@hyklamin that is correct. The replacement comes like that. Here is the bad part, those are really hard to find and you may need to find a broken Soundlink to harvest that connector from there. Or, if you know somebody who can do 3D printing, make your own plastic casing with some options to slide a replacement USB port etc., into it. Then get some connectors from places like Mouser or Digikey and rig it up. PITA but doable. this is going to be more a re-engineering than a straight replacement.
