If the buttons are not working, and you have tried other troubleshooting technique, you can use this guide to remove and replace just the buttons, rather than having to buy a whole new speaker.

Insert the flat edge of the metal spudger underneath the corner of the outer case.
-
Use the spudger to pry open the plastic clips that secure the outer case.
-
-
-
Once all the clips are released, you will be able to pull up that edge of the case.
-
-
-
Once one side is released, complete the previous two steps with the other side.
-
-
-
Once all the clips are removed, you can gently remove the outer case.
-
The case is now fully removed. Now a new case will be attached by putting the case into position and pushing on the clips to reattach them.

-
-
Begin by unscrewing the four 9.6 mm-long screws with the Philips #00 screwdriver.
-
-
-
-
Once screws are fully out make sure to carefully pull out so the wires connected don't get damaged.
-
-
-
Once you carefully lift up the speaker, gently disconnect the wire that connects the speaker to the motherboard.
-
-
-
Once connection has been disconnected you can lift the speaker completely out.
-
-
-
The next part needed to remove covers each side and the power and bluetooth buttons in a middle strip along the speaker.
-
Begin (as shown in the second picture) by unscrewing the two screws (17mm each) with the Philips #00 screwdriver.
-
Then flip the device around and unscrew the other two screws (17 mm each) on the other side just the same.
-
-
-
Once all the screws are removed, pull the passive radiator bracket on either end off.
-
Set the passive radiator bracket to the side. It is not needed for the buttons replacement.
-
-
-
Next you must remove the passive radiator.
-
To do so use the metal spudger to undo the clips holding it down.
-
Once the clips on both sides are removed, you can pull the left and right passive radiators off the device.

-
There you can use tweezers or your fingers to unhook the connection of the buttons board to the rest of the device.

-
Peel the rubber cover off using a metal spudger. It may be very sticky, so you may need to pull hard.
-
Then peel the cover off using your fingers.
-
-
-
Again use the spudger to pull the buttons board off.
-
-
-
Use the metal spudger to again pull the board containing the power and bluetooth buttons off from the device. It is located next to the strap.

I think the newer JBL Flip 5 speakers have updated internals. I received a Flip 5 as a gift years ago and recently had to replace the battery using the tutorials on this website, and it went off without a hitch. I decided to buy another Flip 5 to use the party feature; I accidentally dropped it, and the buttons on the side stopped working. This is when I found out that the internals of my two JBL Flip 5 speakers looked different. This is only my second time trying to repair something on my own, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
