JBL Flip 3 USB Charge Port Repair

[@daniloguimaraes88]

Good job! i tried to fix mine and still disassembled for almost 3 years. I will try to refix e make it works again. JBL didn´t project it to repair, unfortunately. Thanks for sharing knowledge!

[@nrtg6290]

Appreciate the vid. Saved me time. I tossed it in the trash and ordered a newer model. Time is money.

[@jonathankeenan80]

Can you replace the original usb port with usb c?

[@PCDoctorUSA]

Great job on the repair. I had the same issue, but I don't have your mad solder skills so in the trash it went. No more JBL crap.

[@TheRetroBen]

Thanks, it was pretty aggravating to solder, lol.

[@Retalinmwar]

This sounds like Billy Bob Thornton I love it

[@chvydrptop]

What an interesting technique at 17:30. So you flooded all 4 connectors with a blob of solder and then used solder wick to suck the excess from the in-between channels. I am assuming (I'm a novice) that each of the lines is are not suppose to connect to each other?

[@lifepath2229]

Yea like you said lol its much more complicated than I thought. And removing that glue will leave it vulnerable for falls unless you replace all that glue. I've dropped my flip 3 countless times, and only the charge port broke because the person who gave it to me already ruined it badly. Time to buy a flip 4 or flip 5 lol. It'd be easier if they sold those little boards with the aux/USB port so we just plug it in. I will be repairing it eventually.

is it possible to do this repair at home?

[@TheRetroBen]

Sure, I did.

[@muskratceleste]

How much would you charge for this replacement?

[@AirAlex72]

Hello! Very nice video and great job! My JBL only flashes one diode when charging and I am wondering if the battery or port is bad. I figured out how to open it! Thank You Friend!

[@TheRetroBen]

Thanks 👍

[@moranatal22]

[@muazamkhann]

What is the value of capacitor c801?

[@maesnr]

Hey, thanks for the video. Do you have the link for the full item (PCB + charging port) so that I don't need a soldering tool and I just have to replace the full component?

[@TheRetroBen]

Sorry I could not find that item so that's why I just replaced the port. It would be way easier.

[@xabooy]

Good work. Excuse me, what's the name of the tool at minute 8:30? I want to start repairing something you recommend me to buy it. Thank you very much.

[@TheRetroBen]

Thank you for the comment, the tool is a resoldering gun/iron I have a video about it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXeXk3d_qZqbjJo
