Here are some helpful tips to assist you in completing a safe repair on your device. If you are unsure of something or have any quesions, please feel free to contact us either by phone (0508 IGADGET) or by email

• Always track your screws to avoid putting back in the wrong place and damaging your device. You can draw a picture of your watch and tape the screws to the right places or use a screw mat
• Always power down your device prior to working on it
• Make sure you always unplug the battery before attemping any component removal
• Before removing your battery, discharge the battery to below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire or explode if punctured or damaged
• When attempting to remove the screen, be careful not to push the blade or iFlex tool in too far or too hard, doing so may cause damage to the internal parts. Only 3mm depth is required to cut the adhesive. Draw a mark on your tool to help with depth management.
• Make sure you align and place the gasket the right way up so it clips in correctly on the watch, take note of how the previous force touch was placed
• Make sure all residue is removed and cleaned prior to installing the new adhesive, if not done correctly the screen may seperate from the frame. We recommend cleaning the frame with isopropyl alchohol wipes
