Introduction
In this guide you will learn how to replace the motherboard in your Treblab HD77. The motherboard is the control center that connects all of the electrical components of your speaker. Any issues that regard charging, Bluetooth connection, sound quality, the LEDs or anything else of that nature, could be a direct result of an issue with the motherboard. Even if every component of the speaker is in perfect condition and works fine, a faulty motherboard can cause those components to function improperly or stop them from functioning all together. For this reason the motherboard is a necessity to the functionality of any electronic device and this guide aims to help in replacing the motherboard for the Treblab HD77.
Note that this speaker is water resistant and as a result uses a water resistant adhesive in some areas which will have to be removed in certain areas in order to access the motherboard. To restore its water resistance, this adhesive will need to be manually reapplied before reassembling the speaker.
