LG G Watch R Battery Housing

Einleitung

This guide will show you how to remove the battery housing for the LG G Watch R.

Power off your watch before disassembling it.
Place the watch upside down on a hard surface so that its back case is facing upright.
Use a T4 Torx Star screwdriver to remove the four 4.0 mm Torx screws from the corners of the back case.

So i bought a torx t5…but it is tooo big. It must br torx t4

I think I have damaged one of the screw heads while trying to unscrew the back of the watch.

I used the Torx T4… but the screw was covered in quite a bit of rust. Now the Torx T4 can’t get a grip.

What should I do? (Can anything be done?)

Yea take a tiny file or a tiny Dremel attachment and carve a flat head groove in the head just enough so where you can use a flat head to get it

Thank you for good instructions! Saved me for 300€ (don’t have to buy a new wacth) ?

Use a plastic opening tool to pry open the back case from both sides of the watch.

With a plastic opening tool, disconnect the four connectors on the top of the motherboard.

Where do I buy the parts? I already have your tools.

Remove three 3.0 mm Phillips screws on the edges of the motherboard with a Phillips #000 screwdriver.

Add colored markup to indicate location of the 3 screws.

I felt like my #00 driver fit slightly better for these screws, but it probably depends on which toolkit or bit set you have.

Grasp the edges of the motherboard and slide it slightly towards the right to remove it from its case.

Use a plastic opening tool to pry the battery out of the device.
You may need to use a stronger prying force due to the adhesive that secures the battery to the case.
