Einleitung

If you notice any major damage to your charging port that prevents you from charging your device, you may need to replace your charging port.

    • Use a spudger to pry the rubber pads off of the bottom panel of the SoundLink.

    • The rubber pads should have enough adhesive to stick when you reassemble them at the end. If not, however, you may need your own adhesive.

    • Remove the two 12.5 mm screws using a Phillips #2 screwdriver.

    • These screws may be difficult to remove. If necessary, use a lever for extra torque.

    • Remove the bottom panel.

    easy peasy. great instructions!

    couple things: 1. you dont need to remove the rubber pads completely; just enough to get the screws in & out. 2. if you get a small screw driver with the battery, its crap. use your own.

    thank you ifixit for another great tutorial.

    My SL III battery lasted nearly 8 years with almost daily use—but recently stopped holding a charge for more than 15-20 minutes. Replacement was super easy so thanks for posting. Bose quality is exceptional as always!

    • Gently peel back the adhesive padding on either side of the inner back panel.

    • The adhesive for these pads is powerful, but you may require new adhesive if the original begins to fail.

    • Remove four screws from each of the four speakers (16 screws total) using a Torx #10 screwdriver.

    • All screws (excluding the two middle screws on the right side) are 12.5 mm in length. The aforementioned middle screws are 21 mm.

    • Use a metal spudger to pry the device apart. You must use a metal spudger because of the great force necessary to pry it apart.

    • The circuitry for the buttons on the top panel may be found underneath, so use caution not to damage it.

Hello, This is an excellent resource. One thing, you did not say, or I did not see, where to purchase the actual usb port. Where can I locate one and this would be for a Bose Soundlink II.

Thank you,

Jim

Jeroen Knip -

Also would love to know where to purchase the required replacement MicroUSB Port. I'm searching and if I find anything compatible I will contact anyone else who posts to this thread.

Bridgetown Electronics Repair -

Where can you get the part?

Shari -

Hi.

Excellent step-by-step. Just the same question as the rest please

Aaron Popple -

Agree with the rest of the comments about the instructions. I am writing from Mallorca, Spain, and I was just talking to the Bose service provider here and they were telling me the Soundlink III battery problem is common. The price for a new battery installed is around 140€ which for a product that costs between 250€- 290€ is nothing but normal. Lithium batteries and their useful life, nobody tells you about it when you buy their product.

ATM -

ATM the issue is the charging port. Now part of these instructions will get you to battery you can buy a battery on Ebay or amazon $40.+usd make sure the battery is oem 2330mAh -same if you order from Alibaba.com/aliexpress .i buy/sell/repair mini I/ii/& the iii

bookbundler -

I am also looking for a part. The instructions are irrelevant if a part is not available.

James Nowicki -

Parts for the sound link iii check Ebay/mouser/also once it’s out check some stereo shops -again Alibaba.com/Ali express

bookbundler -
