Einleitung

If you are experiencing any audio issues with the higher frequency sounds (the treble) such as distortion, muffling, quietness, or total absence of sound, you may need to replace one or more of your treble speakers.

    • 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.

    • 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.
