcome
