Product Details

Is your Apple Watch Series 3 microphone not working? If callers can't hear you or Siri doesn't respond, a damaged flex can be the cause. This is the battery flex cable with the microphone for the Series 3 38mm GPS model. Fitting it needs microsoldering.

 

  • MICROPHONE ON THE FLEX - The microphone is part of this flex, so a failed microphone is replaced along with it.
  • MADE FOR THE GPS MODEL - For the Series 3 38mm GPS (A1858) 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 Series 3 38mm GPS Battery Flex Cable
  • Microphone
  • 12 Month Warranty

 

Please Note

Does NOT fit any 42mm Series 3 (different size). Check Settings, General, About, Model. 38mm Cellular (A1860, A1889, A1890)? See our Series 3 38mm Cellular flex.

Please Note

The display sits on a Force Touch gasket. To reseal it, clean off the old adhesive and lay new Apple Watch Series 3 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 Series 3 38mm GPS Force Touch gasket, which comes with its own adhesive.

Installation Help

helpful tips

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 first: remove the Y000 screw and the metal cover over the battery connector (open it all the way, close it halfway and lift it out), then pry the connector straight up with a spudger. Keep metal tools away from 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 microphone works: make a short call or ask Siri something and check it hears you
  • 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
