Step-by-Step DIY Guide to Replacing the Cracked, Broken, or Damaged Display on the Garmin Fenix 6 at Home
In this detailed DIY repair guide, we show you how to replace a broken, cracked, or damaged touchscreen display on the Garmin Fenix 6 yourself. Follow each step carefully and use the accompanying images as a visual guide to complete the repair with confidence.
Step 1: Remove the Cracked or Damaged Display from the Watch Housing
1.1. Unfasten the 5 screws on the watch face with a T5 screwdriver and store them in one of the slots on the rubber work mat.
1.2. Flip the display over gently and disconnect the ribbon cable with a nylon spudger.
Important Note: All Garmin Fenix replacement screens available from the Joe’sGE store include a pre-installed water-resistant seal. If you're purchasing a screen from another supplier, check whether the replacement includes the seal.

Step 2: Install a New Touchscreen Display
2.1. Clean the watch housing with isopropyl alcohol.
2.2. Connect the ribbon cable on the new display to the main board.
2.3. Test the new display to confirm touch responsiveness and that there are no dead pixels.
2.4. Align the new display with the watch housing and fasten the five T5 screws.
Congratulations! Your Garmin Fenix 6 is Ready to Use
You have successfully replaced the cracked, broken, or flickering touchscreen display on the Garmin Fenix 6 multisport watch. Test the touch response and inspect the watch casing for proper alignment to ensure a water-resistant seal.
