Hey everyone and welcome back to the Sawickipedia In this episode we're looking at a pair of
the Beats Wireless 2 heaphones.
These guys are not charging and I've been through all the reset process
And nothing seems to work So everything points to a faulty USB port
So we're gonna take a look inside and see if we can repair it
First thing we need to do is take off the cover
for the USB port side, just slowly pry it off, it's only held down by a bit of sticky
tape or double sided tape pretty much So slowly pry it off you don't wanna go too
crazy There you go, you can see the tape there
Put that aside and then behind that are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 screws that are gonna need
to come out so you'll need a small Phillips head screwdriver
just remove all these and place them aside somewhere safe
You do not want to lose them
Now at the bottom you'll notice there's two
screws either side of the USB port So these actually hold that little USB port in
But you should now have the cover off
Just be careful beacuse there are small headphone wires behind there
So if you are too rough with it you will end up possibly breaking one of those wires
which is going to cause you even more headaches I'm just going to remove those two little
screws from around the USB port
Okie doke, all the screws are out
And you can see inside here is a little cover, covers up all the little terminals on the
back of the USB And with any luck we should be able to just
pry that off the board It may take a little bit of encouragement
Might need a tiny screwdriver So grab yourself a little screwdriver and
just try and gently pry this board out There we go
There's our USB port Try and get focused on it
If you look closely you can see it's lifted up on one side so there's probably some connections
broken underneath that Yeah it definitely looks like it's coming
off the board Try and get focus
So, there are two ways to fix this One of the ways is to try and resolder those
joints on the USB port Which would be incredibly fiddly considering
the solder joints look to be actually under the port itself
So unless you've got a solder station or a reflow station it's probably not going to
be an option For everyone else who's not so lucky and just
has a soldering iron, you'll need to pick up a new board with a USB port attached
I'll put a link down below for this one And the next thing we're going to need to
do is obviuosly take the old board off so desolder those four connections... actually
I think there's five connections Be sure to take a photo first so you know
which one goes back where, and then solder the new one on
So this is the old one
and you can hopefully get a little bit of a better view of what's happened to it
Out with the old, in with the new
Ok it looks like we're done if you can excuse my poor soldering skills, don't take any tips
from that Now it's just a case of putting it back together
and giving it a test
We might just test it now Just be gentle obviously the USB port is not
screwed in yet so you don't wanna be too rough with it
We are plugged in and you can see the little lights flashing so looks like we're charging up
So yeah, all that's left to do is carefully
unplug that again and then we'll stick it all back together
Just test it one more time
There we are good as new As always if this has helped you out be sure
