  1. Samsung Galaxy Watch3 Motherboard Replacement, Unfasten the back cover screws: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • Before starting repairs, take your watch off the charger and power it down.

    • Use a Tri-point Y00 driver to unfasten the four screws on the back of the watch.

    • Don’t worry about removing the screws, they will stay in place in the back cover.

    I heeded your advice - and now need another screw because it fell out!!!

    I must have stripped the screws out or either the dirt and sweat is so packed into the screw i can't get a good bite to unscrew the screws. What can I do about this? This watch battery DOES NOT hold a charge for more than 5min, should I trash the watch?

    • Insert an opening tool between the back cover and the metal housing.

    • Twist the opening tool to create a wider gap.

    • Don't fully remove the back cover just yet. The sensor flex cable is still connected to the motherboard.

    Could not get the back housing off

    • Remove the back cover.

    • Make sure the rubber gasket (marked red) is undamaged. If damaged replace it with a new one during reassembly to maintain proper water resistance.

    Where would one get a new rubber water gasket if the old one is damaged by this process?

    I need also the Rubber Sealing. Anyone got a replacement part?

    Steffen Politzky -

    Me too, I'm tired of searching for one, they don't exist.

    Karl Roberts - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    If anyone has the red ringed gasket in the photo please share a link to buy or part code to search for etc. I am constantly drawing a blank no matter what key words I search. It's utterly crushing not to have this part easily available.

    Question, I had a demo Watch3. I tried to swap out the software and ended up putting it into Odem Mode. It’s bricked right now, any idea or help to fix it?
