Diabetes is not an excuse
Diabetes can and will create unique challenges for those the disease effects. However, with adequate knowledge and preparation a diabetic can do everything a non-diabetic individual can. As long as they have some emergency fruit snacks on hand.

How to Replace Bose SoundLink Mini II Battery
Переглядів 203 тис.2 роки тому
In this video I teach you how to replace the battery on a Bose SoundLink Mini II speaker. This process is not to be confused with the replacement of a battery on a Bose SoundLink Mini. The process to replace that battery is much simpler and only requires you to take the four screws that are located under the rubber foot out. This video is about its second version. Some batteries come with the l...

    Thank you so much for the tutorial. PROBLEMS I occurred along the way - 1) once I got the battery out it didn't just disconnect I had to pay for someone to unsolder and then re-solder new battery for an additional fee of £25.Then to find out later, at my peril, that soldier, soldered the circuit board backwards. Make sure you the circuit board is replaced correctly. 2) Using the tweezers in the gap of the male connector to reconnect the female connector is a good idea. Saves a lot of time and stress. 3) Replacing the speakers - make sure the wires are tucked away around the circuit board (not on top) and the holes are in line with the back of the cover. I spent a lot of time readjusting why it wouldn't fit. Look at the video and freeze frame to put back correctly. 4) Make sure the rubber around the cover (back/front) is on correctly so, it can easily clip back. 5) Recharging battery - the video shows a low battery (flashing yellow light) and so when pressing the on/off button there's an audible voice that prompts you to recharge however, for me, there was no auditable sound just a flashing red light. So I need a full charge. Overall, Great video! Lots of good ideas.... Thanks!

    I found your video useful and I've read all of the comments. I'm going crazy from all the talk about "Mother Boards" though. There is NO MOTHER BOARD involved. There are circuit boards in the speaker assembly. A Mother Board is a board with many long connectors into which daughter boards are plugged. The electronics are on the daughter boards, or in the case of these Bose Speakers, on the circuit boards. A Mother Board is used to connect multiple circuit boards/daughter boards, together.

    Hey Nick 😊 thanks very much for your video! I managed to get my battery replaced today and it has worked out well. The battery I ordered did not have the small circuit board attached so I had to solder the wires from the new battery to the old circuit board (not easy for an amateur like me 😂) but I’ve managed to get it to work and it still sounds great. Couldn’t have done it without your help 👍🏼👊🏼. Cheers, Mike

    Thanks for the vid, but my replacement battery arrived with no connector or PC board. on the ribbon cable. There was only a ribbon cable with four bare leads on the end that would need to be soldered. At that point, I said, "screw this," and abandoned the idea of using the speaker unplugged from power.

  • @tednation8711
    @tednation8711 8 місяців тому

    Hey. This is a terrific video. BUT ..... Before you take the grills off etc. Take the screws out of the battery. Newer models of this speaker are a little different. And after removing the four screws, the battery slides out. Slide the new one in and replace the screws, and you are done. Unfortunately, I followed his instructions to the letter, only to discover, after removing the grills, etc. That the battery connection is built into my unit and all the work, and slightly bent grills was not necessary.

      It sound like you did a battery replacement on a Mini I. Did you really do the replacement on a Mini II? Or, perhaps, on a SoundLink Mini II SE Bluetooth Speaker, if the Special Edition, which is on sale directly from Bose, as of 16 APR 2024, has reverted to the Mini I type battery connection.

    I am deeply disappointed by the design of the circuitry housing, which I find to be inadequate and hindering repair. I purchased my Soundlink mini 1st generation for INR 16,800, along with an additional INR 3,800 for the pouch. I cherished this device, even writing an independent review after four months of use. Unfortunately, it now appears that the battery has failed, indicated by a blinking red light when I attempt to charge it. Bose no longer services this model, and the necessary battery is unavailable or prohibitively expensive from online sources. This experience has soured my opinion of Bose and other tech companies that produce such poorly constructed devices. I believe it is time for consumers worldwide to voice their concerns and consider boycotting Bose products. An independent agency should conduct a thorough audit of such practices. It is regrettable that a company of Bose's reputation has failed to meet my expectations.

    Thanks NIck for all your effort, one of the best instructional videos on YTube. If you ever do one on heart transplants, I have every confidence, your detailed instructions would save lives. The CEO of Bose and their engineering staff should be jailed for making things so f'ing complicated. The Mini was a piece of cake. The Mini II is a nightmare. I will never buy another Bose product again, ever.
