Soundcore Liberty Air 2 charging case Teardown

ID: 152159

Description: Because of a recent problem of my earbuds no...

Steps:

  1. Jimmy a pick between the inner and outer casing as depicted on the picture. Carefully use it as a bit of a lever to lift the inner casing a little. A sturdier item is required.
  2. There are no wires or other components (besides the magnets) between inner and outer casing, so do not worry if you jam it in too deep.

  3. Once loosened a little, you can use the holes (as marked on the image) next to the magnets and the outer case as a lever to lift the inner case out of the outer case. You should be able to to fully seperate outer and inner case.
  4. Be careful around the magnets as they can loosen when wedging a pick in the case. They can easily be glued back on however.

  11. When removing, be carefull not to remove it too far outwards, as the copper wires connecting the coil to the main circuit are not too long. You might damage the copper wires.

  14. Remove the two phillips #00 screws from the main circuit board
  15. There is a connector cable that needs to be removed from the print plate. This can be removed by gently pulling out the main circuit board from the inner case
  16. When putting the main circuit board back in the case, it might be little tricky to connect to the print plate due to limited space. Do not forget to lift the black plate at the connector port and closing the black plate after it is connected.
