• 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 2mm in, or you can cut the Force Touch sensor. 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: peel the black sticker off the metal plate over the battery connector, remove the 1.2mm Y000 screw and the plate, then lift the connector with a spudger. The Force Touch cable covers one corner of the battery, so keep tools clear of it
• 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 side button works: press it to open the Dock and hold it for the power off screen
• Clean the old adhesive off the Force Touch gasket and the display with isopropyl alcohol. Lay thin strips of 1mm Tesa tape 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
