Using a T5 Torx screwdriver, remove the 4 screws on the back.

Locate the video connector near the bottom, right next to the device that vibrates when you get a notification.
The rumble pack ( Circle silver bit on the bottom right ) is glued to the top of the backplate. Use a spudger to ply it from there as you could damage the cord connected to it if you pull it away with the backplate.
Dieser Konnektor ist NICHT der Video Konnektor! Er ist die Verbindung zu dem umlaufenden Flexkabel mit den Tastern.
Der Video Konnektor ist ein Gummistreifen am unteren Rand der Platine, der zwischen Platine und Display liegt.
Bei Darstellungsproblemen hilft es meist, diesen Gummistreifen herauszunehmen und ihn um 180° gedreht wieder einzulegen.

What worked for me is taking a little toilet tissue or paper towel and placing it over the video connector.

Once you have confirmed that the paper will apply the necessary pressure, you can then put the screws back in.
-
If the case doesn't close properly, you will need to open the device back up and remove a tiny bit of the paper until it does close, that way it will retain its water resistance.

Here is an example of the final result.
Thanks, this was a real life saver. Worked like a charm, and the rapid delivery on the tools was great.
Amazing.

This guide sadly only works for the revised model. The kickstarter edition had no screws in the back and have to be pried open from the screen, making the repair next to impossible without badly damaging de case or/and the screen.
Would something like the iopener work for that? Have had just about every model bar the original ks edition so im not sure myself.
It is possible with heat and a ton of patients. Took a buddy of mine a whole afternoon to open it. Once he had the connector reseated, he actually used a of some sort to hold it in place instead so he wouldn't have to have the whole Pebble stuffed. Then he used the same putty/glue to help seal the watch shut. I'll see if he'll tell me what it was.
"To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order." .... so take it apart again and remove the tissue?
I see you are trying to be funny.
In case you were serious: no do not remove the tissue.
That connector isn't video, it's the antenna and buttons. The display is actually not physically connected to the board.
This astoundingly simple procedure revived my dear pebble; works like a charm!
I was very worried I had finally lost this thing after all these years. Nope, I cut a sticky note up and folded it up since I felt a little more neat. Works like a charm!
