- A teardown and repair of the JBL Flip 3 portable bluetooth speaker.
I repair a broken USB charging plug and show you how!
The USB socket I used was from ebay. Just search for 'micro USB 4 vertical legs' and you'll see the parts.

Helped a poor soul out here today. Thanks so much
It's great to have people who are passionate about repairing gadgets, especially in today's culture of disposable electronics. I just got a brand new Flip 3 and stumbled upon this video. Nice, clear and interesting even to someone like me who doesn't do repairs.
almost made me cry, same has happened to my red one but i dont have any equpiment necessary for the repair, none the less beautiful repair man.
richard hernandez Look if there is a repair cafe Ort something ist in your Neal, normale these guys are very helpful
There are some cheap soldering kits out there for like 10 dollars or 7 pounds
Hey there, mate. You have no idea how thankful I am that you've got this video for me to find and watch! I exclusively purchased two of these Jbl Flip 3 not even a year ago through the biggest apple store here at the country I currently live. After 4 months or so when my guarantee period had already ended, I started to struggle to properly charge the speakers because of the connector--- its teeth were gradually getting damaged. I use many devices at home and they all have the same or similar charger , so I never really care which one corresponds to which. They all seem to charge all, plus I was told that it didn't matter, so I was good. Point is, after both charging connector were just too ruined to ever charge again, I took them to several places for them to be repaired, but most of them said that they couldn't do anything, and that this device is recycling to be used once and so I needed to buy new ones as last and only alternative... Now this video of yours I'll shut them up for being useless technicians to even try to find out the solution to this small problem. I'll be buying the USB charging on ebay for replacement and then I'll be taking the speakers to the stores again for evidence and demonstration very soon . Cheers!
It seems this might be a semi-common problem....
I'm happy I could help out! :)
Hey I have Jbl charge 3 and when I was charging it and pulling the charger out the micro usb teeth broke. Do you think what warranty can change it or is it like sort of my mistake and I will need to pay money for repair:) Waiting for answer. Hope to hear from you soon :)))
it' will be a common problem with charge 3 because of rubber cover, which presses down a usb cable. It would be wise to pushing it down with scotch tape or another kind. But I also just bending out the cover and prop up a speaker on it.
Buy www.connector4all.com/fr/micro-usb/8-jbl-flip-3-micro-usb-charging-port-connector.html
Thank you as well. I'm new to soldering and probably won't attempt it.
To those who have asked:
Unfortunately we aren't set up to do repairs. We recommend taking it to a local electronics / mobile phone repairer and even showing them this video if they are unsure of what's involved. Good luck and thanks for the interest! :)
NFM hey i was wondering how much u charge to fix my jbl flip 3 its the same problem i dont cant do it myself if u can plz text me back that will be thankfull
where you buy Charging Socket Port from
I DID THE SAME
Sometimes the inductor doesn't get installed all the way. If you don't have any sound push it down and see if when you turn it on it plays the on tune.
Fixed an issue with the buttons no longer responsive (case too tight) thanks to your vid. Cheers!
Thank you very much for posting this. The tip on how to remove the outer cloth cover was great, down hill from there! My son left ours in a cooler full of water and it was no longer working. Of course it had water in it after disassembling, but after hitting the control board with some electronic cleaner and some air, it turns on and appears to work properly! I'm going to leave it disassembled for a couple of days so the main area dries out, but there appears to be a reasonable chance that it's saved. Our model is newer and slightly different, but close enough that this was still extremely helpful.
yay, you are my hero. I have a UK version of the JBL 3 and it has less screws. only the four at the ends mainly for what i needed to sort.
the clip on grill has a slot clip one end and two clips the other.
My issue is my on/off button stopped working and i assumed the clicky button had worn out.
I soon found the cause, they had used hot melt glue inside the speaker and during the unusually hot weather recently in the UK had melted this hot melt and it had run down and over the on/off button.
once the heat died down the button no longer worked.
All i had to do was carve off the now solid hot melt and clicky works again. , reassembled and happy.
Great instruction! And stil valid.. Mine dropped and sound was gone.. could connect and charge.. but not even the intro sound. Turned out to be the 1R5 block on the board, it was completely broken off but no further damage. When I pushed it back in place, tada sound was back. Bit of superglue and problem solved!
Where is this guy from I would love for him to repair mine and I'll play him
+Bennet Carrillo I'm in Japan, so probably a long way away unfortunately.....
A relative did the same to mine, got the charger all munched up. I guess she was expecting an iPhone connector. Sadly I don't have the money to get a soldering iron and a hot glue gun right now, otherwise i'd fix this thing right now with your video. thanks for taking the time mate!
I have problem with battery. Please make a video to replace battery and also please tell me where to find this particular battery...
ive just made a huge rant about this speaker!! they keep sending me faulty ones!!! any tips!?
Ebay $20 buddy
Great video and explanation but can you show the de-soldering and re-soldering, how do you stop the solder from connecting to the next pin? These micro USB connectors are tiny
I like your way dude, pure and simple, with no ads or useless talking, if you keep this up you will be able to compete with jerryrigeverithing ,good luck k bro
Please help the 2 clips near the buttons on mine broke off! Can someon please help? i was super careful while opening it, i got the charging working but now the clips are broken please help someone!
glue :)
Instead of de and re-soldering that little piece is it possible to just buy that whole piece? Or scavenge it from another unit? I have this exact problem, but would not be able to accomplish the soldering.
If it's under a year old and it's a legitimate JBL product you can actually call Harman kardon now and give them a certain identification number that they will ask you for and with no questions asked they will send you a brand new speaker end a container and shipping label for return shipping on the defective unit. My turnaround time looks like 6 days they were surprisingly easy deal with regarding the manufacturer's warranty
What do you mean legitimate is there that many freaking knockoffs going around
It would have been cool if you mentioned what voltage and AMPs the unit charges at when new or after replacing the part.
I did this. It indicates that the unit is charging. But Even with the bat showing 80% the unit dies while playing music.
When I charge it. It only charges at 5 volts .2 amps.
Technique Question: I see in another repair video the USB connector was removed by using a soldering station heat gun that used hot air on the rear side of the PCB, heated it, until the connector slipped off.
Do you recommend that technique, or no?
hey mate, the channel "dope electronics" uploaded your video. with exact the same title.
Thanks for the heads up! I've notified youtube.
Please let me know if you see any more around the place. :)
NFM check out reverse engineer channel. they got uploaded the 1st part of this video
Thanks! It's really appreciated! :)
My dad left this exact speaker after he passed with the exact problem of the damaged USB port thanks for the tutorial 🙏
In a word "Excellent"
Over videos seen were hacks and bodges and not a proper repair. No madding music in the background too
Thanks! I really appreciate it, and am glad you found it useful. :)
I tried this repair but when I attempted to pull the wires and white plastic connectors things appeared more complicated. The wires to the headphone jack and USB are very short. Maybe I should have tried to remove the solder first but that seemed tricky. This step in the video was skipped over.
Do you know if you can buy a new board with the micro USB port? It would be interesting to know if the part number can be bought separately.
Well done, thank you. Your video is amazing. Love the attention to detail. Liked!
4:45 my flip3 has not a part unscrew. its a solid peace oc plastic. tried to change the battery, but i cant get it out. on the right side, where the battery is plugged, i cant get it out because there is the cable from the buttons over it..
5:49 That Rubber on the other side can be removed, and there you can remote the flexcable
Will it keep it's water proof capability after taking just the speaker grill out and reassemble?
Hello!
What is the model of microswitches (construction with micro switch buttons) that are responsible for enabling column, lowering and raising the volume, call answer button (pause), and pairing pairing mode with other speakers JBL Flip 3?
i have a flip 2 that the micro usb port came loose can you make a video on how to put a new one? how did you glue the micro usb port?
Carlos Guadiana
Finding a professional with the expertise to do this would involve paying them for at least an hour of their time which would be more costly than the item being repaired. On the other hand, if an amateur is willing to take maybe two or three hours of their own time....and they have more time than money and are sufficiently skilled, talented, and motivated.......then that's great. Of course, all of these situations could be totally avoided if the plug was initially designed to be idiot-proof so you could not accidentally repeatedly put it in backward. Your friend is lucky to have you. On the other hand, 3/4 of a million people have viewed this, I suspect/hope you will have been well compensated. : )
No todas las baterías salen ,algunas vienen pegadas y es difícil sacarlas por su calentamiento se inflan Y no todos los altoparlantes así sean la misma marca se abren de igual manera
Just watching this as mine wouldn't charge, luckily I've managed to re-align the bent pins, but it would look likely for a repair at some point in the near future... how feasible would it be if I'm doing this repair to fit an apple charging port or new style USB-C port?
I broke the component beside the audio input connector label L205C804 while replacing the USB connector in my JBL Flip3. I connected JBL, but their customer support said that they don't have any documentation for the Flip 3 internals. The part can't be a capacitor because it is in series with the input power. It could be an inductor. Does anyone know anymore about the part?
please do a jbl charge 3 disasemble video,so i can take out the battery,because my jbl charge 3 dosent turn on even if its charged.
Carlos Guadiana the batteries are under the rubber foot
Michel Bashalany yes i know, but how to i take it off the jbl charge 3.
Michel Bashalany i really need help on removing the battery of the jbl charge 3.
ive just made a huge rant about this speaker!! they keep sending me faulty ones!!! any tips!?
it maybe the issue i had, hot melt glue inside runs down onto the on/off switch if it gets hot enough. you need to pop it open and remove said glue.
You skipped bit where you do soldering to this tiny 5 pins. Why? I was waiting for this bit and u skipped it. Do I have to solder each pin separately?
i have the jbl flip 3 same like this one and it has the same problem and i don't know if should i fix it or give it to somebody pro because i don't have the equipments
Hi my ribbon cable connecting to the power button is kinda damaged when I was doing a battery change. Do you know if that is easily replaceable?
Really helped me there.. Battery was running down pretty fast. Didn't know how to open the device.
This was super helpful. Nice to see how to open the speaker. My speaker's USB port looks fine and it will start charging. However, it will not continue charging, It keeps starting and stopping. What would the most likely reason for this issue?
Hi there - mine hasnt worked since i dont know when, but when i plug it in a charger, the light turns on. But doesnt connect nor is responsive. When i take it out from the charger, it just shuts down. Any fix for this, you know? Appreciate it.
What kind of screwdriver did you use to unscrew the ones on the two sides where there are 6 on each side? I have Philips #1/#0/#00 but they all slip on those screws, even though they worked fine on the ones at the two ends
Could you do a video of how we could change the battery please... Mine keeps turning off as soon as I turn it on.. It turns on for just a mili second then it turns straight off after... Probably a battery thing right?
Great video, considering attempting the repair myself. Been a while since I've handled a soldering iron, bit worried about damaging the circuit board.
Bit late for this comment, but this advice applies to anyone that's not too confident in soldering. Use high heat, and leaded solder. Use more solder than you think you need. Always apply heat and solder to the part directly, do not apply solder to the iron except initially to aid heat transfer, and again after you clean the tip. Keep heating times as low as possible, without creating cold joints (malformed or very little gloss). Apply extra flux if you like, and always use solder with a flux core, rosin, not acid flux. If the finished joint has black specks, you've cooked the flux, reduce heat a little and try to be faster. Wipe the board down with an electronics/flux cleaner after you're finished.
mines not charging...
but my chargers works fine on phones.
what could be the problem?
nice teardown btw.
makes me want to repair mine by myself.
Hello, does this necessarily have to be the USB connector of a JBL flip 3, or we can use that of a phone for example ?
Hello I live in Brazil I would like to know if you know where I find this battery of JBL FLIP3. Follow the model P763098 03 3.7v 3000mah 11.1 lithium polymer. Grateful!!!!!!
Same problem here, did you find a battery yet?
the battery of my JBL flip 3, died a year later. I can not find it...
Cant find the same at aliexpress, at alibaba I think they have such batteries, but you have to order minimum 5 or 10 pieces.
Eduardo, o modelo da bateria é esse aí mesmo? Vou tentar dar um choque na bateria antes de procurar, aliás você encontrou para vender aqui no BR?
Very good explanation, which is helpfull in my case. Thing is, the pcb board is smashed. I did find the usb-port online, only to find out there are more problems. Any idea how to find this particular pcb?
Is there a way to convert this speaker into a micro-usb powered one that‘s on when it‘s plugged in?
Excelente vídeo!
Resolveu o meu problema. Fiz o reparo com a segurança da certeza de saber exatamente o que estava fazendo!
Muito obrigado!
Abraço!
Great video! thanks for sharing this with us...
I ripped of the USB/AUX protective flap off, will it affect the splashproof-ness of it? looks like it would.
Same issue - job done. Thanks for taking the time to film and share :)
THE PRONG WHERE I PLUG MY CHARGER ON THE HBO FLIP3 BLUETOOTH IS DAMAGED AND WON'T CHARGE. HOW DO I FIX THIS PROBLEM?
what r ur suggestions on fixing a monster blaster...when im switching it on, it givs a kind on like a radio screeching sound....some of the music is coming out, but its covered by the radio screeching sound...need help bro.
Interesting video man!
Hey I've got a question! I have the same problem, and I think I'm not the only one. But how did you solder those super mini five solder pins behind the micro USB port? The four pins on the sides are not that difficult, but how do you prevent that the solder pins don't hit each other?
Thank you!
A steady hand, a small amount of solder and a fine soldering tip will do it.
If you do bridge the pins with solder, some solder wick or a solder sucker can be used to remove the excess solder but leave enough for the pins to stay attached.
Wonderful and helpful vid, but the question is... with all costs, labor, shipping, time, and parts, what’s the comparison cost to just buying a new one???
They're is a guy on ebay that fixes this same issue for @ $26 shipped.
mine was dropped. and the right treble speaker was damaged. where can i buy the replacement treble speaker?thanks
If you twist the end clock wise it can be removed making the little plugs accessible!
I have the same jbl speaker but I don't have time to fix it where can I go so they can fix it?
Great video. I have same problem but not your skills or equipment. I suspect this is a stupid question, but with the right usb cable, is it wired to charge through the aux jack?
Nah, unfortunately it only charges through the USB jack.
Hi Mate I have a similar speaker which has been dropped. I can hear something rattling about have you came across that before?
Mine has tons of white noise at 10%-20% volume. Is that normal? Impossible to listen to podcasts until asleep.
The passive radiators and speakers pop out when the speaker is left outside because the air inside the unit is heating up and expanding. Since the speaker is sealed it prevents the inside air from equalizing with the outside air. JBL should maybe Incorporate some kind or pressure relief valve into future units.
I own a flip 3 in black. It's probably the best sounding BT speaker I've owned to date, I don't intend to leave mine out in the sun or anything, but the issue with the unit being affected like that has possibly been corrected since most videos talking about it are from last year.
I have 2 JBL Flip 3 speakers and I love them! Unfortunately, I left one in the trunk of my car and the one of the speakers now has the distortion problem. Hopefully I can fix it because I really liked using them as a pair for outdoor activities
tnx for usefull info
Guys pls help!! My old battery is stuck into the speaker can’t get it out bcuz of the glue inside. Any tips how to remove it?
And there is a another version of Flip 3 that does not comply with this teardown and I would say that version is not repairable as the USB-jack is glued in with massive amount of elastic glue and there are different connectors.
You skipped the hardest part of the tutorial.. desoldering the metal out.. how??
bassel97m exactly
we have to use heat gun
if you are going to a walkthrough of how to use basic knowledge, it shouldn't be expected to include the basic knowledge itself. if you want to work with electronics you learn it. I'll steer you helpless souls slightly.
ask your parents or friends, instead of youtube comments. you'll get an answer more worthwhile, and way fuckin faster. That sometimes isn't possible, or it's your last resort, so just ask google, or the youtube search function. like, how to desolder.
The proof of my statements are easily obtainable by the lack of info in the thread, and by doing exactly what i said. if you try it, it WILL work, barring really stupid stuff.
bassel97m He used either a desoldering wick or a desoldering iron. A desoldering iron would be the best thing to use in this situation but, a solder wick would be a much cheaper way if you don't have a desoldering iron.
@@nicewhenearnedrudemostlyel489 Yet you're watching the same video lol
Could you please help identify the components on the Flip 3 charge board located at C801 and C802.
On the board I am repairing the usb these where knocked off and are lost.
Sorry, I don't have the Flip3 with me anymore. I was repairing it for a friend and he has it now.
About the speaker's glue coming off in the heat, don't you think it could be fixed by re-gluing it?
+Stingray Shark Maybe with a steady hand... It would be pretty fiddly to do but worth a try if it's already broken anyway. :)
apart from these being sold on ebay what is the actual part number of this USB?
What do you think of me using the red and black wires out to a coaxial plug instead of usb? I won't be worrying about the data.
As long as you make sure to only use a 5V power supply, and get negative and positive the correct way around, it should work fine.
@@NearFarMedia thank you. Yeah, I don't want to fuss with pins and I've got 5v sources. Thank you.
When it is charge it is working when the charger is removed it doesn't working then charging shows fully. Give me solution such a problem
Very useful instruction. I had the same problem but built an alternative solution. Instead of replacing the micro USB connector I rebuilt the existing Line-in connector to a "Power in" port. If you connect a 3.5 mm jack to the USB cable, be sure to use a 3 way jack and leave the middle contact unused to prevent short circuit when plugging in the jack.
Yes, you loose the audio-in port, but I never use it anyway.
Frank Zandee, can you please go into detail on how to do your alternative solution please. I'm with you, I never use the audio IN. I like your idea, you would never have to mess with it again. Thank you for the post.
Hi Harold, I followed the instruction video from NFM but I found it very difficult to get loose the white 4 pin connector (power) and the white 3 pin connector (audio-in) without damaging the lanes on the print.
In the end I managed. Next I used a multi-meter to measure which pin of the audio-in connector on the print connects to the tip of a plugged in 3.5mm jack and which pin to the base of the 3.5mm jack.
Next I soldered two wires on the identified contacts of the line-in connector on the print and connected the two wires to the red and black wire on the 4 pin white connector.
I left the original 3 pin white connector loose as it has no purpose anymore. You can also leave the original 4 pin white connector loose since it now connects via the two wires to the print. Then I put back the print in the original position and reassembled the unit. As a last step I soldered a 3.5mm jack to a USB cable. Make sure that you connect the tip of the 3.5mm jack to + and the base to -
Hope this helps.
Frank Zandee , thank you for the quick response. I will give it a shot. Happy New Year to you man, I appreciate the help.
Frank, I did it your way and it was an excelent desicion. Thanks for the explanation!!
My pleasure Juan. Glad I could help!
Can sameone help me i have jbl flip 3 stealth and i did factory reset and my jbl flip 3 wont turn on
um...great video, but just one question... why you drill the board instead of cut the little rod off the connector....
So the rod will provide more support to help prevent the USB port from breaking so easily.
my jbl flip 3 doesn't have the screws where yours are
snap here too. onyl had the end screws.
where i can take the usb port i had the same problem...i wqs searching but not founding...
Hi, you will fix my jbl 3 speaker. Your easy job
Is there any way I can send my jbl in and you guys can fix it, I have the exact same problem (please reply asap)
Best video on YT for dissa on a Flip 3. Thanks, NFM !!
Dubstep --- Turn that CRAP off!!!
Nice
hi, can you replace it with a usb-c instead?
do we really have to take everything off like you did the speakers etc?
Excellent work, great video!
Considering the micro usb is only used for charging, would it still work with only pins 1 and 5 soldered or does it still need all five pins? Thanks
It will probably work, but the mechanical strength would be compromised by not soldering all the pins so I don't recommend soldering only pins 1 and 5.
@@NearFarMedia It was more of a theoretical question. Just interested to know if that was even possible. Cheers buddy 😉
Is it easy to replace the 1R5 inductor mentioned in 9:45 ?
where do i get one of those inductor´s ?
Is there a part number for the usb port board, soldered connector and all? Don't think I'd manage the intricate soldering required to repair my own. Is there a chance that the little charging/headphone jack board is connected to the main board via a plug?
+M Alc I don't think you'll find spare parts from JBL.... I found the speakers to be unobtainable so far...
NFM aye, I've had a bit of a time trying to source. currently scoring eBay for other broken devices but so far there is nothing in the UK that might work. cheers.
a year later and my broken speaker is beyond the point of working. Time for me to nut up and fix it. On second viewing it doesn't really look too difficult...might need a needle point for my soldering iron though.
Cheers
Thanks for the wonderful video.Do you know the app. size of the battery, or at where can we buy a spare?
NFM, great teardown. Quality info, no BS... Much appreciated! Quick question.... Is the microphone the small circle to right of speakers? i.e the end opposite the charging port, front side (opposite the buttons), and to bottom right of right speaker? trying to figure placement for best voice pickup. Thank you!
Yes, just took apart my own Flip 3 to check.
You are a bloody genius. I can't do this, but I can at lease send a link to the repair guy & say see!!!!
My son only had this for 3 weeks before we stood on the USB unit while charging & munted it. Chur
Great video! I have one question, can you buy the whole USB board, to eliminate all the soldering?
I don't know how to solder and have no proper equipment, so I am also interested if entire board can be purchased and replaced.
Hi !
Please write the exact battery model, full name with the voltage and capacity?
Hi where can find that screwdrivers??
This was so satisfactory to watch! I don't know why, but you just made fixing devices my new obsession :))))
Nice repair
I have one, thanks for the teardown info.
were I can find the connector? I need productor and code... RS components has got it ? Best regards
Sorry, I have the same problem and I tried to get off this small circuit board from the connection, but it doesn't work.. The problem is, that the solder doesnt really melt and therefore my desoldering can not work.. How did you get that?
It's lead free solder, so it needs a bit more heat than normal solder.
I add normal solder and use a solder sucker to remove the old stuff then gently work the connector out.
IIRC it is glued down a bit too, so you'll have to remove or cur the glue too.
60W Power is ok?
You'll have to be careful that you don't lift the traces off the PCB with that much power.
I've got a JBL Charge 2+ and it wont charge because the port is too loose. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks in advance
