Hey, just wanted to let you know my gratefulness of you putting together this video and accompanying info for this modification, it's definitely a great quality of life mod to keep these beautiful speakers out of landfills. Followed all of the instructions and worked like a charm. I personally spliced the audio in cables through the input plug by the board so that I could try and retain the original AUX (I have a Ipod that goes hand in hand with this generation of SoundsSticks) and I'm happy to say it both audio inputs work now! One modification I personally do is to black out the LED lights both on the Bluetooth board and the SoundSticks because at night the flash blue lights are much too obnoxious! Thanks again for the tutorial!
Sadly the very next day I took it apart one more time to tape over the flashing blue light of the Bluetooth transmitter and somehow nuked something in the power supply for the audio side. For shame. But it was my mistake. Maybe sloppy soldering on my part.
@@NYKWHY If you still have them, follow the trace to see what needs replacing, if its the power supply its self, you can easy modify to allow for a laptop style charger to be used.
Thanks for your video, my nephew was putting some paper into my Soundstick III mainbody. I have to open it to clean those rubbish, but I don't know how to pick screws out, you gave me a nice idea with scissor.
After ordering all the parts, I realized that I have the original Soundsticks. It looks like your mod would still work, but will be a little different. I would need to find the R/L/G connection after the DAC (I think) and then a similar power connection to power the BT receiver.

@@aae3039 thank you once again. So I will try it and will let you know soon... but have to wait for the party’s first which take a lot of time to be delivered...lol
The one you said get In the picture WS7805 is that one you cut out of the Harmon? Or did you order that? And if so where? Because there is 3 items I must get in that photo you showed

just got an old wired version. these sound great but miss the bluetooth. thanks i will give it a try!!
Don’t try it if you’re not a geek
You can simply buy an aux-to-Bluetooth adapter
Love the video, please can you give a small wiring diagram for the 0.1uf and call.01?

I think that by combining your information with the information here: wiki.logre.eu/index.php/Soundsticks_USB_vers_jack I can make it work. Thanks.
@@rustylingenfelter5756 In this version, you can use + 5V from USB without 78L05.
did the mod manage to work on your original soundsticks?
@@gavinng8958 I have not tried it yet. I just picked up a Soundsticks II and I am going to learn on that one
could you plug a 3.5 jack to bluetooth adapter instead?
Thanks bud!!!!
I have an opposite problem, can i REMOVE (disable on hardware level) a bluetooth from Soundsticks III?
สวัสดีค่ะ พอดีมี Soundlink II อยู่เหมือนกันค่ะ อยากทำให้ต่อ bluetooth ได้ พี่รับทำไหมคะ ขอบคุณมากค่ะ
Great mod! Can you please share the link for the capacitors? The yellow one in the image you have added.
Why are they needed ?
Can you do this with the sound sticks 1? They're USB only and my PC doesn't recognize them and I can't find any drivers
legendary video, cool chicken
Eu tenho um son desses mas está com o cabo cortado eu não sei as coris dos fios de liga o som
Do you think if I put a female Bluetooth key on mine who have no 3.5mm Jack but only USB it will works ?
thank you very much 👌🏼
My problem is the 2 prong junction to the speakers. There's a short in there. Can I cut that off too? Seen at 3:11 above.
I think I have the SAME problem where I get sound from only ONE side!!
Will install be the same with soundsticks III (3)?
Can you pl send me the link where to get the 78L05 ? I like your video very much.

So you can't connect speakers via 3.5 jack anymore? Bluetooth only?
Could you upload how to fix the blue led of the Soundsticks 2? My led lost the light.
what's the point if the sticks are still wired into the Sub?
Is there a way to mod out the speakers but keep the subwoofer?
My speakers went out but want to know if i can wire up other speakers but still use the subwoofer bluetooth?
how to get dead flies out of woofer?
Can I send u mine to upgrade it!!!!? It only has sound from ONE side and the Speaker w the Positive / Negative dials does not work!
Can you do this hack on a soundstick I with a usb cord?
Hi,
Do you know where i can buy the power supply unit?
