    • Turn the device over. The D-ring will be on the left face of the speaker when viewing the device from this orientation.

    • Lift the handle on the D-ring and unscrew it.

    • Remove the D-ring.

    • Any repairs made from this point forward will void your device's warranty.

    • Holding the speaker upright, wedge the metal spudger in between the casing and the speaker. Gently pry open the tabs as they are easily broken.

    This part is not easy. The main risk is to broke the plastics clips.

    Use a heat gun (or hair dryer on high) first around the edges before attempting to pry it open. There are six tabs: one directly in line with the charging port; one approx 3/4 inch to the left and right of that tab; one centered against the back of the volume control "panel", and one approx 3/4 inch to either side of that one. So when prying, try to insert your spudger in between those spacings in order to not push on the tabs directly.

    • Find the part of the casing that covers the volume controls. Wedge the metal spudger under this and pry open all of the tabs as in the previous step.

    • Repeat for the bottom of the speaker and pry the casing open with your fingers.

    • This next step involves the use of a hot soldering iron. Remember to be careful during this step since it can be easy to burn yourself.

    • Using a soldering iron, de-solder the two ends of the switch plate.

    Great instructions here guys - just one comment from myself - underneath the plate there is glue holding it down as well as the solder joints. Be sure to heat it up slightly prior to lifting out otherwise the capacitors and other components get stuck in the glue.

    bei mir sieht der blootooth-adapter anders aus. da muss ich nix löten, er ist klein und liegt nur in einer passenden mulde, aus der er herausgehoben und in die er wieder abgelegt werden kann. meine typbezeichnung ist S-00122.

    thomas propp -

    Definitely start with the middle one, has 2 solder hinge points that took me a couple minutes to heat up, wiggle and finally lift up. One that side lifted, was much easier to go back to the edge hinge, heat up and just gently pull off.

    Michael Arvan -

    It is importante to note that there are two large solder hinge points and for the midle to pin point. Easy to desoldering but not easy to soldering after battery replacement.

    • With a metal spudger, pry open the tabs on the speaker sleeve along the length of the speaker.

  9. AkCHJRMYTrWWejjj
    • Use a plastic opening tool to pry the sleeve off from the bottom of the speaker.

    Zuerst auf der Gegenseite zuerst den Deckel, dann die Hülle lösen. Erst am Ende die Seite mit dem Power Button.

    Hans Fuchs -

    Translation: First loosen the cover on the opposite side, then the cover. Only at the end the page with the power button.

    Dan -

    A tips that could be help lot of us. i consider it what not easy to pry the sleeve off. But in fact there are many hole around the side that could be used to push through the holes, the plastic ring retainer.

    Where can I find the replacement USB port for my speaker ue 2

    Armando Fernandez -

    Obviously they're not answering the main question where do you get the part. I sure went through a lot of trouble to stop there

    George Baxter -

    iFixit can't offer every possible part need and the manufacture is the primary entity for parts.

    For many years you could depend on the makers to offer spares some even going back 25 years! Today its bad real bad! 5 years is about it some even less or they just don't offer repair options at all. True the cost of the device also plays a role here as well.

    The only option is to find a dead device to raid it for its parts when you can or hope someone picks up the challenge to create the part independently! That works with popular devices and parts like batteries.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

cheers marius

kok0dora94 -

Same question as above, where can i buy a replacement USB port?

Corbett Hix -

johnsonjohnsonalexalex -

Hi there , can you give me a link to Ebay where to find this port, thanks

katiecrow -

can you send me a link on ebay where to find this replacement port , thanks

katiecrow -

I need to find the USB including the circuit board. My speaker needs that part replaced. Any idea where to get this?

Samuel Abraham -

I would like to mail my speaker in for repairs what's the address? It needs a new port

Mike Stan -

This is a one way street. Don’t bother even trying unless you have tremendous patience.

JASON MCKEE -

Useless info about replacing the USB.

Alan Knowles -

So if i call Logitech and tell them the problem would they replace my megaboom or fix it for me. Cause, mine fell with the charger connected and when it started flying (fell out the window about 3 ft high) it disconnected and broke the USB port on the speaker. Now i ended up throwing away my speakers charging cable but i still have the base it connects to.

Corwin Curlin Jr -

Looking for link to purchase replacement USB charging plate/cover for UE Boom.

Thanks

Paul Gagnon -

Hi - My UE Boom isn’t charging and isn’t turning on at all. Did anyone change the USD port and have it fix a problem like this?

Or do I need to change the battery too?

I would hate to take it apart, attempt to fix the USB and then find out that that wasn’t the issue. :)
