Recently the charging plug on one of my Bluetooth speakers broke and I decided to take the speaker apart. I initially just wanted to take it apart to see what was there, and show my son the electronics inside however I decided I would also post the info on my blog just in case anyone was interested.
The speaker was an Aduro S2 (Sound Squared) speaker. Unfortunately I didn't take any step by step photos, but here are the photos I did take.

| After unscrewing a bunch of things (and breaking a few pieces of plastic) these are all the parts I had. |

| Speakers |

| Battery (Left) and circuit board (Right) |

| Close up of the circuit board |
 |
| The microUSB connector that broke off the circuit board. |
 |
| Bottom of the circuit board, pretty sure the smaller circuit is the Bluetooth receiver |
 |
These parts were at the hinge parts of the assembly.
Pretty sure they just gave resistance when you adjusted the speaker |
 |
The battery - based on some research online it seems to be a Lithium polymer battery.
The case seems to be a metal foil and not a hard material but I didn't go poking it or anything. |
I was thinking about trying to solder some wires to supply the power that would have come through the mircroUSB port, but I don't know where my soldering pen is and I don't know if I even want to take the time to do it. Even if I don't fix it, I think it was interesting to take it apart and see what was inside the speaker.
