Follow this guide to replace the charging case USB‑C board for your Pixel Buds 2a headphones.

If the connection in your charging case port is loose or the case won't charge, you may need to replace the USB‑C board.

Before starting this repair, clean the port and test it again to make sure the issue wasn't just caused by a dirty port.

    • Slide the main body of the charging case completely out of the bottom shell, inserting a fingernail in the seam near the top of the case to create an initial gap.

    • If you're having trouble, use the flat end of a spudger to start the initial gap.

    • Grip the small green tab on the back of the charging case and pull the battery out of its recess.

    • Use the small tab to peel up and remove the silicone dust cover from the bottom of the charging case.

    • If you're having trouble, use a spudger to begin lifting the cover.

    • During reassembly, press the dust cover into place. It has a small lip that fits around the USB-C board. Work around the perimeter to make sure it's fully seated—there should be no large gaps.
