My problem was "No power, No charging". I removed the capacitor as explained in the video. This solved the problem. In the meantime, I had bought another Boom box. Now I have two that I can connect together. Very cool ... Thank you man !
Bought this speaker 4 months ago and this exact thing happened. no lights, not charging. contacted ultimate ears and they walked me through some troubleshooting and nothing worked and they were wonderful and honored the warranty and sent me a replacement. I have NO experience taking apart electronics but with a replacement in hand I realized I have nothing to lose, I tried this fix and it WORKED perfectly! Don't forget to unclip the bottom cap to pull the whole inside mechanism out and definitely remove a speaker to undo the wires! Looks like the seal on the speaker is to keep it waterproof so don't expose it to water after this fix! thanks so much for sharing!!!! It absolutely saved my speaker from the trash and only took 30 min for a newbie!
Brilliant, this worked for me as well, my first attempt was to just remove the cables hoping it would do some sort of reset but yeah, the capacitor was the culprit. I do recommend taking out a side speaker for easier wire handling, but there is a seal holding it together so it takes a bit of pressure to remove.
INCREDIBLE! Thank you SO much for this video. I was ready to get rid of my speaker because it wouldn't charge or turn on no matter what I did when I found this video and it completely fixed everything. I removed one of the speakers on the side and it helped a lot with adjusting the wires as well as using heated tweezers to pry off the transistor at the end. A few things need a bit of pressure to remove but in the end everything worked out perfectly and my speaker's working good as new!! Thank you again!
Just did it!! Havent done anything similar in my life. I was pretty desperate so just tried it. It was quite hard wont lie, mostly the part when having to remove the transistor, I heated up with a lighter some tweezers and finally got it. Worked out perfectly, thank you!!
Brilliant, 5 stars for this fix, I was just about to replace mine when I saw this video. It has worked but am a little confused that it now works having removed the capacitor! Many thanks
The element on my PCB where placed in different position then the one on the video. And without experience I thought I was cooked. The capacitor was hard to find and harder to recognise, so I pick up what I though it was. And boom its actually work. I can get full charge on it. Dude you're a genius
What does this capacitor actually do? Would it be the case that it only just need disconnecting and reconnecting the battery pack? has anybody tried this without removing the capacitor?
What if it looks different when it’s opened up? I have the same model I thought, but it looks different. I see PB2 E322995. I was going to try and test capacitors to see if one is shorted. 🤷♂️
You are a legend! Thank you so much. Feels like a the most blatant form of planned obsolescence which is sad but gives me hope that the internet can be a amazing place to overcome that!
@Clint Lipscomb - my Wonderboom looks like yours but had a PB2 board variant like @therandomgermanguy. It wouldn't charge with 2 different cables, but did have enough power left to briefly turn on (flashing red) then back off with tone like @Andjru Werderitsch saw. I removed shorted capacitor C31 which is on the edge of the PB2 board, next to the CN9 connector. Now my Wonderboom charges with 2 out of 3 cables & works fine at all volumes.
Hey bro I have one of the Wonderboom an I do the same thing you do and it works perfectly but I need a capacitor for the sound to produce better. If I rise the Volume up it stop an play again it do it for 1Sec
I just popped the top of mine and I discovered there weren’t any screws to unscrew. I wonder if my model is different from yours? Sadly I’m just going to purchase another speaker. Different brand, for sure.
Totally worked, 1 screwdriver and a scalpel to GENTLY prise the right piece off. Recommend tweezers for the connectors and definitely had to cut remove the speaker as connectors were so short.
I bought mine’s from Argos 2 months ago surely it’s still under warranty? I’m absolutely hopeless at things like removing a capacitor especially since I got thrown out of technically drawing, woodwork, metal work and art at high school. I wouldn’t even dream of taking my Wonderboom 3 to pieces. What would be my chances of taking back to Argos for a replacement? TIA
I have an UE Wonderboom, having the same issues. I took it apart but my circuit board has a different layout. If I send you a picture can you identify the faulty capacitor?
I fixed it, had a short on C31 which is on the edge of the board, next to the CN9 connector (at least its charging) Board: PB2 20161103 PN: CCB00009101
well i removed the capacitor and the speaker is able to charge, but when i press the power button it turns on for half a second then shuts down (but goes back to charging tho). I have the same board as you. HELP!
I've had that problem which was caused by a bad battery. Try charging it for a couple if hours. I the light does not go solid white, the battery may be bad. A fully charged battery should measure about 4.2v. It is also possible that the speaker is still not charging the battery although I've not had that problem with that charging board
hi, i have one Ue Wonderboom 2 speaker, the speaker is dead, not charging anymore, no led appears, i just bought it 1 month ago can you help what's wrong with my WB 2 please ?
My Wonderboom 2 plays for 3 hours at 80% then dies. Dead battery. Do these speakers use an 18650 battery I can replace with a higher amp version? Will this kill the charge controller chip?
Hi Clint, Just bought a couple of these speakers but neither are charging. Would you be able to tell me how/why removing that specific component repairs the charging fault? Thanks, John.
Hi John. Yes the component is a capacitor which goes short circuit, I'm not sure of its purpose but I found removing it removed the fault. I've done over 10 now and had no problems
Hello, My wonderboom2 just; stopped . I still not able to turn the power on. No light no sounds no music. The audio IC is gone but i don't know Where can i fix it ? Which Audio IC wonderboom2 actually use?
Let me see if I understand, you removed the broken capacitor, but you don't replace it with a new one?? I have a unit just with the same troubles, no power, no charge and would like to attempt repairing it. If it is just a matter of removing the short capacitor, great. But if I need to replace with a new one, which one should I buy??
@pacomb Yes just remove the capacitor, no need to replace it. Works okay without it. I've done this repair on these speakers loads of times now, never had a problem.
I don’t get it ¿is the device working properly? I noticed in the video that the music pauses randomly. Well, I have a Steren Boc 830 speaker and I have the same problem, the music starts to shut down or pause when I go a bit further of my phone, but I have a Wonderboom 2 that is working very fine, even too far from my phone. I think it’s a Bluetooth connectivity issue, and I don’t know how to reset the Steren Boc speaker to its factory settings. If somebody knows how to fix it, please let me know. Kind regards
Hi. The part number for the battery is 533-000154. I can only find them on Alliexpress for $14.99. I've only had to replace the battery in one but I used a battery from a water damaged speaker to repair it.
I could fix 3 out of 5, 2 of them were charging but died when reassembled and turned on for a second. Maybe another capacitor died without the other one, how likely is it that the one above died too? And how exactly did you find the dead one?
Amazon (and others) sell cheapo soldering irons for less than $20. Buy one and you'll have one for the future too. I've had one for decades and have used it countless times for electronic repairs like this, or just for soldering wires, etc. It's an invaluable tool, unless you like chucking things in the landfill.
Hi Jorge. I have done more than 10 of them without any problems. Read the comment you will see that 3 other viewers have followed my instructions and got their speakers working. Only attempt this repair if you are confident you can follow my instructions as I will not be held responsible if you break your speaker.
Thank you really much !!!!! I never thougt that this box ever gonna play Musik again but your video was grate!! It was a little bit difficult with the Kabels but i made it.grate video!!
Does it work for wonderboom 2? I can't power on my boom 2 speaker and neither can I charge it now. I saw your video and im thinking of doing it though I'm scared I'll mess it up more. Please reply, 😁
I think the battery is about 1600mAH. The specs say the battery lasts about 10 hours but when I tested the speakers after repair. they have lasted up to 13 hours.
@@clintlipscomb7532 I am guessing it is something like that, too. It is funny how removing a component fixes something. It seems like it might be acting as sort of a backwards fuse.
I'm just about to do this, but I have a question. Why would this capacitor prevent the speaker from working? Also, my unit doesn't show signs of charging, but still has enough power to show "red light" then it powers off. Is the capacitor still the issue?? Thank you sir.
Hi. The capacitor basically turns in to a wire and stops the speaker from powering up and charging. It is possible the capacitor is ok in your speaker as you are getting a red flashing light. If you have not done already, use a different charger and lead. Check the USB socket on the speaker to make sure no pins are damaged. I've also had the battery go bad in these speakers. You may also have a different charging board in your speaker but I've not been able find the problem with that board.
@@clintlipscomb7532 Thank you for the reply. I had fun dismantling and re assembling, only to realize I just had to use a new cord. 😅HOWEVER, now the speaker sounds a bit off on low tones. Thoughts?
@@Andjru8 It sounds like the wires are not in the right place inside the speaker and one of them is touching the rubber passive radiator on one side. Make sure the wires are routed up the middle of the speaker so they are between the speaker magnets
Thank you so much!!! I wasn't confident at first do to this by myself as I know nothing about this area, but it turned out to be a great challenge and now the wonderboom is working fine Only thing is I have accidentally took out one capacitor, bigger one, written E9, 220, 16V on top. Any idea if it's bad? Thanks again! Amazing video
I'm not sure it is for as I can't get a circuit diagram. I'm guessing it is for filtering the USB supply while charging. I think it fails because a capacitor with a higher working voltage should have been used. I'm not an expert so am only guessing.
Hi. That board does not have that capacitor so I think it is a different problem. I have one here that was dead so I charged the battery in another speaker and I plugged it in and the speaker worked. However I then found that if I plugged in the charger, sometimes it will charge. I'm yet to find out what is causing the problem but I do know it is not the usb socket in my case.
Dang, my speaker is on but dying and won’t charge. This sounds complicated, and I’ve never been internal-hardware savvy, but maybe I’ll give this a try.
A capacitor is not "a tiny piece of metal". It's an electronic component and it serves a purpose in the design. Not sure how simply removing it without replacing it can solve the problem as it should provide functionality necessary to the operation of the speaker. If you can remove it without it affecting anything, why is it there in the first place?
Clint, Thank you. I was able to do this repair and successfully fix one speaker, and has been working great ever since. I have a friend with a broken one also, and attempted to fix that one too. however the control boards are different (PB2). I was wondering if you had a similar fix for that Speaker. Its not a UE wonderboom 2, if you were wondering.
Yes I have across a couple with different boards. However one was badly water damaged and the other intermittently charges which I have not managed to repair yet.
Hi. Yes I have one with a different panel. Not sure of the problem with this one. I was able to charge the battery externally but the faulty panel won't charge it. The speaker works ok otherwise. I hope to find a solution one day.
Hi I hope you can help me, mine broke yesterday, weirdly it would not turn off, so after 15mins it shut down, now the turn on button wont turn the speaker on, it still charges, everything else seemed to work fine except for the power on button... do you know how to fix this ? please let me know or anyone lese on here... thank you
