Soundboks 4 PCBA Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Sometimes your SOUNDBOKS just isn't feeling it. Weird lights, won't turn on, no sound, that sort of thing.

The usual suspect is the PCBA. It's the electronics board, the brain and heart of the whole thing, and sometimes it needs replacing.

Note: Every PCBA is pre-configured with your speaker's serial number and Team-ID.
Order it by contacting customer service on www.soundboks.com
