Einleitung
If the charge port in your Jambox has been lost or is not functioning properly, then these are the steps necessary for its replacement. This guide will require minimal soldering.

-
Remove both end caps by putting a plastic opening tool in the center of the seam. Work around the edges to pry the end caps off completely.
-
-
-
Turn the Jambox upside down. Peel the indicated rubber tabs off, using a plastic opening tool if necessary.
-
Remove the three T6, 7.0 mm screws under each rubber tab.
-
-
-
With the Jawbone logo facing towards you and with correct orientation, place the Jambox with the left end cap facing upward.
-
Unscrew indicated T6 9.7 mm screws.
-
Gently loosen the tabs from their anchor points so the bottom may be removed.
-
Flip the Jambox so the other end cap is facing up. The USB cable is on this side (metal grounding clip, indicated in orange). Repeat the above two steps.
-
-
-
Pry up the bottom panel by lifting from the device.
-
Pull the bottom up. This may take a bit of force as the bottom is glued to device.
-
Once removed, the battery will now be visible.
-
-
-
Once all eight screws are removed, pry the sides of the Jambox to lift the body from it's shell.
-
-
-
With the battery facing forward, remove the three indicated T6 9.5 mm screws.
-
Once the screws are removed, lift up the small plastic plate, revealing the auxiliary board underneath.
-
-
-
Turn the Jambox so that the button panel is visible.
-
Remove the indicated screws, T6 9.6 mm.
-
-
-
Remove the colored ribbon that connects the green button circuit board to the blue auxiliary board by using your finger to lift the small black tabs that clamp down the ribbon.
-
-
-
Remove the indicated T6 7.4 mm screw holding the auxiliary board in place.
-
Carefully lift the auxiliary board up and off to the side.
-
-
-
With the auxiliary board removed, use a soldering iron to heat the metal keeping the charge port (indicated on image) intact.
-
Remove the charge port from the auxiliary board.
-
-
-
The new charge port will need to be soldered to the logic board. For an exact match use Digi-Key part number CP-018HPJCT-ND

With a multimeter, test all 3 PCB contacts to determine which are positive, negative and ground. Similarly, ascertain each terminal of your "new" charger port and its corresponding PCB contact. Your "new" port can be a brand-new, identical replacement or a salvaged one of approximate size, post thickness and terminal orientation.
-
Unless an identical part replacement, you may have to bend your ports terminals in order to make proper contact and'or enlarge the panel opening for the AC plug as I did. To avoid repeat part failure, I hot-glued my charger port onto my PCB after reinforcing my port's terminals with thicker wire and generous solder.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Skip steps 8, 9 and 10 by simply releasing the ribbon cable from the Power PCB side instead of the Button PCB side. WORKS!
how can i know the auxilar bord's code?
Good instruction!
Problem is that the C14 got snapped off too! Not sure if it is really needed. Possible to get the complete board?
Fred -
I lost C14 as well, anyone have a good replacement number for that?
Jason -
FYI the device will charge and power on without this capacitor. Not sure if it is needed for USB or 3.5mm output, but I don't really care about either of those scenarios.
Jason -
Can someone show the clips please in a photo?
