Has the battery flex cable in your Apple Watch Series 1 or Original 38mm torn or been damaged? If the watch won't power on or charge because the battery connection is broken, this replacement battery flex cable, which carries the battery connector, is the part. Fitting it needs microsoldering.

- MADE FOR 38MM - For the 38mm Original (1st gen) and Series 1 case only.
- 12 MONTH WARRANTY - Covered for 12 months from purchase.
- SENT FROM NZ STOCK - Shipped from our New Zealand stock, so there's no waiting weeks for a part to arrive from overseas.
Part Includes:
- Apple Watch Original / Series 1 38mm Battery Flex Cable
- Battery connection
- Force Touch connector
- Microphone
- 12 Month Warranty
Please Note
Does NOT fit the 42mm Original or Series 1 (larger watch). Check Settings, General, About, Model. Got a 42mm? See our Series 1 & Original 42mm battery flex.
Please Note
The display sits on a Force Touch gasket. To reseal it, clean off the old adhesive and lay new Apple Watch Original, Series 1 and Series 2 38mm LCD screen adhesive on the gasket, or use B7000 multipurpose liquid repair glue around the case edge. If the gasket splits, fit a new Apple Watch Original / Series 1 38mm Force Touch gasket, which comes with its own adhesive.

Here are some helpful tips to assist you in completing a safe repair on your device. If you are unsure of something or have any questions, please feel free to contact us either by phone (0508 IGADGET) or by email
- Drain the battery below 25% before you start on this repair. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire if it's punctured or damaged
- Power the watch off and take it off its charger before you open it
- Warm the display with the iOpener, then cut the adhesive with the knife no more than about 3mm in, working slowly so you don't split the Force Touch gasket or cut the display cables. Use the iFlex on the display edge only, never near the battery
- Lift the display with a pick and separate it from the Force Touch gasket. Open it only to about 45 degrees: its cables are still connected underneath
- Track your screws on a magnetic mat and handle them with tweezers, so each tiny screw goes back in the right place
- Disconnect the battery before you touch the flex, lifting its connector with a spudger rather than a metal tool, and never bend, crush or puncture the battery
- This flex is soldered in, so fitting it needs microsoldering: a fine tip soldering iron, flux and a steady hand under magnification. Shield the battery and nearby parts from the heat
- Before you reseal, check the watch powers on and charges with the new flex in place
- Clean the old adhesive off the Force Touch gasket and the display with isopropyl alcohol. Lay new LCD screen adhesive on the gasket (or fit a new gasket with adhesive if it split), or run a thin bead of B7000 glue around the case edge, then press the display down evenly while it sets
- If your watch doesn't turn on after the repair, force restart it: hold the side button and the Digital Crown together for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Caution
If the battery in your device is swollen or damaged during repair, take the proper precautions
