Introduction
This guide will require the use of a heatgun in the general area of the battery that powers the device, so keep the setting on low and use heat resistant gloves.
What you need
-
-
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.
-
-
-
Carefully remove outer housing to expose the inner components of the speaker.
On my Flip 3, there were two Phillips head screws on each end that required removal prior to outer housing removal.
This is fundamental to specify that this is the SE (Stealth edition). The disassembly is not exactly the same (SE edition is easier)

-
Heat the adhesive at the far end of the chip where the ribbon goes down into the device. Using the spudger, gently pry the chip off the board. Be careful not to melt the plastic edging during heating.
removal of the mainboard is essential if you need to replace the battery for example; it is not shown here

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

If your gentle, you don’t need a heat gun. I carefully removed it with a screwdriver. Just don’t stress the board else your in a new set of problems.
How do you remove the board? It says to remove the chip from the board but there are no images that show that.
The title says replacement, and you show only the removal.
what could be a problem with my jbl flip 3.it wouldn't turn on when its not plugged in to the charger.
Change the battery
