Title
Pebble Time Steel Battery Replacement
Introduction
Hey folks! Just thought I'd write something up here, since there doesn't seem to be much in the way of explaining a battery replacement on a Time Steel, and the differences between the Time etc.
So the first question - you can use the Pebble Time Battery Replacement Guide (linked [guide|87648|here|new_window=true]), the main difference however is that the LCD on the Time Steel is ***bonded*** to the front cover, so definitely avoid separating those if you can.
The most useful information I've found on the web is actually in this Reddit Thread here: [link|https://www.reddit.com/r/pebble/comments/ic8yeh/a_quick_guide_on_getting_a_battery_for_your/|https://www.reddit.com/r/pebble/comments/ic8yeh/a_quick_guide_on_getting_a_battery_for_your/|new_window=true], where they talk about what batteries fit etc and what to do/what not to do - it's tight, and there are a few ways to make it work, but definitely worth pre-reading and having an idea what you're getting yourself into.
Finally, I've also just posted some pictures up of the replacement I just did with a few notes, photos here: [link|https://imgur.com/gallery/V4SUvbz|https://imgur.com/gallery/V4SUvbz|new_window=true].
Also, be careful if you haven't torn anything apart before, as this one is a tid bit fiddly. If you've taken a few phones apart you'll be familiar with the niggles and things moving around and small screws that aren't magnetic etc, otherwise if it's your first repair just be weary that the soldering is fiddly and it's very easy to drop screws especially since they aren't magnetic.
Hopefully this helps someone!
