UE Boom 2 Lithium Battery Replacement

Step 1 D-ring

• Turn the device over. The D-ring will be on the left face of the speaker when viewing the device from this orientation.
Step 2



• Lift the handle on the D-ring and unscrew it.
• Remove the D-ring.
Step 3 Bluetooth Adapter
• Any repairs made from this point forward will void your device's warranty.
• Holding the speaker upright, wedge the metal spudger in between the casing and the speaker. Gently pry open the tabs as they are easily broken.
Step 4
• Find the part of the casing that covers the volume controls. Wedge the metal spudger under this and pry open all of the tabs as in the previous step.
• Repeat for the bottom of the speaker and pry the casing open with your fingers.
Step 5
• Using the Phillips J0 head screwdriver, unscrew the four silver 9 mm screws.
• Do the same for the two black 7 mm screws.
Step 6
• This next step involves the use of a hot soldering iron. Remember to be careful during this step since it can be easy to burn yourself.
• Using a soldering iron, de-solder the two ends of the switch plate.
Step 7
• With the switch plate disconnected, remove it and your device should now look like this.
Step 8 Lithium Battery
• With a metal spudger, pry open the tabs on the speaker sleeve along the length of the speaker.
Step 9
• Use a plastic opening tool to pry the sleeve off from the bottom of the speaker.
Step 10
• Peel off the sleeve.
Step 11
• Use a Phillips 1 screwdriver to unscrew the eight black 14 mm screws along the length of the casing.
Step 12
• With the screws removed, pry open the casing to be able to get to the components inside.
• Try prying the case open from one of the ends if that is easier.
Step 13
• With a Phillips #00 screwdriver, unscrew two 5.6 mm screws from the rectangular shaped circuit board.
Step 14
• With the Phillips #2 screwdriver, unscrew the 9.9 mm screw from the larger circuit board surrounding the speaker.
Step 15
• Once all of the screws are gone, you should be able to remove the circuit boards and find the battery.
