If your Sonos Roam is unresponsive, having problems turning on, not staying on, and you have already tried replacing the outer circuit board then use this guide to replace the inner circuit board.
This circuit board is responsible for sending signals to the entire device. This means it is in charge of connectivity, charging, and audio for the Sonos Roam.
Before using this guide, try rebooting your Sonos Roam.
There are steps that recommend (not require) the use of the iOpener. This will help with carefully removing the adhesive used to keep this device together. Refer to this link on how to properly use the iOpener.

Grab the small ribbon with the tweezers and pull upwards to remove it.
A diagram of how the latch works would be helpful as well as the photo
When re-assembling, I used tweezers to put the ribbons in place. The ribbons have keys that stick out, and the ribbon must be far enough toward the latch for the ribbons' keys to be past the notches on the white-ish mount point. With the ribbon mostly flat, I closed the latch. Everything is working.

Use a soldering iron to desolder the outer circuit board from the speaker casing.
is it necessary to desolder the board to replace the battery? it appears subsequent steps just push it to the side...
Same here, not sure if that is a necessary step to replace the battery
I made the repair without soldering. Works without any problem
Same here. No need to desolder

Step 11 is optional. There is no need to unsolder the circuit board to get the battery out, you can pry the cable off and move the board out of the way while it is still attached to the case.
Agree with prior comment, did not unsolder wire and still completed successful battery change.
FYI, my Sonos battery most probably failed as the charger was not sufficient power. This was not in any literature but Sonos help line stated minimum power needed.
I also agree that step 11 is unnecessary. No need to unsolder anything, just carefully flip the board out of the way. This lead is going to one of the antennas, so I would not want to deal with resoldering this micro-coax. Hardest part is dealing with all the adhesive.
Bravo pour les explications très claires, précise et bien illustrées !! Il est vrai que dessouder le fil n'est pas nécessaire .. de si quelqu'un peut dire à SONOS qu'un petit interrupteur à pression serait bien utile pour un hard reset des enceintes plutot que de devoir démonter les batteries :-)

Danke für die Anleitung.
Ich müsste die Leiterplatte auch tauschen. Weiß jemand, wo es noch passenden Ersatz gibt?
Danke aber das hatte ich schon versucht. Bietet man nicht an. Ich kann den Fehler eingrenzen aber den Chip bekomme ich leider auch nirgends.
What about IP67 rating? Am I going to lose the water resistance rating if I do not reapply some glue or additional adhesive when reassembling things back?
