Introduction
In this guide, you'll disconnect all components in order to replace a faulty or damaged motherboard in your LG G Watch R. Motherboard failure will typically stop your watch from working or even turning on. However, the motherboard is usually the most expensive part of the device to replace—so check the troubleshooting page to rule out other factors before replacing the motherboard. Since your data is stored on a chip on the motherboard, be aware that replacing the board will cause you to lose any saved data.
