Introduction

This guide will show you how to replace the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus motherboard. The motherboard is the main circuit board that controls the speakers' key functions, such as Bluetooth connectivity, charging, power, and audio. If your device is experiencing failure to power on, inability to charge, distorted sound, Bluetooth issues, or any controls that might be sensitive, the motherboard may be damaged and may need replacement.

Replacing the motherboard involves small and fragile parts, so be sure to use the correct tools to prevent any damage to the device. Ensure the device is turned off before proceeding with the step-by-step guide.
