In this short video I show you how to repair a Casio watch that has no beep alarm sounds.
You can purchase spring bars on ebay using this link:
rover.ebay.com/...
And now I know for sure that the little spring I lost the other day is responsible for all the sounds... thank you so much for reasurance. Great vid ;)
Got my old 1987 W-780 chirping again! Didn't realize it needed two springs to work until I watched this.
Good day, thank you very much for this video - I have a 97' Casio GT-000 G-Cool (1633) watch which lost its sound after battery change at a watch repair facility (they had to clean the watch because it had some kind of blue residue underneath the back plate). I thought they damaged the "speaker" in the process but looks like it is repairable. Thank you again for showing how to fix it :)
UPDATE: after opening the watch, indeed, one spring was missing (under the battery); made a spring out of a tiny enamel wire (stripped the coating with 120 grit sandpaper) by coiling it around a tiny acupuncture needle, cut to length, inserted into the hole, closed the backplate, and VOILA! The beeper/alarm is back :) Thank you so much for posting the video!
Thank you so much, sir. I had an extra spring after changing my battery, and mysteriously no sound. I was considering throwing the watch away, but luckily I saved the spring and found your tutorial video. You made it so easy!
The watch that I bought in 1991 and Just changed the original battery for had this problem! Your tutorial worked like a dream! Thanks!
Glad I could help. 🙂
Thank you so much for this guide! I bought a Casio on eBay seller said no sound. After watching your video I opened up the watch and it looked like one spring was missing. Followed your guide and now the sound works! Thank you!
Just fixed my A168 thanks to this. I managed to get water inside the case and opened it to dry out and must have lost the spring. Spring bar trick worked a treat. Thanks for doing this video!
absolute lifesaver on this video! I did a negative display mod on my AE-1200 and it must have dropped out during it. This method is magical! thanks!
You saved me. Took my watch for battery swap, but the guy lost the spring. On my way back home I started wondering why the watch did not sound. Took the seeing as you showed me and replaced it. Thanks a lot!!!
I have a G-Shock GW-5600E and this gave me the information I needed! Really appreciate the video!!! In my watches case, you can put the back on either way, but one way, not knowing any better, the ground doesn't make contact with the case and no noise... The other way (the PROPER way - LOL), it does. For the timer while in the gym, this is a necessary sound for me.
Glad I could be of assistance. Glad to here your GW-5600E has a voice again. Thanks.
Thanks for fixing my problem. I did not know that 1 of 2 springs in my Casio DBC-610 watch jumped out to be lost forever when I removed the case back for a battery replacement. That trick with the watch band spring bar was perfect for the missing spring. I just cut it to the same length as the other original spring with my diagonal flush-cut plyers. The beep is back along with the hourly chime!
Thanks for making this! I thought I'd damaged my AE-1200WHD "Casio Royale" when modding the LEDs, but my spring was just in the wrong hole.
I slip the spring over a pin and guide it back in the recess .... never trusted pliers as I am wary of damaging the spring or it ‘jumps’ from the grip and you lose it..... been repairing (and breaking) watches since I was a kid 👍
I opened my brand new watch out of curiosity, heard a spring go flying to my surprise (y'know because it's a quarts watch), and didn't think much of it. After a few days now, I know exactly what happened lol. THANK YOU for making this video
Thank you!!!! I saved my Casio thanks to your genius!
no need any little spring though, i just pulled back the little spring inside it and beed sound came back to life again !
i felt in love again with my 16 years old Jaga.! Thank you so much .!
What is the purpose of pull back the litte spring inside? My watch didn't lose spring
You save my life Brother!!!! i buy a DB-55w and the sound not work and I was out of these springs and didn't know where to find them, thank you very much!!!
Thank you so much. While changing my battery on W96h I faced the same problem and was devastated as its my first childhood watch but now its all good to go
Thank you so much for this! I just saved my old Casio TC-500.
I've got a Casio Solar G-Shock Solar watch, a GW-530A. Sometime ago I needed to replace the (rechargeable) battery. Opened it up and sure as heck, ended up losing one of the VERY, VERY, TINY springs. Ended up taking it in to a local watch repair shop. Owner did something similar to what you've done here using spring bar springs. Problem is that the replacement battery was not a rechargeable type, worked ok for a couple years until it didn't. I recently opened it back up once again to replace the battery, this time ultimate installing the OEM Panasonic CTL-1616 rechargeable battery (not a standard 3V, CL-1616 lithium although it did work). Long, boring story short, ran across your video here showing how to crack open one of those spring bars, removing and sizing the springs; something I should have paid attention to while the watch repair guy did the same thing. Regardless, the DIY repair you show here will likely be of use for me sometime in the future as well as for many other Casio watch owners.
Thanks!
Thank you! I changed the battery in my Ronstan ClearStart sailing watch and lost the sound. The issue was simply that I’d put the rear cover on upside down. Never knew that bit on the back of the case was the speaker! Always thought it was to stop the battery shorting on the cover.
Thank you!!! ...short story is that I replaced the battery in my Casio aw-80, 30 telememo and accidentally took out the spring which later didn't know in what tiny little hole goes in, so I took it all to the repair shop and told them this, and it sat there for like 2 months (budget around u$s20-) without them calling me or anything, went and got it back kinda upset and BOOM I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO!!! ...thanks a lot, solution in 10 min. God bless you!!!
Thank you so much! Using this tutorial i just fixed the sound in my old casio. Both springs were present, but one of them was too short and had to be stretched to make contact
Thank you so much, i bought an a168we yesterday and took it apart to remove dust on the inside of the display, i lost the spring but just happened to have extra bars, it worked a charm
thankyou so much! you saved my life😄 coz i lost that tiny little spring. now because of you the beep sounds is properly working
Great video, thanks mate. I bought a new battery thinking that was the problem, when the beeping still wasn’t happening, I googled it and your video came up. That fixed my problem. Note: I had two holes in my Casio W89, which I put half a spring in each. The beeping worked, but the watch wouldn’t function (just displayed 12:00:00 and wouldn’t progress nor respond to button presses). It turned out that I only needed a spring in the smaller hole. Works flawlessly since that. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! It took me the same amount of time of the video to get it to work. I have a Casio LA670W btw, in case anyone doubts it. I also used the spring that came with the watch. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
excellent video i have the same model watch but i have only one spring, now i know how to fix the sound, thank you very much smart guy
This is amazing content! Keep going. I had a similar issue. Turns out, the watch was repaired prior. However, they didn't affix the backplate properly and the speaker wasn't aligning with the spring. So, I unscrewed the backplate and looked at my other G-shock (3230), and noticed the backplate was upside down. There was a spring in the watch, just not making contact with the speaker. So yea. It Works!!!
I used a piece of foil and seemed to work…your method is genius
Thanks you make my day, in my case I have the spring but I put the metal cover the wrong way, I though the spring should touch the metal cover.
Thanks! I just did the w800h timer mod and didn't have any sound before I assembled it. I didn't realize the speaker was on the back of the case.
Clever, and very helpful quick repair for a new W-217H arrived minus it's piezo spring. Cheers!
Glad I found your video. I got the Telememo 30 from 24 years years ago. Worked like a charm. Thank you so much.
Thank you soo much you just saved me $40 when I had changed the battery to my 5600e I just needed to straighten the spring and the coil and the speaker started working again, I was almost forced to use my back up
GA - 700uc
Perfect, your video and instructions just saved my Casio Watch, Thank you!
Fantastic video, the speaker on my AQ230 wasn't working and this was the solution I needed, the back of the watch was on the wrong way, I flipped it around and it worked.
I like your videos, subbed.
Awesome. I'm glad I could help.
Thank you for posting this. I was able to fix my edifice watch with no sound.
In my case, the spring is there. But the wacth repair man stick a sticker on the speaker which act as insulator between the spring and the speaker. So I removed the sticker and the sound is back again.
Thanks a lot.
This could probably help me.I bought just for fun a Casio W 728h on eBay this week in very good condition for this age.That was my teenage watch.I noticed that there is a sound problem.It's very very quiet.a bit annoying
Check my reply to James G comment.
@@digitalcasio2704 i did.Maybe it will work this way 👍🏻
Excellent It worked bery well with my W-740 of the mid 90's CR16 batteru BTW
Thank you very much 👍🏻
In my case of F-91W, just a little bit of unscrewing each screws brought back the beep sound.
Excellent video. Hope this gets mine working, it's a 3194 casio gshock, but I only saw one string whe I changed the battery
Awesome - lost the spring on my kids little casio watch, and this little hack saved my bacon :D
great video man, not exactly the issue i was having but gave me the info needed to solve the issue i was having :) Thanks
Thank you, it's not my model, but it gave me an idea of what I had to do.
Cool its very useful knowing you can use a spring bar spring to replace that lost piezo speaker spring i go nuts trying to find the original on that pinged across the room thank u
My CA-53W has new life :-) Thank You Sir
How many springs were needed? I have the same issue, but there are 7 holes a spring can fit into.
Thank you very much for this great video - it worked and now it is as good as new!
Thank you for your good scribes i just came back here to say thank you
You're welcome.
Thanks!! Worked like a charm
Thanks for this. I lost sound on two old Illuminators over the years. Maybe I can fix the one that's still wearable.
Thank you sir! Great video, and was able to revive the beep on my old DB-25! Cheers 🍻
I'm glad you found the video useful. I love the DB-25, great watch.
My beeper stopped working on my Casio F91-W and it doesn’t have beep springs, do you know a fix?
I’m all familiar with the tiny springs and the piezoelectric speaker however on my f91w I did not notice any spring? My Casio is currently silent :’(
Hey, I just fixed up my old F91W and I can say it does not use a spring like my CA53W does (and is not working thus forcing me to go back in time to 1995 and my F91!) but instead has a built in bar that makes contact with the white disk on the back. Maybe your bar is bent/broken.
Thanks
It works, Thank you sir, it's really helping me so much, btw the hard part is make the springs came out
No problem. Yeah I had to do some serious editing for the video, not as simple as I made it look. I'm glad it worked out for you and your DB-310 is singing again.
really helpful, thanks!
Thank you, lifesaver 👍🏽
I have a 70s nentime with the same problem. the spring was bent sideways, tried pushing it back, and plate back, and made crackle of alarm sound, but still not working. looks like that white sticker part has worn away, does it need to be in contact with it too work properly?
I'm not familiar with this. Sometimes there is a sticker that acts as an insulator which if damaged or missing will cause a short circuit. If you are referring to the piezo speaker and that has damage then that will also cause no sound. The fact you did get some kind of sound from it suggests that it is damaged. The only real test is to hold the back and try to contact the speaker and the spring away from where they normally contact. Sorry I can't help you much with this.
You deserve alot of thanks really ☺️ amazing works
Thank you 😊
How does this DB have a chome finish? I thought they only made resin ones. I have an origina DB-520
Very helpful. Thanks. 🙂
Hello, i didn't know about this kind of speaker, anyway my old Casio databank DB-500 is missing of those springs, can you tell what are the right holes where to put the springs?
I can't hear the alarm on my Casio 5110 digital/analog watch. I'm wondering if this would work for that too.
So this is how the sound is produced: when we push the buttons, these 2 springs touch the speaker which is on the back of the case? Is there any way to make your watch louder? Put longer springs or a different speaker?😊
Cool fix!
Can someone plz tell me where the spring goes in the ae 1500wh?
I might use this to _get rid of_ the sound. I want to stop the beeps when I change modes. I primarily want this for stopwatch and time, not the alarm...
YES GREAT VID THANK YOU LOST BACK LIGHT TO ANY INFO ?
I have the same DB31 another of my curiosity victims when whas a child , first battery change at aprox 8 years old, still working (my first repaired computer was too a Casio FX 720p, the piezo speaker has a broken wire) both works today.
About the DB31 and the model on your video, has a 3rd hole with the letters AC ( alarm clock?) what is the purpouse of it? sorry for my english, now i suscribe, great channel.
AC=All Clear. It is used when a new battery is installed. Using tweezers you touch the battery with the AC to short circuit and reset the watch. Sometimes after installing a new battery the watch doesn't function correctly so the AC is used to make it work correctly. Thanks for subscribing.
@@digitalcasio2704 Noooo, you just revealed a riddle, when I was 8 I read it and I assumed it was Alarm clock, 36 years later I came to find out that it is All clear, I couldn't find a technical sheet on the entire internet, I wanted to know.
You removed a technical trauma from my childhood, you are a genius!! really thank you!!! (add the Gif of the exploding mind to my answer ha ha)
Nice info. I got a data bank too that's short of a spring. Are the springs easy to get online? Do you know if it has a part name or number?
I bought a used A159W 593 module, but there is no sound. Did i miss that spring? I opened it but i don't see any place where it is supposed to be. And I don't see any nylon isolation cover so the metal cover of the battery don't touch the back cover of the watch. So do I missing the spring or the nylon battery cover? Back cover has that metal disk used for alarm glued correctly on it.
I will answer my question, in case someone has the same no sound problem like me.
My A159W model with the newer version of 593 module inside, it didn't had any spring.
It was just that white nylon isolating piece that i was missing, and this was the reason that i didn't had sound.
I put a piece of insulating tape on it, to cover the left and right extension of the battery cover, leaving only the top extended part of the battery cover and the bottom extended part of the module touching the back case of the watch, and now it works fine!
So anything nylon, or cellophane, or a piece of a vinyl glove (you probably have some of those laying around from the covid era) will work.
And by now that i am thinking of it, maybe i should have used something with less glue than the insulating tape...
👌👏 thanks
F A N T A S T I C ! ! ! 💯👍😀
I tested buzzer input by multimeter and that was a pulse current
How can i change that to dc current ?
Can i remove a specific piece of watch , to away from pulse current ?
(sorry for my english)
Hello sir i have a G Shock GA-100 and its not making any noise while i press any button can you give a tips to jow to fix it please? Thank you.
Does this work for g shocks as well? I had my ga110 battery recently repaired and its battery replaced at mister minit but now the sound doesnt work.
Thanks! Just did this in reverse to remove the sound
Good job
Thank you. 🙂
Had the same problem. Casio W-25 marlin. Module 181. Lost the spring. Try instal spring from another casio watch, no sound. Try to disasembly the watch, but seems the spring hole is not through, not contact any pcb pad. Still confusing. If I remember correctly, the spring in this model is different. This module has 5 alarm. Now it's useless. Any suggestion?
T.I.A.
I think the speaker/buzzer is on the front against the crystal. Try the spring in the front of the module. There should be a hole that it fits into.
Great video, thank you. Could missing springs also be the reason that the light doesn't work on a g-shock? Thanks!
I'm not savvy with G-Shocks but typically no. Whether it has an electroluminescent light or an LED it's likely to be a break in the circuit. Maybe someone else has a better idea?
I also hve prblem like this, after changing battery by service person, mybe he lost the spring and dont say anthing to me ☹️,
Cool
My watch db310 low sound,what to do sir?
my sounds is missing on F91W after battery change ..no spring on these ..
thankyou sir :D
My newly bought casio vintage AQ-230-A-1DMQ would not give an alarm-beep when the alarm is on. When the time reach the set alarm time, I have to give a little pressure to the MODE button manually to make it beep. I think I got a defective product.
If you can get it exchanged for a new one. It could be that it has taken a knock and dislodged the spring but it is not a good sign for a brand new watch.
I already removed some of the band link to match my thin wrist..lol...Im afraid they they wont let me exchange it. Anyway, Ill try it.
Perfect
Thanks - is there a way to increase the sound - I can only here my watch beep when I have it right at my ear - any help highly appreciated - is there probably a second spring missing if sound is low? I have a DW-402
I don't think so. You could try holding the buzzer against the spring in a different location. By that i mean move the back a little from where the spring usually makes contact. It won't fix the problem bur you can at least figure out if the speaker is damaged.
Sir help me. How to solv screen is fade Casio al-180 .sir pls help me
It's a solar watch and I'm not sure what you are experiencing. It maybe the capacitor cell is dieing. Alternatively it could be the polarizer has perished.
@@digitalcasio2704 sir plz tell me what I do in this problem (some bar is not proper indicated) plz help me sir.MODEL NO Casio AL-180 [2505]
It's a very common problem and people throw their watches away due to that reason.
I have a DBA 80 that i bought recently and i took the module out to clean the inside of the case. This watch has a different type of speaker that sits in the front behind a grille. After i cleaned the case i put it all back in together but the speaker doesnt seem to work anymore. I tried a bunch of times to reassemble and look for anything that might be broken but i just couldnt find a fix. Any ideas?
I remember I had the same issue doing exactly the same thing. I finally got it working by trial and error. Try holding the speaker onto the module and push the button contacts. Make tiny adjustments to the speaker orientation. Hopefully you will get sound from it again and determine that the speaker is okay. I wish you the best of luck. Let me know how you get on.
DigitalCasio Thank you! I will try a bit later on in the day, but i will let you know.
DigitalCasio I tried what you said but with no result, the speaker still wont work. It was working fine until i pulled it out. Could i have damaged something? I was pretty careful handling it.
Is there a metal frame on the inside of the case?
DigitalCasio The module is made of plastic and it has a metal plate on the back that clips on all four sides of the module and keeps it all in one piece. The speaker itself is connected to the module by just two metal tabs and it only goes one way in the case. As i can observe there are two other metal tabs that stick out, one in the back and one in the front (the front one slides horizontally and can be removed, also can slide in a position that once pressed touches a bit of metal in the middle above the speaker). The case itself has a metal plate on the front on the inside that goes right below the front buttons from the bottom right to where the screen starts.
What is the name of speaker module?
How do I repair this model? a159w
Anyone knows if Can I get the micro speaker??
Does this apply to the f91w
No. It doesn't use a spring. It is built in, a metal bar that bends.
I have this problem for a Casio W-24 A Marlin. The clip holding the battery has a metal tongue touching the back, but there is really no good place for a spring. I am even not sure the W-24 uses the back case as speaker, the back case just seems like a metal disc. Maybe something for a professional?
The Marlins are different in that the speaker is on the front. There isn't a spring but two metal contacts top and bottom of the module face.
yea but can you change the sound i have a lot of watches and all sound different it should be posible idk
I have the same problem but have yet to find a solution.
Pulled apart about 4-5 spring bars, cannot get the spring to come out for the life of me, what am I doing wrong?
Try removing both ends of the spring bar and force the spring out with a paper clip or something.
@@digitalcasio2704 @DigitalCasio well I got the spring out and put it in where I thought it should go, I tried a couple different places, but still no sound, I'm ready to give up at this point.
I have the AE-1000W so it's a little bit different than the one in your video, but the title does say "how to fix a Casio watch" not so in my case, lot of hassle and expense trying to fix a $20 watch, throwing it out would have been a better decision.
