Introduction

Replacement guide for the screen of the Pebble Time.

    • Use the metal spudger to carefully pull apart the screen cover from the case.

    • Replace the metal spudger with a plastic opening tool to hold the cover open.

    Just a note whilst removing the cover/screen - on my Pebble Time Steel, the LCD seemed to actually be attached to the glass, so when the adhesive around the outside seperated, I disconnected the ribbon cable and removed both as one piece - if you can, this definitely helps keep the end result a bit tidier!

    • Once screen is lifted, insert plastic opening tool between the screen connector and circuit board.

    • Disconnect the screen from the circuit board.

    There might be some yellow / brown sticky tape that covers the lower end of the ribbon cable and those 6 shiny contact pads. You can carefully pull it off when you lift up the cable.

Where can I buy the display replacement?

Hello Ulises,

Based off of my search, I couldn’t find any place where you can buy a display replacement. I advise you to look on Ebay, Amazon, or you can contact Pebble Time for more information at https://www.pebble.com or +18882245820. If none of this works out for you, you might want to check local tech repair shops.

Hope this helps.
