Apple Watch SE (Second Generation): What is this connector for?

Wed, 20 May 2026 16:26:38 -0700

Following fixit's guide for a battery replacement for Apple's Smart Watch, doing so on my 44mm SE 2 watch worked, mostly. The guide warns about the right side of the watch around the stem to be very careful because of the connections. Well on my 44mm watch those connections are on the bottom. I cut through the bottom left connector; what is its function? The watch still had residual power and would show the time (bottom right) and I could not fully discharge the battery. It was off for 2 weeks before I started to work on it.

Like I mentioned above it's the lower left connector that has a screw holding it down. I think it is a ground point but am not positive. Thanks in advance to anyone who can identify this for me.

Apple Watch Ultra: I got a black spot in my screen

Sun, 17 May 2026 14:47:15 -0700

I have a black spot like I guess water or maybe the color tube going out or something cause it’s got lines at the top of the screen also but maybe it’s been like hit or something. It lets me touch the screen and do everything but I’m curious on how much it would be to get it fixed.

Apple Watch Series 5: Replacement Battery Not Charging - Boot Loop

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 11:21:10 -0700

I installed the new iFixit battery on my wife's Apple Watch Series 5 40mm. It appears that the new battery is completely dead. After placing on the charger, it displays the apple logo for a few seconds, goes completely black then displays the apple logo again. It just keeps looping and never fully boots or shows that it's charging. I replaced with the original battery and it boots fine. What can I do?

Apple Watch Series 1: Do I Need to Use the Adhesive Strip when Replacing Force Touch Sensor?

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 18:16:35 -0700

I am replacing the Touch Force Sensor on my Apple Watch Series 1. The replacement kit included 2 Adhesive Strips in addition to the Sensor. The repair video suggests the Sensor has adhesive on both sides of the sensor gasket and makes no mention of need to also add/use the adhesive strips. Do I need to use these, and if so, how many - none, one, both? Thank you.

Apple Watch - Series 8: Why does the display not work after the new battery and replacement?

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 12:23:30 -0700

Why is it that after replacing the speaker and battery, the watch keeps restarting, but only when it is plugged in to the charger? Could it be that the battery is completely discharged? Or the touch screen does not detect the old battery when you put it back in. I checked the cable and the connection, they are in principle fine.

When replacing the Force Touch Sensor Adhesive Gasket, is it necessary to also replace the tesa adhesive replacement gasket to the touch screen as well? Or is the force touch sensor adhesive gasket is all that is needed to secure the screen to the body of the watch.

After replacing my battery I cannot get the watch to boot. When I press the start button I sometimes get several vibrations. I even got it to play some type of warning signal a few times, but no screen activity. I have checked all connections several times. Any ideas on the problem or what the signals mean?

Apple Watch Ultra: Back glass replacment Ultra 2 to Ultra 1

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 09:06:04 -0700

Hello there,
I would like to ask if it is possible to use back glass (with charging coil) from donor Ultra 2 watch, and install it in Ultra 1.
I am asking because that is exactly what i did try, however the chargers didnt work.
They did work when i swap it back but not after the change.
Is it compatibility issue or perhaps apple did pair this parts with similar ID like face ID and it simply needs to be the same coil?

Thank you in advance for help :)
