JBL Flip 3 Battery Replacement

Step 1 Battery

• Remove plastic outer housing using hands or a standard spudger.
• Important! Note the three alignment pins on the inner part of the housing. When reassembling, take special care to line these up and insert the pins into the receivers on the chassis prior to snapping the edges into place.
Step 2

• Use your hands to carefully remove the outer frame to expose the inner components of the speaker.
Step 3
• Remove the 7 8.9mm Phillips #00 screws fastening the two side passive drivers. Then remove the side passive drivers themselves. Be sure to set them somewhere safe to ensure they aren’t lost.
Step 4
• Remove silicone button covers by peeling back the silicone covering. This will expose the circuit board.
Step 5
• Carefully remove the 5 pin connector from motherboard using your hands
Step 6
• Unscrew the 2 8.9mm Phillips #00 screws holding the plastic battery cover. Carefully set them in a different safe spot to ensure that they are both not lost and not confused with the screws from step 2.
• Remove the clear plastic battery cover.
Step 7
• Gently heat adhesive located at tip of powerchip to melt the plastic fastening the battery to the housing. Be careful not to melt the plastic housing during heating.
