Using the spudger, create space between the speaker covers and then remove.
On the underside of the device, remove the rubber stand with the BeatsPill logo on it.
Using an ESD-safe Phillips #0 screwdriver, remove the four screws that were underneath the rubber stand.

I bought a brand new Beats Pill 1.0 online last week the first night it seemed to work all right the next day I charged it I plugged it in and it was crackling on the left hand side from the front and now the whole volume of both sides very low but it is still getting a Bluetooth connectivity I tried to reset it by holding the baby and the power button to get this thing in the back to flag it would not reset that way any suggestions I meant it is for a lot of money I paid $170 I thought I was getting a brand new device

Is this two batteries we need to replace? Or is just the right one the battery?

The batteries I bought from Amazon came with two batteries alreaded connected to one another. One one set of leads needs to be soldered

Where is the yellow NFC module in the photo? I do not think there is a picture of it removed.

You see a part of it on Photoshop step 7, on the top, it’s stuck behind the motherboard screws, just lift it loose with a tweezer or something, it could be a little bit ‘glued’/fixed to its surroundings. After battery change, just put it back, does not need any fixation.

bobapunk - 20/05/18

Are there two batteries in this thing, or is the left black box a different part?

hello, my dear friend, we have remplacement battery for Beat Pill 2.0. are you interested in introducing it? feel free to contact me.

I bought a cheap speaker for no where near the price of what the pill cost me. The battery never runs out! I have had it for years! The pill on the other hand I have changed one already and does not even turn on! Beats should be ashamed for charging what they do for such a poor product with a expensive price tag! And now I’m expected to open it up myself and change the battery! I feel completely mugged off by BEATS. You know that saying about the more expensive the better the product? It’s a 100% lies! Don’t be fooled by a label! Most of the things you purchase are made in China or India and sent to another country where they are stamped and claim it’s made in that county. Wake up people !
