#JBL FLIP 2 EBAY PC#
There was no way I could have gotten the soldering iron in there unless I removed the small PC board. When they mated to the solder pads on the PC board I simply used my heat gun to melt and make the solder connection. Wirelessly connect up to 2 smartphones or tablets to the speaker and take turns.

I also used a tiny amount of "chip quick" liquid solder on the pins. : JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Teal. I had to remove two plastic nubs on the bottom to allow the port and pins to mate flush with the board.
The new port would not sit flush with the board. First I used a heat gun (adjutable heat) to remove the old USB port. I made the repairs without removing the small PC board on which the USB port is mounted. It worked it was not a perfect fit but I got it to work.įor the record I'm an electronics tech with lots of soldering experience. I ordered the part that Joshrawks21 put a link to.

If you have any questions on anything I wrote here feel free to ask! Im still trying to find a good replacement for the microusb port, if you guys have any solutions to that specific problem haha please let me know. This is the process I used to separate the damaged circuit board to repair the micro usb port. From here, feel free to put everything back together so you simply won't lose any screws, or forget their locations. Once you remove the rubber to where you can move the wired around, disconnect the two wires from the internal board, gently pull the charge/aux circuit board away from the rubber caulk its attached with and pull the now disconnected and mostly rubber-free cables through and out. So, start by clearing out a lot of that rubber, very carefully because the wires can be damaged if not careful. This port helps lower the charging time to just 2.5 hours from flat to fully juiced. Keep in mind the circuit we want to remove for repairs is NOT held down by screws or clips, just that black rubber caulking. JBL Flip 5 (Black) at Amazon for 108 Black Friday deals: see all the best offers right now That makes the Flip 5 essentially just a Bluetooth (4.2) speaker albeit one with a USB-C charging port and cable. You will notice a lot of that black rubber near the wires you need to disconnect. This exposes the internal circuitry of the speaker. From here its pretty straight forward, once removing those plates you disassemble the subwoofer on the side of the charging circuit. Sound quality is ok, but compared to the FLIP 4 the sound feels less 360° (and kinda less louder, too), and then I found out the reason is that instead of installing 2 internal speakers in the FLIP 5, the have installed only 1 (slightly bigger). You can remove that, but be careful there is a ribbon cable attached. After that you'll realize that a set of 6 screws (paired up right next to the 6 out of 10 screws you took off the middle to remove the shell) holds the cover to the component we wish to fix. You'll notice that once you proceed to remove the first set of 10 screws (6 in the middle and 2 on the ends near the speakers) it removes the exterior shell of the speaker. A "#1" sized precision screwdriver worked really well with my disassembly, and I believe all the screws that need to be taken off are compatible with that size as well. There are a multitude of screws but that shouldn't be to hard to keep in order once taken off. Once you get the mesh off it actually really simple. Inside this mesh there is some double sided type strip running the length of the mesh, Possible to keep it sealed, other than that there are no wires or anything attached to the face mesh. The way to open it is to take off the face mesh by using a flat tool to slowly pop off the edges.
