Thanks for the upload gave me a heads up as when dismantling my sons units I had to repair the 3.5mm aux input. I just put a put a new cable in with 2 x rca connectors i drilled a hole for the cable on the raised section on the left section for phone storage etc It is built extremely well ! I used to be a engineer for Sony. Undoing that many screws reminded me of some Sony products . And the thing has a great sound!
Thanks for the teardown. Fixing the aux jack in mine - got damaged by someone tripping over a wire. Kept mine outdoors since I bought it 4 months ago... gives off the toxic chemical that is still used instead of citric acid to clean circuit boards - makes me dizzy, nauseated, fingers tingle when brought indoors. Gonna continue the repair outdoors once it warms up a bit. Great product but manufactured without concern for toxins. Our country should ban toxic solvents in consumer products.
Thanks for this vid. Helped me take mine apart as rainwater got in the USB area(not closed properly!!! 😡 and it stopped working. After literally draining water out from the inside and hairdryer, it lives once again...very shocked it works after the amount of water come out 😅 as you know, a ridiculous(good) amount of screws!! 👍
Hi. I know it's like digging up a fossile but a friend of mine have one of those radios and need to replace the power supply. Do you know what size of a barrel plug it uses? It looks like standard 5,5x2,1mm or 5,5x2,5mm but i cant be sure, and i can't measure it myself. Thanks in advance
That's great radio 📻 - the sound is amazing 👏 When I buy it I removed foam from battery compartment -that was mystake -coz when u stend it vertical battery slide out.... or if u ftend radio in this position and ▶️ music 🎶 loud bass 🔊 make battery slide out...
I have this radio! I love this thing. The 2.0 is the same but nicer. The 2.0 has color screen, ability to charge FlexVolt, (and 12V maybe?). But they did change the battery compartment. On the 1.0, you can access the back battery compartment from rear. Anyhoo. Great video. I'm too old to be stripping stuff down! lol
But sadly the 2.0 had a massive design flaw and quality control issues so it's done and buried. I have the 1.0 and already had one side of the speakers die. Unit was replaced under warranty with a new unit.
@@FirstLastOne It does appear they've made good on replacements/possibly a fix. They're still selling "new" on amazon without lots of bad reviews in the last 6 months.
I'm having issues with the dab radio signal which is apparently an issue with this model. Do you think it's possible to upgrade the antenna, maybe fit an external antenna in the slot on the side which would give the antenna some protection?
cool vid. A suggestion........roofing peel and stick on the speaker spider chassis, and around the cutouts for the speakers will definitely tighten up the sound. you can also use it anywhere there is vibration from the speakers.
Excellent radio , only problem is what you mentioned about the battery coming loose if you set it at the ground softly . The only thing that holds the battery in place is a small foam bumper then looses its support of over time
Hey Daniel, I just purchased the Tstak radio and mine has a tough time turning on & off. I assume it's a bad rotary encoder/ power button? Did you ever figure yours out?
@@chrisb6393 Mine just did the same thing. It looks like the PSB That controls the touchpad and volume is fairly easy to replace. I have an image from another teardown. I'm going to contact dewalt this week and see what I can find.
These buttons are pretty easy to replace. You can find replacement ones in old LCD monitors (talking even back to the old 17" ones. They sometimes had the low profile ones) You do need the low profile all metal ones. MOST electronics with short throw buttons will have these. Including old baby toys, sound making toy trucks. (Singing Teddybears do NOT have these)... they really are everywhere around us. Removing the old one can be done with a standard soldering iron ONE LEG AT A TIME (There are four) and just pry up GENTLY with your iron after the solder is melted. NOTE: The prying is the most risky part however as long as you make sure your solder is melted and stays melted while you pry you'll have very little risk of peeling up a trace. As well soldering braid and solder suckers do not clear the solder UNDER the legs so don't waste your time using those unless you feel like it.
Any one notice these can't charge the XR 6AH batteries? I use the 6AH batteries with my saws work great for all day power. Was thinking of modding the battery compartment and phone storage holder it can't hold a plus size phone. The bumper for the battery and the phone compartment seem to take up same space. Might try and cut it out and 3D print a cover for the hole. Thanks for showing how to take this apart.
Hey thanks for posting this, bought mine Dec 2,2015. yesterday (Dec 2, 2018) hit the 3yr mark while at work the base kept cutting off, I just got off the phone with Dewalt service center & was told there's no fixable part on it & they just do a straight swap. they go by the small sticker inside battery compartment with a QR code which tells them the year. Mine started with a V15 which tells them its 2015 so its a paper weight. I will be taking it apart and see if I can solder anything inside.. damnit! radio sounds really good but warranty sucks
Hah, I first thought "wow there's a free battery in there!!!" Great review man, just seeing how damn robust that thing it means I'll get one. Question though : While your CHARGING a battery, does it interfere with radio reception??? Thanks!
Wow I was just wondering the same issue! Mine has never failed me & I love it, but I thought the button had worn out:- turns out like stated you sometimes have to hold in for a few seconds to turn on off. Apart from this it's a great sound with good features.. But dewalt come on surely with the shown build quality you guys could have come up with a better on/off button

For battery issues I glued a small foam cube i had left over from shadow foam inserts i just glued it on center of door

Большое спасибо что показали внутренности 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for this info, my brother in-law has the older version and the subwoofer sounds a little blown so ima tey and check it out and replace it.
Do you think it's possible to replace the dinky power cable to a standard computer power cord if the power supply was internal?
cool vid.
A suggestion........roofing peel and stick on the speaker spider chassis, and around the cutouts for the speakers will definitely tighten up the sound.
you can also use it anywhere there is vibration from the speakers.
What roofing peel ?
Thanks Michael! Nicely done.
Can you do a video showing how to teardown a TSTAK CONNECT RADIO CASE ?
I came here looking for the same thing!
Does anyone have problems with the base ? Mine just don't work any more .. the speaker works but no base someone? And if u do ..Do you fixed ?
Following, mine is the same
@@callumturner3400 you probably have blown the sub.
Same problem here, anyone ever try to replace the speaker in the back? I wonder if you can find an aftermarket speaker for it.
Did you ever find out if you can order the sub?
Excellent radio , only problem is what you mentioned about the battery coming loose if you set it at the ground softly . The only thing that holds the battery in place is a small foam bumper then looses its support of over time
I added more foam to fix the problem.
My one speaker grill is dented how can I repair it, Thanks
Will it work with a Kobalt 24v battery? Dewalt batteries are way to expensive.
Gdzie te 6 glosnikow ??
It’s a good thing
I have a tstak radio which stopped working I wonder if you have came across any problems with them and maybe have a fix?
Hey Daniel, I just purchased the Tstak radio and mine has a tough time turning on & off. I assume it's a bad rotary encoder/ power button? Did you ever figure yours out?
My power button needs replacement or something. Radio has power but power button will not turn on the radio. Any suggestions?
Chris B Pressing and holding doesn’t work? It’s hard to say because I’d hate to tell you to spend money and then have it not resolve the issue.
@@Sunshone7311 no pressing and holding doesn't work. The button doesn't click like the other's. With people plus me have worn out the power button
@@chrisb6393 Maybe worth replacing, depends on the cost. I would try to contact DeWalt and complain because that really shouldn't happen.

My speakers blew after the 3rd or 4th use. Couldn't find the receipt to return it so now I basically have an expensive hunk of plastic.

it says in the manual that it can only work with up to 5AH batteries
Antenna?
Anyone have the problem where it just stays on the tough system radio screen
Charging battery (like 5ah)🔋 in this radio 📻 taking ages....
Dewalt builds em and Milwaukee drill tears em apart! Right on! The dual magnet on the sub is an old trick to increase bass response(very cool).
👍
So to round it up in two words
Hey thanks for posting this, bought mine Dec 2,2015. yesterday (Dec 2, 2018) hit the 3yr mark while at work the base kept cutting off, I just got off the phone with Dewalt service center & was told there's no fixable part on it & they just do a straight swap. they go by the small sticker inside battery compartment with a QR code which tells them the year. Mine started with a V15 which tells them its 2015 so its a paper weight. I will be taking it apart and see if I can solder anything inside.. damnit! radio sounds really good but warranty sucks
Mine won't pick up radio signal any one got any ideas?
My radio works on mains but not on battery any ideas??
Hah, I first thought "wow there's a free battery in there!!!" Great review man, just seeing how damn robust that thing it means I'll get one. Question though : While your CHARGING a battery, does it interfere with radio reception??? Thanks!
I haven't checked that, but my feeling is that it probably would.
Michael Borquez
Do you think you could add a better fm antenna. I just bought the tstak radio and reception is the only thing that i can fault
@@damienparker3541 , I just purchased one as well and have the same problem. Did you ever figure out a solution?
which is a good thing.
is there a hack to make the power button not take 5 SECONDS of HOLDING to turn on and off, it drives me nuts, what a stupid feature
Yeah its a bit annoying, but I do believe its to stop the unit from being accidentally being turned off or on if something is leaning on it.
so no hack?
@@cb7pwn No, and my power button just quit working on me today. Sad, I love the radio and I've worked it hard for 5 years now...

Aslo a good thing, which is a good thing, as you can see, which is not necessarily a good thing.
hahaha... Makita ist good or?
I like Makita, but there tools always look dated even though they are built very well.
Аааааа айфон гавно даже в чемодан не помещается😂😂😂😂
