Use this guide to replace a cracked or broken screen on your Samsung Galaxy Watch4.

If the frame is deformed, it's important to replace it to make sure the new screen will mount correctly and won’t suffer damage from uneven pressure.

If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions. For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your Galaxy Watch4 Classic. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.

You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

    • Insert an opening tool into the seam between the back cover and the metal housing.

    • Twist the opening tool to create a gap.

    • Don't try to remove the back cover all the way yet. The sensor flex cable is still connected to the motherboard.

    • Lay the watch face down.

    • Carefully swing open the back cover by folding it to the opposite site of the created gap.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the sensor flex cable from the motherboard.

    • Remove the back cover.

    • Make sure the rubber gasket is undamaged. If damaged, replace it with a new one during reassembly to maintain proper water resistance.

    • Use your fingers to lift the motherboard out from the watch assembly towards the bottom of the watch.

    • During reassembly, make sure none of the flex cables become trapped underneath the motherbaord.

    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the display for two minutes to loosen the adhesive.

    • If your display is cracked, keep glass shards contained by applying a strip of tape over the glass.

    • Use your finger to steadily push the display down through the watch's metal housing to separate the display from the frame.

    • Remove the display.

Conclusie

If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
