Fix/Repair Broken Charging Port on a Bluetooth Speaker - SONY SRS-XB21

A guide on how to replace a broken charging port on a portable bluetooth speaker.
The microUSB connector will be replaced with a much more convenient type-C one.
The board I used for its type-c connector is a TC4056 li-ion charging module: bit.ly/33cfpHO

I'm holding a srs-x2 in my hand, busted micro port - love that speaker, must be 10 years old by now

[@fadeaway6699]

My speaker powers on it just won’t charge

[@grindfi]

Love your videos man, such an inspiration to go do these things again! every single time

[@PhysicalGeneral]

Did the same thing to my Xb31‘s, just perfect if you don’t have that much micro usb cables lying around anymore.

[@Thorsten00]

How would you go about adding a line-out to this speaker? (Perhaps even using the line-in port/hole on the box). That way one could use this as a remote receiver for the wireless network....

[@TheMuskyMafia]

Do you know another way I can charge my speaker? The type c port is trashed. Can it charge through the usb out which normally charges other stuff? Or is there some way I can tap into wires?

[@himanshu4269]

It was too painful to watch. Thank God it worked 😀

[@roryjoseph7645]

Can you bypass the damaged usb charging port and charge the battery directly with a different charging device?

[@benjaminmartinezjr110]

Dude you’re insane !! I gotta xb43 my cat messed up the port and it just now completely failed. Heelllllppp!!!!

[@vancenahquaddy4056]

I got a srs xb43 also and my type c port broke. The little chip that inside the type c import broke off

[@Darieee]

ow my .. you could hopefully just wire in the + & - and it'll just never fast-charge again or even somehow add that resistor that tells type-c chargers to go ahead and send 5 volts .. most likely the main board will work without that chip or communicating with it, I'd be pretty sure of that but do let us know how this turns out, I'm rather curious

Hi, how do i contact you? i need a guide on how to repair mine. thanks

[@user-ti4nh1hw9e]

How much to fix another?

[@rukysajere8519]

Hello. Please what's the name of the cutting tool you used at the beginning and towards the end of the video? thanks

[@Darieee]

dremel ???

[@tommccarthy1914]

I would love to do this because my port is very temperamental but it looks very complicated to do

[@zapnya]

Can you do an Ihome ibt78v2

[@3rutu5]

how does this BT speaker compare to your wooden one from a few years ago?

[@Darieee]

the sony wins .. the drivers are "more better" and it has dynamic bass .. + an app where you can set the EQ

[@3rutu5]

@@Darieee i guess thats the difference between a commercial unit and a DIY project

[@Darieee]

yeah - with small diy projects you really do need psychoacoustic magic & a dynamic equalizer ..

[@oscarjimenezgomez1372]

me pasa lo mismo , gracias

[@c43805]

How much it costs?

[@yoelyoel5495]

[@santoshpatra2732]

Please help me

[@digitaldiamondtv553]

Mine is having the SAME PROBLEM!! - But after looking at you do all this complicated shit, I might as well just buy another one SMFH 😢😢

[@santoshpatra2732]

Seem problem in my box

[@michaelstewart8664]

Hi you like to solder could you help me

[@Darieee]

what'o you have in mind 🔥 ?

[@qolspony]

I don't think it is worth it. Just buy one that doesn't have a USB adapter. Because they always tend to fail often. It's unavoidable.
