Description: Sometimes your SOUNDBOKS just isn't feeling it....

Steps:

1. Turn off your speaker by disconnecting the battery

2. Unscrew the Volume Knob by using the 2.5mm Hex/Allen Key
3. Remove the nut and washer using the 10mm Socket Tool

4. Unscrew the UI panel with the 3mm Hex bit - 6 screws in total

13. Remove the PCBA from the plastic housing

14. 4 Screws back in - don't over-tighten!
15. Antenna cable back on - use a zip-tie and cut of the excess
16. Add a small drop of silicone glue (at the red arrow)
17. If using a glue substitute, make sure it is not corrosive or hot-glue

18. Add the washer first, then the 10mm nut
19. Tighten the 10mm nut
20. The encoder has a flat side - match this side with the volume knob screw
21. Add pressure from top while tightening with the 2.5mm key
22. No power tools here - stuff may break
