Motorola moto 360 3rd gen: Battery replacement for Moto 360 3rd Gen

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 10:45:24 -0700

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement battery? I think that is my issue since I am stuck in a boot-loop with a battery charge icon when the power button is held down. The battery is 1ICP5/24/28 (APP00306).

Motorola Moto 360 2nd Gen: Looking for suggestions on how to remove the button from the case

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 20:50:40 -0700

As the question title states, I’m looking for suggestions on how to remove the button from the case of a Moto 360 2nd Gen (42mm). I’ve tried tweezers (both a friend’s iFixit set and a professional phone repair place; end result was tweezers bent, and button didn’t budge), fine tip flat tip screwdriver (no dice). Anyone have any suggestions on where to find the 6 lug spanner/spindle nut (not sure of what it’s called exactly) that fits the button, or anything that might grip it snugly enough to back out the button? My inability to back out the button is holding me up from replacing the battery. Thanks. :)

Motorola Moto 360: Should I clean my watch after immersing it in sea water?

Thu, 02 Mar 2017 05:35:22 -0700

Hi!!

Last week I forgot to take off tmy moto 360 when I went to the beach. After a week with a dead watch, I could manage to recover it and I have charged it completely. However, it has some damage, the side button is not working and battery seems to last less time. After 8 hours of light use it has 38% (not too bad). I'm going to give it 2-3 complete charges in order to know the real damage in the battery.

However, I think that I should open the watch in order to remove any salt or oxid. It is not an easy task to open a moto 360 because the rear cover is hardly glued and there is no replacement available on internet in case of cover breaking . What are your opinion guys?

Motorola Moto 360: Power Button is Broken

Wed, 26 Feb 2020 09:19:42 -0700

So out of no where my button stopped working, It no longer clicks. So it may just need realigned. Anyone else have that issues? If so, will Motorola cover it? Or did you fix it yourself? I did NOT get the Moto Care when I purchased the Moto 360, seeing as a run my own phone repair business, I figured there would be parts out there by the time I damaged it.

From what I can tell in the break down, the actual button is surface mounted and soldered on the board. As for the part of the button one presses, it's a little hard to tell.

Anyone who've attempted repairs on the Moto 360 have any suggestions?

Thanks! -Jeff

Motorola Moto 360 2nd Gen: Screen won' turn on after battery replacement

Fri, 17 Apr 2020 10:27:42 -0700

I am trying to replace my battery in the Moto360 Sport. I replaced the battery, however the screen does not show anything. It vibrates and the screen gets bright, but nothing else. I made sure everything is connected. Does anyone know what may cause nothing to show on the screen? I'm thinking I broke something with the battery replacement however I see nothing out of the ordinary.

I followed the steps from iFixIt site and replaced the battery, but looks like something went wrong as the watch is acting there is no battery. It doesn’t start. I don’t think it is charging either as it stays cold. I remember it used to warm up as it charges.

I have had my watch for 2 and a half years and for the past couple of months it just switches itself off randomly. Will only switch on again when placed on the charging dock.

Please advise.
