Today, after a month of utilise, my smartphone suddenly stopped working. It does not turn on, it does not charge up and it’s not recognized by the computer. Does anyone know what to do? I’m kinda desperate

In this case you can disconnect and reconnect the battery, it usually works. Try to open the watch and find the connector.

I opened the watch and removed all the screws but the board does not lift apart, do I have to force it?

I don't know what a LEM5 looks like (a HD picture would help), on other watch there's no need to move the board, just find the battery connector (on I3 it looks like a WIFI connector) and disconnect it.
Then wait a few sec and reconnect and it should work.

did you do something before it stopped working? did you install something? dropped it? got wet? maybe the charger dock is’nt ok and not the watch itself. it is risky to try getting to the battery if you do’nt know how to do it, my suggestion is first check the dock and do the 4 dots on the back cover look clean?

I simply did not use the watch for 2 days, left it on my desk doing absolutely nothing
I also cleaned charging contacts (Base, outside and inside the watch) but still no sign of activity.

Flash it? It’s not recognized by the computer

it does’nt have to be on at all to flash it.

Well I tried the “clean it” way and didn’t work, so I will try this too. Let me just check around how to do it

I saw your video about flashing with SPtool, I downloaded the lemfo firmware but when i click download and connect my smartwatch to the computer nothing happens... here's the image, its not detected

that is'nt good:\ it means either the battery is disconnected or the watch died. remove carefully the metal cover of the watch (after you remove the metal back i mean) and then you'll have to screw out the board and then disconnect the battery and reconnect it be careful the cables should be removed easily with out force i mean if i'm not mistaken pull up and not stright (learned the hard way:\) it should pop up easily if not be careful.

Yesterday I removed all the screws but I didnt manage to get the board off... how do I remove that metal cover off the board?

There are screws holding the board in place as well.
To remove the shield - which is actually the WiFi antenna as well - you need to use a small flat plastic tool to gently lift it from the board.
Make sure you treat it carefully - you need it to go back into place.
The shield is attached by special little grip slots on the board.
Once removed you can access any screws holding the board to the watch base.
Remove these and EXTREMELY CAREFULLY lift the board.
Obviously you will need to detach cables as you go.
Now - this is where it gets very scary.!! Once you reach this point you will need to gently detach the battery from the display screen - it is usually attached using a very thin layer of foam sheet.
Take note of the circuit board attached to the battery. A small independent management board which is usually wrapped with the battery.
Any replacement battery will need the same small board - you can very carefully transfer it from old to new battery.
Then you need to ensure everything fits back together without any issues.
It is a very delicate and complex procedure.
Good luck

To disconnect the battery you just need to remove the black and red cable connector on the left of the sim slot.
Hang on - disregard my last post for a minute.
Do you just want to disconnect it or replace it ?
If it is just a disconnect then reconnect of the battery plug on the main board - a small black plug flatly attached to the board next to the sim card holder.
Remember to carefully lift it up and off the board
