    • Locate the ends of the speaker.

    • Put a plastic opening tool in-between the rubber end and the mesh.

    • Apply a upward force in order to pry open the end.

    • Apply this procedure to the other side as well.

    • Will take force.

    • Using metal tools may permanently mar your device.

    Pry all the way around with the tool as there are “clips” that hold the cap in place all around beneath the cap. Avoid trying to “pull the lid open” from the opening of a half opened lid.

    Stop! Before you proceed, notice the comments at the end of the guide. You don't have to take apart both sides or remove the mesh fabric. Remove just the bottom cap (with the aux/charge plug).

    Then carefully remove the glue securing the circuit board on the sides and gently pull the board out to reveal the battery under it.

    FWIW I had no luck opening these caps with the tools I bought on iFixit (plastic pry bar, metal Jimmy). I had a lot more luck using the flat edge of a butter knife! (it still took lots of work on my UE Megaboom 3)

    • Take the Jimmy and pry up the rubber strip that has the volume buttons on it.

    • You will hear clicks as it pries up, don't worry.

    • Remove all the rubber you pried off.

    • Use tweezers to lift end of plastic retainer on edge of mesh out of its channel.

    • Work the plastic retainer out of the channel all the way around the speaker.

    • Be gentle, it is easy to damage the fabric.

    • Repeat for other side.

    No need to remove fabric or remove both sides.

    • Locate the end of the speaker which contains the power button.

    • The circuit board which contains the power button should be visible.

    • Grasp the outer rim of this end cap and pull in an upward motion.

    • This might require some force.

  5. pkWg3jTJuZZxeLMX

    • Insert a opening tool between the circuit board and one of the black clips which is holding the board in place.

    • Using the opening tool pry up on the clip allowing the board to be freed. Pry up on the second clip to fully release the board.

    • Using your fingers lift the board out of place.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
