This video gave me many answers. Thank you. Scary to know there is a microphone inside without any purpose for the customer. Dang you Big Brother!

[@papaposeidon1747]

Best teardown video. I scuba and free dive and found a flip 5. I just wanted to know how to tear down so I could properly clean everything before use. Good job keep up the useful videos

[@blackcrucian]

It's such underrated video! I couldn't find the full tear down, but you did it! Thanks!👍

[@MSL_043]

Well done, and your electronic terminology is spot on! 👍🏻

Awesome now I can remove my loud roommate’s battery

[@thankyouverymochi]

nice teardown dude, it was clean and the pic shot on every scene is on high detail. one question though, do the speaker still work after you put everything back together ? I failed connecting ribbon cable on my dualshock project before.. so ribbon cable still scares me

[@soundsoflife8927]

Well explained, THX 👍

Nice bro Thnks ❤

[@rauldiaz2340]

friend greetings excellent video. I wanted to ask you about the following, just below the 1R5 component is a 6-pin integrated that I am interested in knowing what integrated it is. since in my flip5 speaker that integrated exploded and cannot see the code to be able to replace it .. I don't have much knowledge of electronics please help me !!!

[@Vizarz]

Cool

[@Videoseminars]

May be you have a guess where is the in point on the amp board from bt-section? I'd like to solder in there and have normal minijack aux in (usb-c is not an option for a small player connect)

[@ObiMoses-bk5hf]

I was about to open my flip 5 cover it's very difficult for me to open it, i want to wash it.

[@toddbaudier6519]

I need to purchase a usb charge port board. Can you show me a link for that please.

[@sarahoregan5070]

Hello, when I try the factory reset (play + vol up) nothing happens. Which bits do I need to take apart to do a manual factory reset please? The automated voice is too loud and I can't change the volume of it, and the volume buttons do not work properly (they skip track instead of change volume). So I think I was sold a faulty speaker and want to reset it. Thanks!

[@binhnguyenthanh9011]

do you know this speaker capacity and how many ohms? Thanks

[@shahzebali483]

Hello Sir, first of all awesome video, just wanna ask I was thinking too remove the fabric black cover from JBL flip 5 to clean some dust off the cover. Is it fine to remove the cover like won't it get damaged?

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

Hi, thank you for your feedback! To answer your question: it is no problem to remove the cover to clean it (and underneath). The cover can even be washed with a mild soap. It is very easy to reinstall after letting it dry.

Where i can find serial number In my case serial number only mentioned in box. Is any other side like over the products they mention serial number

[@buxiiii]

Great video! Does anyone have problems with the Bluetooth range? It started 1 month ago and doesn't work over 1m range. Any ideas? Thanks!

[@lukaswalden6197]

Thanks for the video! I found this video in an attempt to fix an issue where my JBL Flip 5 turns off a few seconds after powering up. Is there a particular part that I should investigate?

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

Hi, I’d check if the battery looks bloated.

[@RVKomputer]

Hola!, cuando desarmó este equipo funcionaba? o NO?

[@Mohesh_Reang]

Can u tell me the tools name that u used for teardown the speaker woofer

[@nekuseek]

Screw and knife

[@dogogil1979]

Good morning, what is the internal microphone on the JBL Flip 5 for?

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

Hello, my guess is that JBL initially planned to allow this speaker to be used as a speakerphone. Since they stated to remove this feature from all of their recent models, it ended up not betussd. I opened up a Flip5 with a different hardware design a few months ago in that revision the microphone was already removed.

[@dogogil1979]

@@MegaSafetyFirst thank you very much, and excellent video!

[@bricknationtv158]

I thought that it has two speaker

[@LadyhawksLairDotCom]

I can't find the screws to take off the top and bottom. There's a different layout inside mine. The four side buttons broke. I was hoping the connector just became detached and I could get in there and plug it back in. I can't even get into it because the four screws for removing the top / bottom don't exist. Darn.

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

There are different build variant. The one that you have only has a couple of clips that hold the top and bottom in place.

[@OneLove92626]

I know this video is a year old but does anyone know where to fix or a video of how to replace parts?

[@chibuzoronyenso8332]

Mine wouldn't on or charge, I have tried all I could to make it work nothing happens

[@who6481]

Is there any way of upgrading the Bluetooth chip to Bluetooth 5.2

[@thankyouverymochi]

probably not, upgrading bluetooth chip would need a soldering process.. and the newer one might not have the same interface as the old one

[@who6481]

@@thankyouverymochi completely forgot about but thanks l, ended up getting the soundcore motion + and very happy with it

[@thankyouverymochi]

@@who6481 you're welcome. that is a great speaker. I also consider getting one before.. I eventually pick jbl 5 (due to it being a little bit more portable). but soundcore motion plus is also a great choice

[@Nunezzz.]

Is it possible to damage the speakers if its too loud?

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

It is possible to damage the speaker when using the low frequency mode. Otherwise it should not happen.

[@Esacal3]

I have a JBL flip 5 that the Bluetooth doesn’t turn on and I can’t connect new devices, do you think that is because something on the inside got disconnected?

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

Hi, when you press the Bluetooth button, does the LED still start to blink and does it play the sound for the pairing mode ?

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

Did you try a factory reset ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIa4m5pjnZZmfKs

[@Esacal3]

@@MegaSafetyFirst no it doesn’t blink and it doesn’t make the sound, i can’t even do the factory reset

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

Maybe the ribbon cable to the button panel got detached? Do the volume buttons still work?

[@Esacal3]

@@MegaSafetyFirst no the whole bottoms doesn’t respond, that’s why I think I can’t make a factory reset

[@Suryatechandvlog]

How to change charging port dude is it possible.. My JBL flip 5 is not charging can u pls help me to fix it

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

It is easy to remove the daughter board that hold the charging port. But I have not replaced the port itself yet. I find the USB-C ports more difficult to replace than the old micro-USB ports.

[@Suryatechandvlog]

@@MegaSafetyFirst yes that is the reason I'm asking for ya usb type c is difficult to change is there any solution to slove my problem dude pls give me some solution pls

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

That is really difficult. Are you certain that the port is defective? Or could the problem be somewhere else?

[@sanskartewatia4320]

@@MegaSafetyFirst Yeah man something is fishy with the charging port on this device, my charging port melted when I connected to a fast charger. It burn the cable the all the plastic melted into the type C port. Unable to find the replacement for that type c Port. Could you provide any links to replacement charging port or a similar port so that i can use that instead of the original one? Thanks
