    • Follow this step if the wires are still connected. If they aren't, skip to the next step.

    • If the wiring to the circuit board seems fine, use a razor or wire strippers to clear the rubber insulation away from the USB.

    • Keep track of the colors! If you connect the wrong wires together, the speaker won't work, and you could ruin the board!

    • After removing the rubber insulation from the smaller wires, remove the access USB.

    • Splice in the new USB and wrap the connection with the colored wires in electrical tape.

    • If you end up with reduced sound quality, you may need to solder after all. Continue to the next step in that case.
