Introduction

This guide is not a total teardown. Rather, it covers only the largest components of the device. See the video below for a visual representation.

Note: On this specific speaker, a new charge port was installed.

    • Use a plastic spudger/spatula, credit card or something similar to remove the protective mesh.

    • There is a little bit of glue holding the mesh in place. Even so, be careful to not use too much force when removing the mesh to avoid causing damage.

    • Remove the four screws holding the plastic moulding on the end of the speaker.

    • Next, remove the plastic to reveal four more screws requiring removal.

    • You now have access to the motherboard.

    • To make life easier, disconnect the microphone before disconnecting the battery.

    • Remove the two screws securing the white battery cover. Once removed, you will have direct access to the battery.

    Nice tutorial on how to dismantle the device, but what if I want to separate out the power bank part of this device and dump the rest due to worn out speakers. Is it possible to do that? If not, will it still work as a power bank if I simply the wires to the speakers and remove them. I’d rather remove the amplifier as well so that unnecessary power consumption is reduced.

I have the same problem. I think this is a TL model, but I have not been able to find any information on how to correctly remove the end caps. I don’t want to scratch or break anything trying to pop the end caps off.

Thanks so much! I had a broken bit of plastic inside the tube after I left my speaker in my checked luggage and it got smashed around. I followed the instructions and managed to get it out, the speaker is purring again without the annoying ass rattle!! You're a legend my friend. TY

Ce tuto ne concerne PAS le charge 2, mais bien le charge 2+

Le principe d’ouverture est bien différent !

So easy steps to follow. Thank you so much. The guide is really helpful.

It came handy when my boss complained about a fault, so I tried figuring it out, then I googled steps to dismantle, and pop! The video showed up. Really helpful. Thanks
