      • There are sensitive cables around, which are often hidden by black adhesive tape:

      • black flat flex / ribbon cable (here in image white) directly behind the USB-Modul,

      • black flat flex / ribbon cable (here in image white) across the flat,

      • thin microphone-cable, which rip off easily. Pull adhesive tape careful down.

      • The tool can be pencil or wood cooking spoon. Use the flat side end, to prevent damaging to the battery.

      • Too tight or tool is too thick?: Bedder remove the entire USB-Modul, if it does not fit well. A damaged cables would results in more work, then just unplugging this modul.

      • Put the tool carefully on right side of the USB-Modul in. It's not allowed to be blocked by something. Nor on the side or down side.

      • The image shows the tool, after the battery was pressed out.

      • The old battery are mounted by sponge rubber. By the bloat / expansion of the battery it's to big to push / pull out the old battery.

      • To improve mount, you may can add some rubber band to the battery. That will results the same like sponge rubber. It may also prevent too much heat at the battery.

      • The new battery is perfect centered in position.

Sensationell - vielen herzlichen Dank für deine perfekte Anleitung, speziell die Beschreibung, wie man einen aufgeblähten Akku rauskriegt.

Jetzt flippt der Flip wieder wie am ersten Tag!

may the force be (or better: stay!) with you 👍

Excellent tutoriel, facile à suivre bien que c'était assez laborieux avec la batterie gonflée et bloquée. Petite astuce supplémentaire: après lubrification à l'alcool, faire le mouvement contraire càd pousser un tout petit peu la batterie vers l'arrière(ça aide à décoincer) puis le pousser vers l'avant avec l'outil en bois, ça sort un peu plus facilement.

Bitte eine Warnung hinzufügen, dass der aufgeblähte Akku möglicherweise extrem instabil ist. Hätte gerade fast meine Wohnung abgefackelt, als er sich beim Hinausschieben spontan entzündet hat. Wäre gut, wenn die Aktion im Freien bzw. in Umgebungen durchgeführt wird, wo Feuer nichts anrichten und der Akku (und mit ihm die JBL Flip 4) im Falle eines Falles ungefährdet abbrennen kann.

Gut, das nicht schlimmeres passiert ist.
Bislang scheint dies die erste Brand-Meldungen in den Kommentaren zu diesen Gerät zu sein.
Deinen / Ihren Hinweis habe ich in die Anleitung als Schritt eingefügt. Danke für's Feedback.

Falls Sie noch Zeit haben für weitere Rückmeldung:
Vielleicht hilft es so die Ursache des Brandes einzugrenzen.
Oder es war schlicht und einfach nur Pech... :-(
- Mich würde interessieren was für ein Rausdrück-Werkzeug (z.B. Bleistift, Kochlöffel ,...) Sie genau verwendet haben?
- Denn: Es könnte vielleicht Werkzeuge geben die sich dafür nicht so gut eignen (z.b. weil zu klein oder nicht flach genug) und die Batterie beschädigen sogar.
- Oder war bei Ihnen die Kraft / der Druck zu stark? (zu fest im Gerät). Das würde bedeuten: Die Leser sollte an mehr Geduld erinnert werden und sollten mit mehr Schmiermittel arbeiten (+ Einwirk-zeit).
Gerne können Sie / du auch selber Änderungen am Text durchführen oder einreichen.

Good, that nothing more bad happened. You comment seems the first about inflame.
I've added your suggestion. Thank your for the feedback.

If you have more time for addition feedback:
- Maybe this helps to find the causal on the inflame.
- Or it was just bad luck :-(
- Which pushing tools you have used? (e.g. pencil case, cooking spoon, ...)
- Because: Maybe there are tools, which are not fit good (e.g. too small or not flat enough), which hurt the battery.
- Or maybe too much force / pressure? Which would means: More Patient and more gliding liquid (+ time for soak in)
You are also welcome to edit the guide yourself.
