My teenage son finally brought me his flip 4 that apparently stopped working a few months ago. He thought he or someone else broke it somehow, since he always brought his speaker along for away-games for his different sports. He thought he was in trouble! Your video saved the day, his hide, and the speaker! 😂 Thank you!

This totally worked for me. It was the exact cable issue you mentioned in this video. It's almost hard to notice as it really doesn't look like anything is goin on. But the little clip was loose, so I gently pushed the cable back in with a screwdriver and voila! It worked. Also, for anyone that reads this, the mesh 'shell' isn't indestructable. I had one of the little clips break. Not a major issue, just FYI.

I may have stripped all the screws during the process, but it worked for me! Thank you!!!!

Fixed my speaker, thanks I thought I had a new brick. One note I would add, is that those little speaker magnets are powerful and I wasn't ready and it pulled my screwdriver right through the driver. Still sounds fine, but i would be careful on that one. Thanks Again

Thanks. Great demo video. Word of warning to anyone trying this repair: Be careful with your screwdriver around the speaker cones. I was unscrewing the first four screws with a jeweler’s screwdriver and the magnet inside one of the cones attracted the metal and pulled the tip of the screwdriver right through the cone, causing a small hole. Uggggh! Repaired it with superglue. Seems to be working with no distortion. Time will tell though.🤞I was majorly pissed.

Hey bro, my speakers lights are illuminated fully when it's charging from being dead as opposed to the normal 12345 process. As well I hear some sounds during louder noises. Should I try and open it like you did and could it be attributed to having dropped it once. About 2 feet from bed to floor.

Tried to press power and forward buttons at the same time I got mine fix like that. I had the Flip 4 for about a year and bought another brand new. 5 minutes after I took it out of the box sealed like I said it did not get any charge tried all kind of dif. Outlets and I saw this tutorial wich is amazing and when I was about to do the opening and reset the unit. Some magical hands came and press the power and the forward buttons at the same time and in 4 seconds the unit just turn on and I didn't have to do the operation. Thank you for this tutorial anyway.

I helped me, thanks. What I did, after reinserting, and locking connector, I put over few drops of glue and let it dry. ( if problem repeat, I will throw unit and will by another brand..) It is design flaw as lock on that connector it not strong - too many complains-, which is not acceptable in such device as vibration of sounds( this is speaker after all,)eventually hit the weakest spot... Here the WARNING: when I lifted 4 screw piece ( the one with mini USB for charging) to push cable, this piece got disconnected from 2 other cables [small white connectors]- I had to remove side cover/diaphragm and use fine tweezers to connect them back..Good luck, and next time buy another brand ..
