Problem with connect AC/DC.

I bought another AC adapter, same thing, do not connect. I guess the charging port on the speaker may loose. I hope I can up date a picture. When I just plug in a adapter, nothing happened. Then I push the head of the wire up, It was connected. How can I fix this? or open this part?

Hi,

Here is a not very good video which shows how someone replaced the batteries in a A33. While that is not your problem I know, what it does show , at 2 seconds into the video (do not miss it - pause the video) is that you can gain access to the unit by unscrewing a panel from the bottom and also that the batteries are plugged in via a connector (this is shown later), so that you can disconnect them, making it safer (prevent electrical problems occurring) while you are working on it.

Hopefully with the panel off you will be able to see how to gain access to the DC power socket to effect repairs or replacement.

Hopefully this is of some help

I don't recommend fixing the DC power socket. that part in sealed in its own compartment held with 4 screws and glued airtight to produced the great bass sound. The sound quality will be ruined once you do away with all the hard and soft glues. best just to jimmy rig the plug and just not move the speak too much. Mine had been working great for 10 years,, untill i also had the socket prob;em, only made things worse now.
