🔧 Repair Overview
Power Button Repair is one of the most common repairs for Garmin Approach S62. This repair involves replacing the damaged input component with a new or refurbished part. The process typically takes 1-2 hours and requires moderate skill level.
What You'll Need
- Replacement input part (OEM or aftermarket)
- Precision screwdriver set (Phillips #000 or pentalobe)
- Opening tools (plastic spudger, suction cup)

- Clean workspace with good lighting
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1:
Remove the six T5 Torx 6.32mm screws securing the back cover to the watch.
Step 2:
Remove the back cover carefully.
Even after the screws have been removed, the back cover can still be quite difficult to take off. Moderate to extensive prying may be required. Be gentle, but ''firm''.
Step 3:
On the back cover use a plastic opening tool to remove the green tape retaining the battery.
Step 4:
Remove the green tape shrouding the battery connector.
Step 5:
Use the ESD safe [product|IF145-020|tweezers] to push the connector and metal shroud out from the back of the connector.
Remove the third and fourth wires from the right of the connector (as seen when looking from the angle in the photo). They should be red and black respectively.
DO NOT attempt to pull the wire from the connector, it will pull the wire from the metal shroud shown in the red box, which needs to be preserved for the connection to be successful.
Step 6:
Use the ESD safe tweezers to break the adhesive between the back cover and the battery.
Remove the battery.
Step 7:
Remove the green tape on the back of the battery, it can be reused later.
