What do I replace once I have it apart? Where's the charging port? How do I get another charging port that works?
The charging port and the aux input are mounted to a circuit board enclosed within a small compartment on the back panel. We didn’t open the compartment in this guide because it requires breaking the seal of the compartment’s gasket, which would be unreasonable to replace. We figured it would be easier to replace the whole back panel instead. My advice for finding a new charging port would be to scour eBay or a similar site for a broken Mini Lifejacket and use its entire back panel as the replacement.
can you charge it with an ac adapter like through the aux port?
Mine has the ports on the side not the back were do i get this part
on the IMW-477-CG, the front grill covering the speakers did not have to be removed, only the back. This would potentially avoid damage to the speakers.
In my case, the micro-usb connector was separated from the board. Looks like it was surface mount soldered and power cord stress bending the connector up off the board broke it off.
The 477 also does not have connectors like in the pictures. It’s all soldered.
Where can we find a replacement back?
