It is found to be similar to lithium-ion batteries that are generally integrated with any Bluetooth speaker for better working and the long run. The restricted functionality charger is left with no other solution than the replacement of worn-out batteries.

Solution: Replacement of batteries is found to be a far better and even inexpensive option. For replacing the batteries, you need to first turn off the device and put it upside down means the bottom facing upward.

Later remove the anti-slip mat and start unscrewing with the use of the iron rod that can be heated for the removal of screws. Now check that everything is in position and if there is a problem then fix it with the use of double tape.

Place a new battery at its position in the motherboard and put back the cover of the speaker, screw it and attach the anti-slip mat.

3. Try New USB Cable

If it does not start charging then you need to proceed with the replacement. You can even check the connector plating that can be worn out. But, if there is any chipping then it is assumed that the cable is no longer useful.

4. Broken USB Socket Point

Solution: first of all remove the hidden screw, anti-slip mat, plugs, and another sound grill to verify the damaged solder joints. If your speaker is waterproof then you need to be careful while handling the seal. But in the case of the Wonderboom Bluetooth device, there is no waterproof seal so damage can be detected easily.

After detecting the damaged solder, fix it with the help of soldering iron. But before running the operation, it is needed to thoroughly check the tip of the soldering iron and even make use of fresh solder. Complete the soldering process of negative and positive terminals and conduct a trial before finishing.
