    • Before starting this repair, remove your watch from the charger and let its battery drain completely—the watch should shut down from low battery. A charged lithium‑ion battery may catch fire if damaged.

    • Letting the battery drain completely also prevents accidentally turning your watch back on when gripping it during repair.

    • Throughout the rest of your repair:

    • Attach and remove the watch bands as needed to get a better grip or stabilize your watch.

    • To remove a band, firmly press in the small, oval button on the underside of the watch and slide the band out of its groove.

    • Consider placing your watch on something soft like a clean cloth to help stabilize it and prevent damage.

  3. Apple Watch Series 9 Screen Replacement, Mark your opening picks: stap 3, afbeelding 1 van 3 Apple Watch Series 9 Screen Replacement, Mark your opening picks: stap 3, afbeelding 2 van 3 Apple Watch Series 9 Screen Replacement, Mark your opening picks: stap 3, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • If inserted too far, an opening pick can damage your watch. Follow this step to mark your pick and prevent damage.

    • Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.

    • Alternatively, tape a coin to a pick 3 mm from the tip.

  4. Apple Watch Series 9 Screen Replacement, Heat the screen: stap 4, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Strong adhesive secures the perimeter of the screen to the frame. Heating the screen softens the adhesive, making it easier to separate.

    • Heat an iOpener and lay it on the screen for two minutes to soften its adhesive.

    • Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer or heat gun—but be careful as extreme heat can damage the screen and/or battery.

    • The gap between the screen and frame is extremely small. You'll need a thin tool such as an iFlex to create an initial gap.

    • Don't grip the iFlex or similar metal tools by the edges—they're very sharp. Consider wearing gloves to protect your hands.

    • Insert the iFlex at a downward angle between the bottom edge of the screen and frame.

  6. Apple Watch Series 9 Screen Replacement, Pry up the screen: stap 6, afbeelding 1 van 2 Apple Watch Series 9 Screen Replacement, Pry up the screen: stap 6, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Prying up the screen may take multiple attempts. If you're having trouble, apply more heat and try again.

    • With one hand, push down firmly on the watch's frame to secure it in place.

    • With your free hand, hold the iFlex and push the edges up to make it more rigid.

    • The iFlex should be slightly "U" shaped.

    • Pry up the screen enough for the iFlex to lay flat on its own.

    • The iFlex doesn't need to be inserted far, as it can easily damage the screen cables near the bottom right corner of the watch.

    • Leave the iFlex inserted under the screen.
