Awesome video! It doesn't differ too much from previous models such as Flip4, however I'm dissapointed too see JBL making the process more difficult, needing to remove both speaker and motherboard, that wasn't necessary in other models, that and no retrocompatibility with Connect+, leaving you stranded if you want to pair your speaker with your friend's flip 4 only because he didn't buy the new one
*For all who struggle because it doesnt work like in the video* TRY THIS - #Cameron_Sino maybe you can pin this! As experienced and mentioned by others in the comments there seem to be other (newer?) versions of the JBL Flip 5 - where the inside looks different and you have to work it different than in this video. I repaired mine so I thought it would be cool for you if I made a little instruction: 1. You have to make things different than in this video. So you should not try to force the material to behave like in this video. Otherwise you will break things. 2. The first cable with the white adapter, that is connected to the platine, will go off, if you just gently push it side to side, pull a little, again push side to side and so on. 3. Don't try to remove the speaker (as you experienced it in your attempt). Just pull it out and work around the cables having the speakers hang outside while still connected. 4. Pull off the sticky black foam in the back so you can work there. There is also foam on the platina. I removed a lot of it because it makes it easier to remove the platina afterwards. 5. There are several ribbon cables that connect the platine to the outer body of your JBL Flip 5. Open and disconnect all of them but take a picture to make sure you remember which one has to go back in which place (there are numbers on the ribbon cables that help you to identify them afterwards). Especially one ribbon cable is pretty hard to reach as it lays on the inside. Some ribbon cables can be taken off after pulling the little plastic barrier up. Others (the brown ones) are not working like that. You have to pull them up parallel to the cable. They will come off easy. Then you can pull the ribbon cable off. Sounds complicated but it isnt. 6. Yes, the bluetooth antenna is sensitive. But if you just gently solve it it shouldnt break. You have to be careful there. 7. there is another little cable with a golden knob. It is connected to the outer body of your Flip 5. You can just pull it off. It will be easy to reattach it. 8. At this moment all cables should be removed from the outer box of your Flip 5. If the cables are not removed, dont proceed! 9. The platina is very hard to move. Just pull off some of the black foam thats on the edges (but gently!!). That should make it easier. You really have to push your fingers against it. It will come into your direction. 10. Because you removed all the cables you can pull off the platina far more than in the video. 11. Replace the battery. 12. The rest is not easy but you will get there by yourself. Basically putting the cables back and so on. Kind regards
@@daniellittlefield11 I have one, 2yrs now. Not in use as I have connection issues whenever any software update comes in mac. So I bought a Logi 2.1 wired speaker. So thinking should to keep or sell it for someone in ebay for their rate...... if not using, gradually the battery will die. Without knowing.....

I have a JBL Flip 4 and how do you change the battery?
How long the battery last?
Great video, but your website to buy your battery is too complicated.
Will the 21700 battery fit into the battery compartment?
Where you bay this battery?

will it work without a battery if we connect a USB charger always?
No, the battery just went in mine and if theres no battery, it won’t do anything even if plugged in.
