JBL Link10 Broken Charge Port

JBL Link 10 does not charge anymore because the USB connector broke off the charge board. There are two possible fixes for this. Either spend about $30 on a new charge board, or spend $2 on a new USB-C socket.

You can convert this speaker to USB-C charging. In this video i show how i did that, and what you have to watch out for when charging with USB-C.
