the 'pull-apart' step at about 3:15, thanks to this video knowing it's not clipped or screwed together but GLUED together- I found it kind of easy (and less dangerous) to carefully use needle-nose pliers gripping the screw pilot hole on the battery side ('on the power button end'), pulling apart, getting a bite and carefully prying from there. Thanks for posting this video! Also- there seems to be a connector in the very corner of the board that comes apart when you pull apart the shells at this step- so if you don't need to totally separate the shells maybe don't. Good luck.
As a side note, when screwing the screws back it, it is really easy to over-tighten them! The plastic seems to be quite soft. So make sure not to use a whole lot of force.
Good instructions, worked well. Thanks man, the screw below the battery is a bummer. Now I have to replace the USB port, hope I can desolder it. Need a new one first, there are different fixation types.
I need to replace my micro USB port, too, since it stopped taking a charge. Do you know how I could upgrade it to something that would take the water/ice/slush mix? Do I need the data pins connected for it to take a charge? I use mine in my bike water bottle holder and it died far too young. I was thinking of even putting a small cable sticking out of it. Anything as long as its waterproof this go around. I bought a photive hydra in the meantime which is extremely well made (IP65) unit & better for water but nowhere near the bass of the JBL unit. Doesn't fit very well in the water bottle holder either.
+John Possum Hi, I was looking for a waterproof solution just like you and ended up with the JBL Clip2. But that one also does not quite have the bass. The Charge3 is now waterproof but I don't want to spend the money right now. As for the USB port, you should only have to connect the power ports for it to charge up the battery. I'm also wondering if it might've something else wrong since there may be a lot of impact on it (depending on where you're riding). Maybe a solder joint got loose. Good luck with the repair. It would be interesting to hear back once you fixed it.
+Ed Hernandez As far as I know the Pulse speaker is pretty difficult to disassemble. There is a lot of glue involved in the assembly process. It might be possible to get to the USB socket without completely destroying the speaker, but I am not sure.
My friend gave me this kond of speaker because his not using it for a long time like 5years. The problem ia i cant pair the bluetooth to my iphone? Did i have to reset it? How can i reset it? So i can use it to my phone ty for the answer
The speaker should appear on the Bluetooth settings menu as soon as you press the pairing button the speaker. The LED on the speaker should start blinking in blue and red.
+Yo Ceroolll I'm most often wiping it off with a microfiber towel. That gets rid of most of the dirt and dust. If there's dust in the speaker, I'd carefully try a vacuum.
There is reason this has to be THAT difficult why do they make crap this hard? The battery should have a cover on the back and the connections with that...Done! 2 minutes such BS.....
So many things are this way now. Automobiles are even worse and cost exorbitant amounts of money to fix some are very minor fixes that should only take a few minutes to replace.
Nice tear down, but this is somewhat dangerous. Managed to ruin mine trying to replace the bat. No obvious damage but the sound is dead. They glue the snot out of speakers so they don’t rattle. Hard glue was connecting the PA of the circuit board to the back cover. Prying the cover off probably damaged one of the components.

From Brazil, thank you very much for all the tips... was really useful 👌
Good instructions, worked well. Thanks man, the screw below the battery is a bummer.

the glued part comes off easy if you heat it a bit . I used 150C heat gun to warm it up
Stabbed myself with a screwdriver twice, but got it open. Thanks!
Thank you. Very much. ☺

Signs that you need to replace the Battery are?
When the battery won't hold a charge or it is empty after using it for short time only.
Thank's
how do you clean this unit in terms of dust ??

High pressure air duster canister you can buy them at most computer accessories outlet!! Good luck 🍀🐈
My very first video was of opening up a Charge. I actually show in my video what is under the circuit board.
I need to replace my micro USB port how would I do that
You would have to remove the daughter board and then unsolder the bad USB port from it.
My jbl is not coming off what do I do
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

+D Kat Agreed,
Looks like they are trying to make difficult so most people just buy a new one instead of fixing what you already have.
So many things are this way now. Automobiles are even worse and cost exorbitant amounts of money to fix some are very minor fixes that should only take a few minutes to replace.

Completely ruined a good speaker with a knife!
Don't worry, the speaker is doing great!
Just kidding!! Great tutorial for me as well, my battery is sort of acting weird :/
