Hello! When I was trying to take the screen back off of my watch after removing adhesive and pausing the project for a little while, the screen wouldn’t come off. I stuck a piece of tape to the screen and slowly pulled it off but I must’ve used too much pressure because I ripped what I believe are two copper traces in a flex cable. I’m pretty sure that I need to replace the whole screen assembly now (ouch) but was just curious what exactly I ripped and what they do.

Thank you!

Looks like soldering joints to the NFC antenna under the screen.

Here’s a better pic of the area, It’s just two traces which end there (a very basic antenna)
