Use this guide to replace a cracked or broken screen assembly on your Samsung Galaxy Watch Active.
Note: Some replacement screens come as screen-only without a new frame. That's a different procedure from what's shown in this guide. If you're replacing the screen only, follow this guide instead.

These instructions look very good! My screen has several cracks and I want to replace the front module. Do you have any idea where I can order one?
Yes there s one on eBay for $31.76 https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChc...
My screen was black or showing static. I disassembled and reassembled and now it's back to normal. Might have been a bad internal connection.
Think I have the same issue may have to try opening it. Do you still have it? Is it still good?
this is a rather silly question, but which model is that diode on the LCD panel? I couldn't find the schematics for the screen
