This procedure is necessary if the Bluetooth chip is broken and needs to be replaced. If the device’s Bluetooth connection chip is broken, it stops the device from pairing at all and prevents any Bluetooth interaction.

Before attempting to replace anything, it is recommended that you look at this device’s troubleshooting guide.

If you wish to restore the Bluetooth ability of your speaker, you must desolder the Bluetooth chip and replace it. Beware this is incredibly hard to do. The procedure requires tools to open the speaker and unscrew the fastening screws. Soldering experience is needed.
