Use a strong light and a magnifying glass to check the charge port in the speaker .
Ensure that all the pins (5) are there and that they are all straight and parallel with each other.
Also check the port enclosure for lint etc.

If there is debris in there, use a vacuum cleaner to remove it. It it doesn't want to come out use a wooden toothpick to ''gently'' try and prise it out. Do not use a metal pin etc., you don't want to break any pins!

If the port seems to be OK then perhaps it has become detached from the motherboard.
Here is a link to the ifixit [guide|61272] guide.
This is useful as it shows how to remove the motherboard so that easy access to the charge port is available.

If it is loose (or even faulty) you'll need SMD (surface mounted device) soldering skills and tools to effect a repair or replacement.
If this seems too daunting then take the motherboard to a mobile phone or laptop repair service and ask for a quote to repair the port. As you have already dis-assembled the speaker (and will no doubt re-assemble it) the job should be quite quick and easy to do for the repairer therefore hopefully reducing the repair cost.
