            Use the metal spudger to gently pry and lift the edge of the seam. The cover is held in place with plastic snaps that will make a popping noise when disengaged. !!Start with the back half, this will expose TWO Screws that need to be removed before lifting the front half.

            For the first part of the case: gently pull back the edges of the case rotating along the hinge opposite the opening seam illustrated in the second photo. Plastic snaps hold the cover in place.

            For the second part of the case: there are 2 screws to be removed at the seam. Once removed, the case will come off completely without forcing.

Please I have a JBL XTREME that sparks each time I plug it. What could be the cause
Hi. Can someone advise where a replacement charging port can be sourced? I.e., so I can desolder the existing one and solder a new one in its place. The existing one is badly corroded so the unit won't charge. Thanks Andy
