Inleiding

Gebruik deze handleiding om de kleefstrip van je Apple Watch Series 3 te vervangen en deze weer sluitend te maken.

Deze handleiding toont de procedure voor de standaard, GPS-versie van de horloge, maar de procedure voor de cellulaire/LTE-versie is nagenoeg hetzelfde. Belangrijke verschillen tussen de procedures worden expliciet in de tekst genoemd.

    • Dien een klein beetje isopropyl alcohol (>99%) toe op een wattenstaafje of gebruik een cleaning pad om op voorzichtige wijze de lijmresten bovenop de force touch pakking te verwijderen.

    • Om de lijmresten te verwijderen aan de kant waar de schermkabels lopen, vouw je het scherm naar beneden en trek je voldoende weg van het frame om zo genoeg ruimte te maken om het schoon te maken.

    I bought 6 adhesive strips expecting to foul up some. I tried following this procedure on three of the sets, but on each set I ended up with one corner not quite long enough to seat properly. On the fourth set I altered the procedure and it finally worked the first time.

    1. Take off the screen. Yes I know, but do it anyway.

    2. Take off only the blue adhesive around the periphery. Do not remove center area.

    3. Place sticky side on force gasket. Seems small, but fit perfectly.

    4. Remove entire inner rectangular portion of adhesive strip

    5. Replace screen

    6. Re-Attach battery

    7. Follow rest of procedure

    The isopropyl alcohol can only remove so much of the old adhesive. After the first pass with the q-tip use an iFixit Opening Tool to carefully scrape off the old adhesive. There is always some left on the case.

    Do not waste your money - did not fit my watch at all. Absolutely useless .

    • Draai de Apple Watch ondersteboven zodat het scherm plat op de grond ligt terwijl je de behuizing omhoog tilt.

    • Verwijder de resten aan de achterkant van het scherm.

    • Gebruik een pincet om de vervangende pakking heel voorzichtig aan het blauwe beschermlipje van het papier op te tillen.

    Be sure to buy two, three or even more replacement adhesive strips, because depending on the batch or brand, most of them can’t be separated easily, they deform and then they are next to useless.

    @iFixit - Guys check the adhesives you are sending to people. The Tesa ones are simply a nightmare to use.

    Vangelis Angelakis -

    Agreed! The strip is EXTREMELY challenging to get off the paper/plastic it comes in - I recommend a very sharp ‘Xacto’, or scalple blade to trim the paper & plastic film (carefully) to allow for the very thin & easily damaged strip from the packaging - let alone getting it place. Vangelis’ adice is sound advice. I had to order two more… (wish me luck)

    Jeff Goodall -

    Thank you both for the heads up! The Tesa brand adhesive was super finicky (my tab broke off pretty early on) but was able to recover with minimal deformation with a blade to remove the unnecessary plastic.

    • Houd de vervangende pakking schuin om deze zo over het scherm heen te kunnen tillen.

    • Duw het scherm een klein beetje naar voren om zo de nieuwe pakking op de juiste positie te kunnen brengen, op een lijn met het frame.

    • Positioneer de vervangende pakking bovenop de force touch afdichting en gebruik het puntige eind van een spudger om deze op de juiste plaats te drukken.

    Den Klebestreifen zu positionieren ist extrem schwer. Teils wegen unzureichender Passgenauigkeit des Klebestreifens, teils weil er ja schon einseitig klebt. Es ist auf jeden Fall hilfreich das AppleWatch-Gehäuse vorher zu fixieren. Ich werde diese Methode nicht ein weiteres mal anwenden, sondern das nächste mal flüssigen Kleber aus der Tube (E-8000 oder vergleichbares) verwenden.

    These things are garbage! I’ve replaced the adhesive on 4-5 Apple watches with various cheap Amazon adhesive products. The tab came off on two different ifixit adhesive kits. The first one the white backer would come all the way off the adhesive, so it was worthless. The second one either stretched or was made too long.

    Don’t waste your money. Quality is poor

    I've tried this twice now and will echo the above feedback that the adhesive sizing appears to be a poor fit for a Series 3. I've done much more complicated repairs on Apple Watches so it isn't a lack of expertise... I don't know if it is a quality control issue or not, but in both cases of attempting this repair, the strip is simply too big and one side or the corners inevitably don't fit flush and the adhesive eventually works its way free again. Very disappointing.

    • Sluit de batterij weer aan zoals is uitgelegd in de handleiding waar je zojuist vandaan komt.

    • Verwijder de beschermlaag van de nieuwe pakking.

    Don’t expect the adhesive strip to follow the edges of the watch’s case. If you try to fit it on the edges on one side, you may end up coming up short on the other, as the above image illustrates. Just try to place it slightly off the edges. It will be ok.

    Vangelis Angelakis -

    der Klebestreifen oasst nicht genau. Es ist eine riesige Fummelei. Wenn er dann richtig aufliegt klebt er noch nicht richtig so dass man beim Abziehen der Schutzfolie den Streifen wieder löst. Keine Chance. Geldverschwendung

    Could not get this thing to glue on at all, tried twice. Watch would not close up afterwards and kept popping back open. Unfortunately I gave up at this point and threw the watch away after an otherwise uneventful battery replacement.

    • Positioneer het scherm en duw deze stevig op de nieuwe pakking.

    • Om de hechting van de nieuwe pakking te optimaliseren, kun je een iOpener gebruiken om het scherm op te warmen. Zet er daarna een aantal uren lang wat druk op (door bijvoorbeeld een of twee boeken voor een nacht op de horloge te leggen).

    Buy two clamps, thank me later. Books are good but trust me the clamps are way better. Also expect the screen to wobble ever so slightly after, since the adhesive seems to be a bit elastic in nature.

    Avoid hot or even warm showers to avoid causing the screen to detach from the adhesive.

My adhesive gasket I ordered from you doesn’t not look like the one you use. I don’t see how it could work either.

Ryan Hoover -

My adhesive was larger than the rim so it had about 5-6 mm bump of extra plastic when I got it in the edge all around. Need it to be sealed so I didn't want to cut anything. Fail.

Kevin Male -

Yes mine was also larger than the adhesive seal that is advertised here.

Nicholas Goldsworthy -

We believe this adhesive kit does not work all the time. there is still risk that with slightly water in-contact during activity, screen may slightly raised again. I think using glue E-8000 after wiping the edges of the watch with isopropyl is a good idea for long term safety.

iRepairMan -

The Tesa adhesives that you sent are simply aweful. The cuts aren’t deep enough to safely remove the replacement adhesive with the blue protective film from the backing paper. Plus when you actually manage to do so, the adhesive’s dimensions are a bit short for the Series 3 42mm model.

Vangelis Angelakis -

I agree that the adhesive is too small for the series 3 case. Also as noted, you need to use the blade from the kit to carefully go all around cutting the thin strip away from the center piece. Remove the center piece completely first! Putting it in place with the back side backing removed is very difficult! I think if there is a next time that I will remove the backside backing after I have put it in place. Going over the lens and past the cables is impossible without it touching something.

Because of these issues I think I would call this install difficulty HIGH.

Bill Auerbach -

Gasket too big for 42mm watch. Useless.

tom.mckerrow -

Be warned the adhesive ifixit sells does not work! I used 3 strips following this guide to a T and each time the screen popped off after a few hours of wearing. Just buy a new watch.
