Apple Watch Vervanging van de batterij

Stap 1 Schakel de Apple Watch uit



• Haal je horloge van de oplader en schakel je horloge uit, voordat je met enige reparatie start.
• Als je touchscreen kapot is en voorkomt dat je de horloge uit kunt schakelen, kun je deze alternatieve methode gebruiken om 'm alsnog uit te schakelen.

Stap 2 Warm de horloge op

• Bereid een iOpener (of gebruik een föhn of een warmtepistool) en verwarm de bovenkant van de horloge totdat deze net te heet is om comfortabel aan te raken.
• Laat de iOpener gedurende minstens een minuut op de horloge liggen om het scherm volledig te verwarmen en de lijm die het aan de behuizing vasthoudt te verzachten.
• Het kan zijn dat je de iOpener opnieuw moet verwarmen of dat je deze op verschillende plekken moet gebruiken omdat sommige delen sneller afkoelen, om ervoor te zorgen dat het scherm genoeg verwarmt om deze los te maken.

Save yourself some time—use a hair dryer. After multiple efforts with the iOpener, I could not get the screen to pop enough to pry it up. That’s when I grabbed a hair dryer and had it off within minutes.

I heated it up with hair dryer for less then 2min and stick the blade in that was supplied with infix kit and popped right off.

Does heating the screen not run the risk of damaging it like you can with a phone?

Stap 3 Check alle waarschuwingen

Gereedschap gebruikt in deze stap:
Safety Glasses

Koop
• Omdat de opening tussen het scherm en de body van de horloge zo dun is, heb je een scherp mes nodig om de twee van elkaar te scheiden. Lees de volgende waarschuwingen aandachtig door voordat je verdergaat.
• Bescherm je vingers door deze weg te houden van het mes. Als je dit niet genoeg vindt, kun je een zware handschoen aantrekken, zoals een leren of een tuinhandschoen.
• Wees voorzichtig dat je niet te veel ruk gebruikt, aangezien dit ertoe kan leiden dat je mes wegschiet en je zo jezelf of de horloge snijdt.
• Draag oogbescherming. Het mes of het glas kan breken of barsten en ervoor dat er stukjes glas door de lucht vliegen.

In my instance, the problem started with the face/screen popping off because the battery swelled. So I didn’t need to heat the face and pry it off. I did heat it a bit in order to warm the residue adhesive on the edge of the face and the case frame and found it easier to scrap it off gently with the craft blade that came with the $39.21 battery replacement kit. If this is your issue, you can skip the prying up steps.

Same situation as jeb605 - my watch battery swelled and popped the screen off. Fortunately the force touch sensor did not debond from the watch. Thinking about just cleaning the back side of the screen and applying new adhesive. I used an alternate kit that did not come with the force touch sensor.

Stap 4 Wrik het scherm omhoog
• Het gebruik van een rond mes verkleint de kans dat je de behuizing bekrast of het glas breekt. Wrik daarom alleen met het ronde deel van het mes en niet met de punt of het platte deel.
• Plaats het ronde deel van het mes in de opening tussen het glas en de behuizing aan de onderkant van het gezicht van het horloge en druk deze vervolgens recht omlaag in de opening.
• Wees erg voorzichtig en zorg dat je complete controle over het mes behoudt—als de opening ineens verder opent en het mes erin schiet, moet je niet te veel druk zetten om te voorkomen dat je de batterij beschadigt.
• Dit zou de opening verder moeten openen en het glas omhoog moeten duwen, weg van de behuizing.
• Als het glas omhoog is gekomen, kun je het mes lichtjes en rustig kantelen, zodat de opening nog groter wordt.

It is not possible to separate the screen from the casing? I have heated this thing numerous times and the opening is way too small to get any type of blade, knife or other tool in between. Any suggestions???
Paul - 27 jun. 2016 Antwoord
Using a curved blade like the guide recommends, angle the blade straight down between the glass and the edge of the frame, mid-way along the bottom edge of the case. The metal of the case will flex *just a little bit*, allowing you to slowly rotate the blade so the cutting edge is now pointing towards the center of the watch instead of down towards your work surface. You may need to rock the blade back and forth, sort of massaging the curve into the seam between the glass and the metal before it works. And like they mention above, lots of heat. I used the heatpack they sell, put it in my toaster oven on 200. I started at 130, and went up in 20 degree increments until it worked.
Pete - 3 jul. 2016
I've tried everything, heating it up until it's too hot to touch, pressing the knife in the gap straight down, at an angle, nothing seems to work. I've tried using all my arm strength and it still doesn't even enter the gap. Is the iFixit Jimmy not thin enough for the job?
Kenneth - 20 aug. 2017 Antwoord
It’s not. The Jimmy’s a great pry tool, but not a cutting blade and not sharp enough for this particular job. You want a curved razor like the guide suggests.
Jeff Suovanen - 3 sep. 2019
Just to emphasise after quite a struggle - the blade absolutely matters!! I tried about 5 and almost gave up before the last one lifted the glass quite easily. Obviously, you want a thin blade! No, thinner than that!

Apple Watch Ceramic Series 3… Unable to crack open even with curved razor. The tolerances are extremely tight. Does anyone have any tips? Being ceramic, there is no flex at all.
kurt - 20 jan. 2021 Antwoord
I got hung up on this step for over an hour. The key for me was to keep the watch straps on! I initially took them off thinking it would be easier to work with the watch, but I guess just the little pressure I placed on the glass while trying to hold the watch and use the blade was enough to keep it in place. At first I thought I didn’t use enough heat and ended up reheating the iOpener a few times and applying it to the watch over the course of an hour. I put the top strap on, put it back flat on the table and held the watch secure with just the strap. I gave it another go with the blade and the screen instantly popped off. Also, be careful with the force you use on the blade… it seems with adequate heat, you don’t need to use that much (I ended up cutting through the Force Touch sensor and punctured the battery).
phchang - 1 mrt. 2021 Antwoord
I would never use a knife like this to remove the screen. It’s way to wide to get in between the glass and body, without potentially breaking the glass. I use the Ultra Thin iFlex Opening Tool, sold by IFIXIT. Seriously. You won’t wanna use a fat blade like that after you take the iFlex for a test drive.
Donald Fournier - 9 mei 2021 Antwoord
I used the rounded blade provided by iFixIt themselves as part of the Series 1 battery replacement kit and even that was wide enough that it scratched my case while trying to pry the screen up. Also I had to heat the iOpener like 3 or 4 times consecutively at 30s each and leave it on the screen for 5+ minutes before the screen would even budge. Heating for 30 sec and leaving on the screen for 1 minute was not even close to enough.
Happily After Ever - 22 sep. 2021 Antwoord
The display came off nicely after heating the iOpener a couple of times and wiggling the blade a bit. Now i have replaced the battery and the force touch sensor an thought I was ready for a dry run. So I did not peel off the final layer of film so that I can still remove the display. What I see is not good, the display is full of stipes and pixles in many colors. So, did I break the display (e.g. by heat) or does it have to be completely glued to the sensor in order to work?
Jörg - 2 feb. 2022 Antwoord
I got the answer. Unfortunately, I broke the display. A magifying glass revealed that I have scratched the cable where I inserted the blade. Replacing the display and I fixed it!
Jörg - 4 feb. 2022
For anyone who’s having trouble getting the screen separated from the case, try leaving the iopener on the Watch for longer like around 4 or 5 minutes

Hi, I bought the battery replacement kit for my Apple Watch Series 2 in steel. Not having a microwave, I used a hot air gun with a temperature set at 110 degrees celsius and tried to carry out the display opening maneuvers as per your video. The display didn't move, I tried all over the edge but nothing. What am I doing wrong?

• Als je de opening eenmaal genoeg vergroot hebt, steek je de punt van een openingsplectrum onder het glas.
• Schuif je plectrum langs de onderkant om daar de lijm die het scherm aan de behuizing bevestigt, door te snijden.
• Let erop dat je je plectrum niet te ver in de horloge schuift. Ongeveer 3 mm is nodig en bij het dieper plaatsen van je plectrum loop je het risico kabels te beschadigen.

• Rol je plectrum omhoog langs de knopkant van het horloge en blijf rustig duwen om de lijm door te snijden en de opening te vergroten.
• Onthoud dat je je plectrum niet te diep in de opening steekt—wat hierbij kan helpen is het rollen, in plaats van schuiven, van je plectrum.

• Er zijn twee kabels die het scherm aan de binnenkant van het horloge bevestigen, in de buurt van de linker bovenhoek. Wees voorzichtig bij het wrikken zodat je deze kabels niet beschadigt.
• Wrik de rechterkant van het scherm lichtjes omhoog om de resterende lijm los te maken.
• Wrik ook de linkerkant omhoog om de lijm los te krijgen—maar verwijder het scherm nog niet aangezien deze nog steeds vastzit met twee kabels.

• Als je de bovenste laag van de Force Touch sensor in de lijm rondom het scherm kunt zien, betekent het dat de twee lagen van de sensor zijn gescheiden en dat je deze zult moeten vervangen.
• De iFixit-reparatiekits voor je scherm en batterij worden geleverd met een vervangende Force Touch sensor, dus als je een van de kits hebt, hoef je je geen zorgen te maken.
• De bovenste laag van de sensor kan aan de achterkant van het scherm vastzitten—als dit zo is, duw deze dan terug naar beneden en maak deze los.

Hi, thanks for the guide, nice work. I miss a picture of the natural opening of the screen, as the mentioned “Force Touch sensor slides” gets connected from the screen to the main body of the watch by a pair of very thin wires. None of these wires are seen in any of the pictures among this guide, which may lead novices to not pay enough attention to them, broke them accidentally, or not knowing what are them for. Picture on step 13 is absolutely impossible without removing the slides / thin wires of the force touch sensor in advance.

"If you can see the top layer of your Force Touch sensor" - How are we supposed to know whether we can see this or not? If one of your images shows us this then can you please point this out. Also, an image of what it should look like, without the problem would be good.
Just discovered this article you have posted about replacing the Force Touch Sensor. After looking at the article I can now see your first image, above, is showing the separated Force Touch Sensor. Perhaps you should link to it in this article, so people can get a better idea of what it is and what it looks like:

djones - 2 nov. 2022 Antwoord
Same issue as djones I think. My watch was forced apart by an expanding battery and it came apart in such a way that the force touch sensor was still intact, connected to the watch back and still glued to the face. If I had an image showing the two connectors to the force touch sensor along the same side as the cables, I would have better understood and released the force touch sensor from the face before pulling the sensor away from it's connection in the base. Would have saved $20+ on buying a replacement sensor. Thank you for the documented process.

Be VERY careful when moving the display and attached 2 cables. While they are reasonably protected it is easy to over stress these cables, resulting in tearing of the mini ribbon cable attached at the base. Move the screen the absolute minimum required to get to the battery.

• Plaats de horloge op een verhoogd oppervlak, minstens een centimeter hoog—een kleine doos of een dik boek bijvoorbeeld. Dit maakt het mogelijk om het scherm naar beneden te laten hangen en een betere toegang tot de batterij te krijgen.
• Wees voorzichtig dat je het scherm nergens tegenaan stoot of dat je onnodige spanning op de kabels zet terwijl je werkt.

Stap 14
• Gebruik een schaar om een van je openingsplectrums tot ongeveer de breedte van je batterij te knippen. Probeer alle scherpe hoeken weg te halen.
• Steek je gemodificeerde plectrum tussen de rechterkant van de batterij en de behuizing.
• Gebruik een constante, stevige kracht om de batterij langzaam omhoog te duwen en het op deze manier los te maken van de lijm die het aan het systeembord bevestigt.
• Wees voorzichtig dat je de batterij niet vervormt of doorboort.
• Bij de grotere modellen (42 mm) is het mogelijk om het systeembord onder de batterij per ongeluk omhoog te wrikken. Steek je plectrum enkel diep genoeg om onder de batterij te komen, maar niet onder het systeembord.
• Dien, indien nodig, wat hooggeconcentreerde isopropyl alcohol (>90%) toe rondom en onder de batterij om zo de lijm eronder te verzachten.
• Probeer de batterij nog niet te verwijderen aangezien deze nog steeds met het horloge is verbonden.

I tried removing the battery with the prying tool as instructed, but I think it may have slightly damaged the outer black plastic wrapping of the battery. Does this mean the battery is now damaged and needs to be replaced? Or is that just a cover around the battery and it doesn’t matter? I just don’t want any battery chemicals leaking out. Asking before I stick the screen back on the watch, I’ve done all the rest and it seems fine otherwise.
Danae - 16 jun. 2018 Antwoord
Hi Danae, the black plastic is technically just protective, but I would highly recommend replacing the battery. It’s possible there is additional unseen damage, and that plastic helps protect against swelling and normal wear of the battery inside the device.
Sam Goldheart - 18 jun. 2018
I had to use the pry tool instead of the pick as the pick was not moving it. Was careful not to damage the battery but found it much easier to get movement and know exactly where I was prying with the pry tool.
Joey Totherow - 12 feb. 2020 Antwoord
Great tutorial but I’ve run into a problem changing the battery on my 42mm Original Series watch .
Getting the battery off with the pick has proven impossible and I’m about to try using the isopropyl alcohol.
• Can you provide any tips on how best to apply it, how long to give it to take effect, how often to apply etc. ?
• Given how narrow the gap is, also how to ensure nothing gets damaged by the alcohol?
• Is there any inherent risk in using the pry tool as Joey ended up doing?
Thanks for any advice

• Houd de batterij omhoog en uit de weg om de kabelaansluiting van de batterij bloot te leggen.
• Gebruik een plastic openingstool om tegen de onderkant van de behuizing te duwen om de kabelaansluiting van de batterij van de batterijkabel te scheiden.
• Verwijder de batterij uit het horloge.
• Als de batterij zichtbaar is vervormd of beschadigd, moet je deze koste wat het kost vervangen. Voor de beste resultaten kun je de batterij het beste vervangen door een nieuwe als je deze eenmaal verwijderd hebt.

You will find that it is a good precautionary measure to disconnect the battery anytime you are repairing or replacing a screen as a short can occur when reconnecting the screen rendering it useless even if you have the unit turned off.

Great repair guide! You iFixit guys are awesome. Took me about 2 hours but then I am very careful and I replaced the touch sensor at the same time since I had it open anyway. Make sure you have at least 2, and better 3 adhesive gaskets. You need 2 and, well, it’s easy to mess one up while trying to place it.

Is it possible to place a battery in and charge/start the watch without the screen plugged in? I want to check integrity of the battery. I was thinking to put it on charge in a closed clear plastic container without the new screen on to see if the battery is good. I ‘really’ do not want to wait another 20 days for a battery replacement and the battery has no visual punctures, front looks good and the back where the adhesive is (or were, rather) is deflated and slightly ‘knobby’. I do not know if it is damage or just how it generally looks like or maybe it looks like so because of the old adhesive. It is not inflated or abnormally expanded. Anyone who knows about this? I used a hair dryer directly on the watch opened to loosen up the adhesive, is that a no-no?
Philip Bromander - 10 sep. 2019 Antwoord

My watch hasn’t recalibrated with the new battery. Even a couple of weeks later I still get premature low battery - it can take hours for the final 10% to run out after the first 90% only took 9 hours. I left it off the charger for multiple days after installation and yet I could still quickly wake it up by pressing the crown to see the time reported with red numbers, so I don’t think it fully ran out.
Is there a way to force calibration? A Google search didn’t yield anything useful in the first several pages of results.

rmann - 30 mei 2021 Antwoord
Watching various videos and instructions from others, I found that there’s no need to remove the screen if your goal is to only swap out the battery.
It’s meant to make it easier to clean off the old glue and install some double-sided adhesive tape but it was far more simpler to loop the tape around the screen with a pair of tweezers than to try to wrangle with the metal bracket securing the display and digitiser cable connectors.
T-7000 glue can presumably be used in lieu of double-sided adhesive tape but it’s definitely more messier.
Anyway, I was initially quite annoyed about my battery expanding and popping the screen off but very quickly got over it when I realised it was a simple $20 DIY fix. Guess I got lucky this time..
osienna - 15 jun. 2021 Antwoord
I’m just replacing the battery. The screen and eveything is fine. While i’ve done just that and the new battery seems secure and eveything, i don’t know which is the adhesive strip that i’d use to re-secure the watch face back onto the watch itself. I don’t need a sensor because the watch face is fine, i just need the adhesive strip and i’m not seeing anything labelled as such in the kit. Ive got 2 tesa stickers (?) and one 3M sensor thing with a little compotent thingy attached to it. Which is the double sided adhesive that goes around the base of the watch to secure the face to the watch?? I was lucky in that my old swollen battery pushed the face off so replacing the battery was fairly easy. Now i just need to secure the face to the body. Any advice?

Has anyone had this problem and found a solution?
luc poli - 17 apr. 2022 Antwoord
Replaced my Series 1 battery/force sensor. The swelled original battery popped the watch open, so no prying necessary. However, the watch wouldn't work normally afterward, only displaying the "put me on my charger!" image of the charge cord with the disc on the end.
iFixIt was great about sending a replacement... battery, tools, force touch sensor, the whole kit, no charge. Replacement #2 required prying it open, but the force touch sensor stayed put, so I didn't have to replace that the second time. Watch is charging and behaving normally as I calibrate the battery. Can unlock etc.
Be very gentle/careful with the tiny force touch sensor screw. A great comment above says if you lose it, you can put in bit of a pick to press the sensor snug where the screw would hold it. I strongly recommend using a cheap hands-free, head-mounted magnifier w/light for this job. A loop of tape to stick the watch to a surface to hold it still while fiddling with the tiny cable connections was a HUGE help. Take your time!

Replaced my Series 1 battery/force sensor. The swelled original battery popped the watch open, so no prying necessary. However, the watch wouldn't work normally afterward, only displaying the "put me on my charger!" image of the charge cord with the disc on the end.
iFixIt was great about sending a replacement... battery, tools, force touch sensor, the whole kit, no charge. Replacement #2 required prying it open, but the force touch sensor stayed put, so I didn't have to replace that the second time. Watch is charging and behaving normally as I calibrate the battery. Can unlock etc.
Be very gentle/careful with the tiny force touch sensor screw. A great comment above says if you lose it, you can put in bit of a pick to press the sensor snug where the screw would hold it. I strongly recommend using a cheap hands-free, head-mounted magnifier w/light for this job. A loop of tape to stick the watch to a surface to hold it still while fiddling with the tiny cable connections was a HUGE help. Take your time!
