You are an actual god, my man. Thank you. For those of you out there that don't have soldering tools, I held an opened up paperclip in a pair of pliers. I heated the paperclip over a flame until it was red. I used a pair of tweezers with my other hand to clamp the wire tightly against the board while applying the hot paperclip to melt the glue. It reseated the wire well enough, and it's been working fine. Obviously use caution, and enlist the help of an adult if you're on the younger side because it takes some steady hands and can be dangerous

I just this on my Charge 3 that I've had for years. It started to crackle 2 days ago and got worse, took it apart & thought I would replace the speaker. I'm soooo glad I came across your video!!! Props to you for sharing 👏🙌👍. Now I got my speaker back with a quick fix.

We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning kzread.infoUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.

Thanks man! you're a life saver. Living in NZ and every single shop refuses to service JBL charge 3's now because its "outdated" or "obsolete". The manufacturer even provides no service to replace or fix which I think is ridiculous. I've heard of so many people with this exact issue on the model. Perhaps there's a business model for me here? might be some money in it! lol

Just got mine fixed just AS YOU SAID Was the right side with that sound of broken speaker or blown... so i took off the speaker and turned it around to find a spot where the cable stays tight, wich is when it stops the sound and used CRC QD Electronic Cleaner that is my best friend when dealing with electrical issues like this one JBL Charge3 Works perfect again...

Sumtingwong Richard I had bought a Charge 3 on sale in the beginning of 2019 and the speaker had defiantly disappointed me. For the Charge 3’s high price, the quality is bad. Speakers such as the Sony SRS-XB30 series are a very large improvement over the JBL as they have clearer sounding bass, fun party functions, are louder, and can distribute power better, as they also are built from nicer feeing materials. Don’t buy JBL people! They’re Shit!!

Thank jeebus it's an easy fix...I got two Charge 3's last year and one started with the static/crackle. I did want to ask what you used to take off the waterproof cover, and if you think that it's water resistance is affected after reassembly?? Thanks for the vid man!!

well ill be damned. tried this and it actually has improved the crackle immensely. First identify the problem speaker then find the connection that looks the loosest. recommend using the smallest soldering iron you can because of how inaccessible the connection is, but definitely give it a try. cheers great vid

Thanks for making this video! Thanks to you i fixt my speaker. Thanks!!

5 years later and I'm definitely hoping to revive the old charge 3 this afternoon doing this :)

Dude Just used you tips! Thank for your help, harder part was to learn how to solder without making a mess, which I train a couple of times in older wires. Also make sure to buy solder wire with flux in it (I used 2% flux) Other Than that Pretty straight forward Thanks

Does this also work on an jbl xtreme?

Thank u so much can’t believe It was that simple I thought I was just gonna have to buy a new one god bless 🙏🏽

I checked my connections on the speaker they were fine having this same issue thought it was the batt but i replaced the batt already do u think a cap on the board would cause this issue too?

thank u soo much. glue in one of the two copper wire was melted.so the wire used to vibrate when bass kicks and hence the cause of crackling sound.i used super glue in that wire and worked perfectly fine.its working as a new speaker

Gonna check this out today! Mine just started with a rattle/crackle I just couldn't figure out but never thought of the wire behind the connection tabs!

@@WtfBoomKed so I did it. And it worked like a charm. What I did? basically I unscrewed both speakers and check with music which one was really causing the issue. Sometimes it can be both so be sure of this first. If you can't tell wich one is causing it, it might be both. Then I payed attention on the soldering. It looked normal. Nothing out of place nor loose. Using a soldering pen (or whatever you call them in your country) and melted the soldering metal until it turned liquid. Do not remove it. Unless it looks dirty and you can replace it with a new one, better keep it. Then moved around so the connectors where engulfed in it again and made sure all was in contact. My suggestion for this is, carefully do this and then play music again. I did not noticed any significant changes but screwed them back carefully not to push them too much against the plastic. The rule is "not tight". PRO TIP: After putting it back turn it down. Now Turn it on. Wait until it's on then long press at the same time the Bluetooth and volume down for about 10+ seconds and release. One of the 5 lights will turn red. You'll notice. Play music and you'll see it sounds diferent. That turns the bass boost on and off. Sometimes that affects. Do it until you hear it the way you most like it. Profit.

NiceOne! Thank you bro i was planning to buy or convert new driver to my charge 3 but luckily i watch your video and Yes its working again like a brandnew MARAMING SALAMAT #fromphilippines

I don’t know how to solder but what I did is I stuck cotton in between that copper wire to reduce the vibration created by the speaker so the cotton holds the copper wire in place reducing the buzzing noise... it’s just a temporary fix because I don’t know how to solder.

Works perfectly, thanks dude!!!

Thank you! Kept me from buying a new speaker! Super helpful.

Thank you but you did what I speak not English ??? Can't we see it on the video? I have the same problem on my loaded jbl 3 which also sizzles, it was the solder which is defective, is that correct you replaced the speaker or not ???

I had the same problem. I only cleaned up the speaker inside and now it is working

My issue is the copper wire that’s inside the speaker cup I moved the wire and it worked better. Too bad mine isn’t where yours was. Thanks for the info. Amazon sells a replacement speaker for 9 dollars so I’ll just swap it out.

Thanks man you really help me it was the gold wire

can i use glue gun after i soldered? it because my jbl is cracking now

You are saving me $60-$70,as after soldering supplies my speaker roun up to about $35.For a Jbl Charge 3.dont have it yet but am getting it today. I say today because it is 1 am.

Well, I actually replaced the little speakers thinking it was that and it is still cracly so I will have to look inside to find maybe another loose wire

When you re-solder the internal coil wire lead connection of the speaker you really have to be careful that the solder is not flowing further into the wire where it is vibrating, cause the the wire will tear down in time
