Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin Air: need help disassembling my Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Wireless

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 03:01:33 -0700

Hi everyone,

I need help disassembling my Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Wireless (the newer model without iPod dock, manufactured around 2015-2016).

The power socket is loose/broken and I need to access the internals to repair or replace it.

So far I have located two plastic covers on the bottom oval plate, removed them, and unscrewed the two screws underneath — but the base plate still won’t move.

I cannot find any teardown guide or video specific to this model online. The iFixit guide available is for the older Zeppelin with the iPod dock, which is a different design.

Could anyone help with:

1. How to properly open this unit without breaking the plastic clips?

2. Is there a hidden step I’m missing after removing the two screws?

3. Any video or guide specific to this newer Zeppelin Wireless model?

I have attached a photo of the bottom of the unit.

Thank you!

I need to recover so I can bring it back to life.
The recovery utility is no longer on the B&W site.

Does anyone still have the Windows “ZeppelinAirRecoveryUtility.exe” for the 30‑pin Zeppelin Air? My unit won’t enter DFU mode and the Mac tool can’t repair the bootloader. The original B&W download link is dead.

If you still have the installer, could you please upload it or send it to me?

Roku RC-MC1 remote: Headphone jack not detecting when a device is plugged in.

Sat, 02 Aug 2025 05:32:15 -0700

Bought the thing specifically for the headphone jack and like 2-3 weeks in it stops working. Tried several different pairs of headphones and no dice. I’m assuming they put a relatively cheap jack in there but still annoying. I assume I’ll have to tear it apart and re-solder a joint somewhere but figured I’d ask the experts here first. Any help is appreciated!

First, the down arrow got stuck so the tv was just scrolling a lot. The other arrows still worked. But now only the right arrow responds to the tv.

iHome iH6: The set/time wheel doesn’t work. I’m not able to adjust the time.

Mon, 30 Dec 2024 22:04:53 -0700

Admittedly, my iH6 was very dusty, but even after blowing out the dust, I’m unable to adjust the time. I spin the dial and nothing happens.

Speakers work great, volume wheel works much better after the dusting, but…

I tried taking the back off to try and clean the dust from under the wheel, but the speaker was in the way. Is there a workaround?

My iPAL was overcharged and diodes 1 2 8 were cooked do you know the values of D1, D2, and D8? The battery pack is charged by a 12v 500mA supply but was connected to a 19v 2A one by mistake. I found someone who knew the value of D1 and D2 being 1N4002.

Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin Air: Zeppelin Air Powers on and buzzes for 10 seconds then turns off.

Tue, 12 Apr 2022 15:17:07 -0700

I have looked into this and the psu appears to be OK. There is 5v on the standby supply and + - 18v on the amp main supply rails.

But as soon as you turn it on there is 18v dc across the sub woofer terminals. After a few seconds the amp protection kicks in and turns the unit off

I think this is a known fault with the d class output stage for the woofer. But whilst I can find a lot about the Psu I am struggling to find info about the amp.
