These instructions are great, but they're useless unless you can find a replacement micro USB port… Any suggestions? Because I couldn't find one online that indicated it was compatible with the OontZ…
Couldn't find proper exact port... so just removed old port from board with dykes, used a junk usb cable and directly soldered the + and - leads of cable to circuit board. ( removed mic at top ( didn't use it )) and fed cable thru mic hole out ( hot glue on inside so cable doesn't pull ).... now speaker has a 6" tail for charging.
Works as good as new, no issue charging.
They are on ebay, just have to take time and have tools to install, im gonna do it soon to mine...
