Introducción

Replacing the USB cable requires a near-total breakdown of the soundbar, so we only recommend it as a last resort.

    • Use a Jimmy to peel off the screen stuck to the front of the speaker.

    • Start from any corner and use the Jimmy to get under the screen. Once one side lifts up, you can use your fingers to peel the rest off.

    • Be careful to avoid damage to the rest of the speaker and especially to yourself.

    • Don't worry if it tears; use the Jimmy again to peel off the rest.

    • If the small wires coming from the USB cable are disconnected from the board, you'll have to solder them on. We recommend not letting that happen if you can help it.

    • The small wires may be glued to the circuit board. Pry off the glue with the Halberd Spudger.

    • Follow this step if the wires are still connected. If they aren't, skip to the next step.

    • If the wiring to the circuit board seems fine, use a razor or wire strippers to clear the rubber insulation away from the USB.

    • Keep track of the colors! If you connect the wrong wires together, the speaker won't work, and you could ruin the board!

    • After removing the rubber insulation from the smaller wires, remove the access USB.

    • Splice in the new USB and wrap the connection with the colored wires in electrical tape.

    • If you end up with reduced sound quality, you may need to solder after all. Continue to the next step in that case.

    • Follow this step if the wires are not connected.

    • Remove the old USB wiring as best as possible from the circuit board.

    • Try to not be too rough. If needed, use wire strippers to remove the wires.

    • Remember the locations of the color coded USB wires and solder each into their respective places.

    • Take your time. Do not add too much solder; you could potentially fry the board if you do.
