Hi, unfortunately while changing the battery of my watch, I destroyed the bridge of the adhesive (with copper underneath) between the middle “island” and the right “island”. It should be connected like the left “island”. Hope someone understands and sees what I mean. Please see my photo. Now, with the new battery, I cannot start the watch. The Apple symbol pops up for a few seconds, but nothing happens. Is this destroyed bridge the reason? How can I repair the connection or get a spare part? Thanks so much!
The copper adhesive strip is an EMI shield it doesn’t effect the running on the watch. But the lifted edge could be pressing on the battery so I would use a jewelers burnisher to carefully press the edge down.
Well, the battery was just ordered from ifixit. 😉
