How to Repair JBL FLIP 4 

yo i just followed this step bye step and my flip 4 is working like brand new in 2024. great video my dude you are the man. 👍

This guy is spot on. Goes past the other videos and gives you the possibilities of the difficulties you may have. Unscrewing the charging port to force the battery out. Excellent!!!!!! Thank you!!

Awesome! My speaker is having the exact issue. Thank you!

You just saved my JBL from going in the garbage. Easy peezy replacing new battery and works it great. Thank you!😊

I have the exact same problem! My battery is always going from just fully charged to zero in a really short time. Thx for the video I’ll order a battery replacement kit

You made it look so simple, well made tutorial. Mine crackled after the 2nd day on low volume. I just returned it, but now have future knowledge. Thanks

Thank you, I'll probably try this out when fixing my flip 4. It had the same problem as well.

Just replaced my daughters jbl flip 4 battery thanks to your tutorial! Thanks 🙏🏽

I had this same problem. Followed the instructions in the video precisely and replaced the battery with the one suggested. It works great again now. Thank you!

This video deserves way more likes. Having the same issues after years of service.

Is it still waterproof

I tried taking the battery out by pulling it out, no good. So I took out the charging port as you recommended and pushed it out that way. After pushing it out and placing the new battery it wasn't turning on. I knew it couldn't be the new battery because I connected it before I pushed the old one out and it worked perfectly. I did try using oil and a thin knife to soften the adhesive, could that be the reason why it's not working?

so after following your video step by step, the flip 4 doesn't work at all anymore, neither with the old nor the new battery. I've inspected everything and I'm not missing anything. Is there a chance that by pushing out the (extremely) swolen battery, I have damaged some other important part?

Tried taking the battery out, destroyed the speaker during the process 😞. Good vid though!

My speaker had the exact same issue so I bought the battery off of Amazon and did step by step from this video and it is working perfectly again! Good as new! Thanks!

Bro! Thanks, My battery was super swollen and I had the front of it ripped apart before finding this, I did not realize taking the charging port out was all I needed to do so I could push it. Thanks again!!

Thank you so much for this video!!! I was able to change the battery myself thanks to you

great video. got the battery replaced following your instructions and it powered up. unfortunately it won't charge now. any thoughts on how to check/fix that?

I was able to replace my flip 4 battery like a champ! I appreciate your help 🥂

thank you!. I have the same problem!. Do you know where can I buy a new battery?

Thanks a lot! I have the same exact issue. I just took the battery out but not sure if it so swallen but it was really hard to take out. So I assume so. I will order another one

Definitely gonna do it and clean mine... hope I won't get any troubles.. although I only need the speakers out to clean them... you reckon that the jbl flip 4is still waterproof after 1st tearing apart?

Just tried this, worked perfectly, your instructions are very good!!! Thank you so much!!!

Helo .. i want to repair my JBL flip 4 .. my ON/OFF button is not working anymore suddenly .. for charging it's working n everything is fine only the main switch button .. what will I do now?

One question. When i do this tipe of replacement am i taking out the waterproof resistente or not?

Does the the speaker still waterproof after the change in batteries

Maybe The original one or is the revision version different but instead of 4 screws it have the sides by blocking type... you should round it to take the sides out.

I just did everything successfully, but after putting it all together, the side bumpers don’t seem to stay on snug, like I can still pry them up a little. Did you have this problem?

Hi! Where can I find the ribbon cable connecting to the control board.?

Mine wont charge to the last bar and randomly will go red and start the crackle only does it randomly and shuts off after it crackles for a bit do you think its the battery?

High after checking turns out only one of my drivers were crackling, is this a solder issue or could be a battery issue as well?

My battery was so swollen that i had a hard time pushing it out with different tools for half an hour. I had to mess up some flux cable while doing it and my volume, bluetooth, pause buttons are not working now. Which white cable would it be inside?

Does the speaker work with battery removed and connected to charger?

I'm having the same problem and I haven't ordered a new battery yet but the current on is so swollen i cant get it out.

thank you

Hey, i have a similar problem like this one had, when it gets too loud it starts to have cracking noises. I am not sure if it's the battery though, could it be speakers itself?

Thanks for this video having same problem will try with the battery

Does opening it makes speaker no longer waterproof ?

Any suggestions on why our JBL Flip 4 cuts out unless the phone is hard wired or right next to the speaker? It does this when fully charged and even charging cable connected to the speaker. If you move the phone more than 2ft away, it cuts out terribly.

Cool thanks man, mine's been doing the same thing, good to know, hope mine is just a bad battery as well.

Hi Jin, how does the side speakers work if its not connected, I am having issues with one speaker, it has a crackling sound, any suggestions on how to fix it?

Hi! i have the same issue, but i tried plugging to the electric socket and the issue persist... do you think it is a battery issue if the noise come also when plugged to the AC? Thanks

Where to buy a battery?

hlw jin thao you are so good you solved my problem I'm also having this problem by the way my name is jit I am from India and now I am your new subscriber 🥰😘🥰

What kind of screwdriver did you use to remove the frame and passive radiator?

Will this work if my flip 4 makes a crackle sound when it plays?

thank you verry much

This was so easy to follow, thank you!! Subscribed

How much it will cost for battery replacement in jbl flip 4 ?

Is this a common issue with this device? I will buy the battery and fix it myself. I am tired of spending money to get a new one when I knoe I can repair it.

My speaker does the same but heaps louder and then turns off and doesn’t come back on unless I put it on charge even tho it’s full charge and it won’t make the noice if it’s on charge so it’s sitting on charge 24/7 which sucks

Bro I want jbl flip 4 driver where to buy suggest me pls

We're do I purchase the battery?

Thanks a lot. The battery was swollen inside the speaker, i fix it with that video.

found the same one for 12 bucks at a pawn shop and the guy gave it to me for 10 bucks and the tag claimed as is that it didn't stay charged. I knew it was the battery and I just ordered it. saved myself a good chunk for a very good speaker. I could tell it was abused because it was dirty and was sticky so i wiped it down and washed the grille with some soap and water and now it looks good as new but still some wear but better than nothing.

Thanks. I have the same issue with my speaker..

how to clean those meches of the flib 4 , mine got really dirty ..help!

Very helpful video, thanks. P.S. The baby noises in the background made me laugh. 👍

Got mine for $8 battery is the only issue, and same color as well.

Great job! Battery was a bitch to push out but it all worked out in the end.

WTF, brand new and it came with a bad battery?!!!! UNACCEPTABLE. I'M CALL JBL! That said, Jin this video is awesome and thank you for sharing your insight and knowledge.

i'm your first commenter.go on bro.would you please make a teardown video on,awei y331 and awei y336....please....

After doing this , volume buttons, pause Play button, bluetooth button are not working..any idea , what would have happened ???

hey can i have some help my flip 4 has had some water damage and the speakers are making a nose thats like when you have no signal on the radio and the constant nose. also the battery is dead

I did everything u did but even with pulling the port out there is no space to push the battery from the other site because it is filled with something to protect the components. Idk how to get it out, because because of the stupid glue I cant pull it from the battery's site out. Does somebody got a advice for me how to still get it from the batterys site. Ty

the battery in mine is so swollen i literally can't take it out... what should i do ?

Hi my speaker chargers but it doesn't switch on

I can't take the battery off, what should I do?, please help me

My battery died and so I had to replace it. While replacing the battery I nodiced that all plastic is very soft and breaking by itself. It's a shame because JBL is known to be a good brand for such speakers yet after only 2 years of light use the speaker is breaking apart. I assembled it but now I can hear terrible low frequency sound

I have the same issue how to fix this pls tell

my flip 4 won't play audio. I factory reset it 3 times now.

My speaker does same but dies after a couple seconds and never will stay on no matter if charged or plugged into power source

please someone help i know almost nothing about all this amp stuff and other. please

I dont understand how changing a battery helps in improving sound quality...??

Well my flip 4 doesnt even wanna start And when i starts it has no problem to play any song..

Same issue with my flip 4

New battery but still crack sound

The same problem i have rn

*not exactly volume but volume of low frequencies

that was exactly the same problem I had with my flip4. now it's no longer powering on. JBL is charging me $100 for repair.

Nobody shows where the mic is located. My mic went bad.

What's up with the music too loud , you're difficult to understand

Imagine that. the speaker is the result of a faulty battery! Will replace when given the chance

whats up with the crying baby in the background at the beginning ?

my jbl went 2m under water and the limit is 1m

I'm selling a White JBL flip 4, It has a Bad Battery and Crackling on higher volume, Terrible squeeks that hurt your ears.

I have every tool to do this other than a fucking chopstick….. Rip 🪦

This is all accidental

Go have a look at my youtube account for a video of the jbl
