    • With the Sony logo facing towards you, use the medium spudger to lift the side plates from the internal frame.

Hello. Would you upload a detailed photo of the motherboard and the built-in amplifier? I’d like to know if I could find the right IC which I want to change. Thank you! and great guide!

I really like the sound of this BT device. That´s why I own one of these. I just want to know how to convert this rechargeable speaker into AC power supply device because I don´t want to buy a battery replacement when the original one runs out. I don´t know how to calculate the volts and amperes needed to supply this speaker.

Which adhesive should be bought to put it all back together? Are there parts which can break or go in unoriginal form and should be romoved or fixed back together carefully? Also the link for the battery on amazon which is posted cant supply right now: is there any alternatives?

Thank you for making this guide and helping out :D

Beware NFC chip on the top panel (under the ADD button). It should stay blued on the top shell when you separate you. Be gentle with the top shell while doing step 2.

If the chip stayed on the speaker, you beed a way to gently separate it. Without separating it, you simply break NFC connection.

This is good information however, without a source where to obtain a replacement new battery for Sony's SRS-XB43 it is moot
