This House Of Marley Get It Together Mini Bluetooth Speaker was purchased from eBay as faulty/no power.
Let's take it apart, see if we can work out what's wrong and try to repair it!
Hope you enjoy!

A quick tip for hot glue removal. Grab yourself some of that canned air you use for cleaning computers. Turn the can upside down and spray it onto the hot glue. The super cold spray that comes out makes the hot glue instantly brittle so it can easily be chipped away with a screwdriver and or cutters…whichever is appropriate for your particular situation.

@budzillasohoski9858 Год назад

@Klip One liquid nitrogen, not hydrogen : )

@followthetrawler Год назад

Bit late to this fix, but really well done - adapting what you have is a sign of a true maker. Those speakers are £99 now, so it was still well worth attempting the fix rather than consigning to landfill.

Using micro USB connectors on a device like this is just asking for trouble. Unfortunately you get what you pay for these days and the chinese are experts at cost minimization. Anyway, greetings from New Zealand. I'm an electronics technician with 40+ years under my belt of servicing to component level domestic and professional audio products (and many other things!) and I still enjoy watching others working on things as it gives me ideas. This video was useful to show me what these units are like inside and how to get into one. Not that I have had one land on my repair bench, but it's always possible.

@Wenlocktvdx 2 года назад

Love the look of these speakers. My brother has an older model that is powered via a barrel jack rather USB. It came from eBay without a power supply and there are various voltages, so getting a replacement is awkward. I recently found him a Marley Liberate Bluetooth mini speaker at the local thrift shop for $5. Big sound for a small speaker, although it doesn’t quite match the larger model for deep base of course.

@StezStixFix 2 года назад

Yeah, they look really smart and the sound quality is pretty good too. I've been using mine today, very handy to have as a portable device around the home! 👍

I literally got mine replaced by a new one 2 years ago for that exact reason! It feels like you fixed my old get together mini. Good job!

@CTCTraining1 2 года назад

Well done Steve .. first fix for the New Year and adapting ports to fit can be a pain. Reminds me that someone should be selling a bundle of different ports with different pin configurations (bit like the bundles of transistors or passive components). Keep up the great work 👍😀

@StezStixFix 2 года назад

Thanks Chris! I did buy a box of a few different ports, but they are all very similar! Would be great to get a much bigger selection for times like this!

@kikihobbyrepair 2 года назад

Nice fix Steve! One advise from me is to use more flux everywhere. Even for wicking and applying low melt solder. It makes life so much easier 🙂

@StezStixFix 2 года назад

Thanks Kiki! I do have a habit of not using enough, you're dead right! I need to keep reminding myself it's OK and it cleans off! 👍

@Adrian_Finn 2 года назад

I have to admit when Steve was applying the low melt and it was all stodgy, I was shouting in my mind "You've got flux, use it!". I know Steve know this anyway, great fix as always.

@sw6188 2 года назад

@@sixxfinga1864 You may have been responsible for the prongs bending, but if the socket was of a decent size and physical strength (= better quality) it wouldn't have suffered such damage. That's the problem, the USB charging sockets just aren't designed for the constant plugging in and out of the charge plug.

@Freedom_and_Democracy 2 года назад

Got one of these. They didn't design reinforcement for the connector or chose a weak connector design. That's why I use a magnetic break away connector and cable. Also, the wood panel on the back delaminates from the rubber, fixed mine. I'm also going to add grates to the speakers since they are exposed. Sound quality is pretty good though.

I know you have a desoldering iron, but have you considered using a spring loaded solder sucker instead of the braid? It's a lot easier to use and quicker too.

@samholdsworth420 2 года назад

I have both, prefer the braid dunno why

@sw6188 2 года назад

Also cheaper. Using braid all the time gets expensive. I have been doing repair work on domestic and professional electronics for 40+ years and the only time I use braid is when I have an IC or some complex part with multiple pins that is going to be difficult to remove from the board. Otherwise I just use a manual solder sucker and have done my whole life. I am considering buying a desoldering station but it's not high on the agenda - I can remove parts quickly with the manual tool.

You could cover over the modified plastic plate with one of those cheap USB-to-magnetic adapters. That way you cover the botch and extend the life of the port with a magnetic connector that wan't hurt the device.

@JoshuaJoshua0 2 года назад

I read some of those can do damage if the ground pin isn't connected first

@OntologicalQuandry 2 года назад

@@JoshuaJoshua0 As an electronics engineer I can tell you that is likely impossible. In fact, since no connector is perfect in its own right, I can't think of any way such damage might occur, but I can't tell you what's right, you can only find out for yourself (or not).

@JoshuaJoshua0 2 года назад

@@OntologicalQuandry Awesome! I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for explaining it.

@OntologicalQuandry 2 года назад

@@JoshuaJoshua0 OK, well let's explain what your fear might be. Without the ground, the positive only is in contact, but without the ground no current can flow and no potential can be established, so you can't burn anything or zap anything. You might think, oh, but the power supply has no ground so there may be some power noise on the power line, but that is equally true of the ground since it is not actually grounded. The only means I can think is if you have another truly grounded thing connected and then connect the power, but even then, the energy involved is so small that it can't harm anything.

@JoshuaJoshua0 2 года назад

@@OntologicalQuandry Ah, I was referring to the timing of connecting the ground pin and the data pins. You want the ground to connect before the data pins right?

Good sound, but: My Bluetooth Speaker after falling down once broken. On my request, no spare parts or repair option. Sustainability can only be achieved through circular economy and I feel screwed. Quote website: "Every Marley product shows that responsibility to the environment is taken very seriously." Such a thing is also called greenwashing and is even more disgusting than standing by one's greed for profit and, by the way, has nothing to do with Marley's values. The "support" (only reachable by mail) didn't even understand what I mean at all. I am very very disappointed and can really no longer recommend these products to anyone. For JBL, on the other hand, there are many spare parts. The Marley speaker now ends up in the trash can - really sustainable, really climate-friendly.
