• 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
