Introdução

A very easy component to replace on the Bose Soundlink Flex is the charging port. If your speaker fails to charge, then your charging port might be broken. Otherwise, dust and sediment may have accumulated and needs to be cleaned out. The charging port is USB C, common in most Android devices.

    • Use a heat gun to warm up the device.

    • This will allow for an easier removal of the grille and prevent damage to the device during the replacement. If you do not have access to a heat gun, a hair dryer works as well.

    • Use an iFixit opening tool to pop off the eight clips on the grille.

    • Be patient and do not rush this process as you may otherwise damage the device.

    • Once the clips have been released, the only thing holding the grille on is glue.

    • Apply minimal force and the grille should pop right off the device.

    • Reheat the device to warm up the glue if there is difficulty in removing.

Where did you get the port from ?

asdrubalaburto -

Can we get the link to the charging port so I can purchase one? Mine fell and broke while charging. Appreciate the instructions.Thanks in advance for the link

Rather than replacing the port on the motherboard, I will use a Female USB-C to wire power cable, run it through the hole, and seal it with hot glue, so I will not have to repeat this process. But many thanks for the "way in." so to speak.

Where is Step 8 and/or other steps?

Jaimie Santiago -

Does anyone have a source for the port? Is replacing the m/b the only way other than directly soldering a charging cable?
