Just a heads up if you take this apart. I took mine apart to fix a broken charge port. When reassembling, the biggest ribbon cable, 8 pins, came disconnected from the sub side (none motherboard side), and I panicked because I could not for the life of me figure out where it was connected to. Upon closer inspection I found the lettering “fwupdate" on the sub end. The sub end has 8 male pins in two rows of four, very similar to a pc motherboard usb 2.0 header. The motherboard side has a white plastic female connector with one row of 8.
This cable is not needed for the speaker to function. I ultimately found where it goes, it was glued to two plastic posts next to the sub behind the battery. In front of it is an opening which is behind the battery. I’m guessing tdk can pull the battery and use the access hole to plug a cable to the 8 male pins for firmware updates. As I dont plan on sending it to tdk for anything, I simply left this cable out, and when reassembled all functions of the speaker work to include bluetooth, aux, volume control, charging, power knob button and power switch, usb port, etc.

I just found out my charging port was broken too. I had to pry the power cable to power up the speaker and as soon as I let go it would die. Turns out a weld holding the port to its little pcb craked, welded it back up and now it’s working fine.
