Remove the four 1.8 cm-long T15 Torx Security screws from the outer case.
It's NOT torx plus. It's torx SECURITY. Torx Plus is designed for high torque situations. The bit with the hole in the middle is Torx Security.
So what size Torx Security bit is needed for this task please and thank you
Disappointed the Pro Tech Toolkit didn’t include the tip I needed. However I would like to know how to buy a 1.8 tip. The link you give in the list of tools needed takes me to a product on Amazon which includes 10, 15, 20 tips. I’d assume a 1.8 cm would be an 18?
1,8 cm is the length of the screw. Security Torx f a center pin, so you need a tip with a corresponding hole. Try 10, 15 or 20.

Torx 5 point 15IPR
Luckily, there was no glue on the screws in my unit. The screws came out without incident, using a Protorq Torx Plus-IPR, 5-point tamper proof security bit, #15.
On my speaker this dose not use a T15 torx security screw. It uses a P7 security bit of some sort. I bought a Ifixit Manta bit set which has a Pentalobe bits but not the right size or the security version and this is supposed to be there most complete bit set… very disappointed. I ended up using a 2.5 flat head to accomplish removing the screws.
It's definitely TPS15.
I found a set on amazon that worked (KAIFNT K001 Torx Plus 5-Point Tamper-Proof Security Bit Set, 7-Piece): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TC79LVH
I had a box of glue sticks for a hot glue gun. Heated the end of one until soft with a flame and placed over the plug and let cool. If you can keep the glue to the plug and not onto the body it works better. Was able to pull the plugs out with no damage. A couple of them took a a few tries but got them all. There was a little glue residue on the plug but the rubbed off easily.

Remove the inner assembly.
Your question is not very clear as to what damage is there on the cable. A new cable may not be easily available but you could reuse the old one as described below.
If the cable is frayed - disconnect both ends of the cable and remove the small supporting plastic (Mine is blue color) from the damaged end and keep aside carefully for use later. Cut with scissors smallest portion of the damaged cable till all damage is removed. Now fix back the plastic (Blue) - super glue works well - just half a drop spread nicely. After the glue dries, take a sharp blade and carefully scratch out the cable to view the copper flat wires. Insert back the cable.
Tip: If you use a blade - break it into half. Hold the two ends of the half blade between your thumb and middle finger so that the two ends of the half blade meet. Now apply slight pressure from your forefinger and scratch out CAREFULLY the flat cable plastic to expose the copper wires. Time consuming but effective.
Hope this helps!
What called the button cable ? Same problem. My button cable is already damage , i need bew cable, but ididnt know what the type of cable. I decide order on shoppee. Please answer me. Thank you very much.

Thanks for this tear down. Never thought that it looks like this on the inside. My battery is kind off aging, bought the unit 7 months ago. Local Bose dealer said battery cost half of this speaker. I hope there is a cheaper alternative.
You can unsolder the battery and replace with a standard unprotected 18650 cell it literally costs 7$ for a high quality sony or panasonic or samsung cell. The protection and charging circuit is included in the speaker motherboard just make sure you resolder with the proper polarity.

Speaker looks like a 18650 lithium ion- from the pictures here.
Does anybody know where one could order a spare speaker for this device?
Gracias, good information. Not sure I can accomplish but it’s nice to see people helping out others with their questions.
buttons power on buttons
New power on buttons
I have tried to change battery on my soundlink I from a working one but the battery doesn’t work nether the soundlink , then return it to the working soundlink and both are not working now.
Both soundlink where working but one of the battery’s didn’t last , but both battery’s and soundlink are not working now .
Both batteries have no output voltage
i have BOSE soundlink so the problem is NO POWER in the power button but he is charging the light on when i put charger... what wrong or what happend??? please
hi i just finished prying apart those round buttons. it is very important to know if you dont want to mangle the button trying to pry it loose. if your looking down at the four buttons the inside part of all the four round circles is where you put a thin small tool, that is where the opening is to eventually pull up the whole thing without having to mangle the circle. so if your looking at the four circles the opening will be in the part of circle where all rounds face each other inward i hope this helps

Note that the torx plus is a 5 star tool, and was the size 15 for me. Make sure you don't purchase the common 6 sided star tool.

Knowing you have to replace battery, why are the %#*@ things glued on? Just sayin’

I found it not possible to remove the screw caps cleanly, without messing up the case around the caps. Here’s a new method. This method damages the screw caps, but it keeps the case from getting mangled.
1. Use a spring-loaded center punch to emboss a small dimple in the center of each screw cap.
2. Drill a hole (using a 1/8th-inch bit) in each cap, using the aforementioned dimple to center the bit.
3. Use a small screwdriver shaft to pry out each screw cap, working each cap gently up and out, in a circular motion.
NOTE: The prying action (not to mention the hole you just drilled) will damage the screw caps enough that you probably will end up just tossing them. They serve no functional purpose other than to make replacing the battery more challenging. (Thanks Bose!)
If you do elect to re-install the screw caps, note that they’re keyed uniquely (in pairs). They are not interchangeable.
I tossed mine.

I used a similar method, however, I found a small screw to fit the hole, screwed it in place, I could then grab the upper part of the screw around the head area with a pair of pliers and pull the plugs out with no problem. Take note of the 5 sided torx bit. Not the standard 6 sided ones.

I also just filled a small hole in them and used a scre to yank them out. Tossed caps in garbage. I’ve now purchased multiple torx tools and still don’t have the right one. Trying again….

There is no such animal as a 1.8 cm Torx plus bit. A great site made poor with misleading information. Boo hoo
phpeh - Yanıt
I’m also struggling to get the right tool, but now see it’s a 5 sided Torx size 15. Not the standard 6 sided Torx that I now have a few of.
Craig Stout -
It says: “1.8 cm LONG …” That’s actually not talking about the torx head size but rather the screw shaft. Just saying…

These are indeed 5-sided Torx Security, size 15; however the shaft of my multibit seems too fat to fit in the plastic canal.
Which multibit (precision?) screwdriver are you guys using? The canal seems to be just 8mm wide.

Yep, removal of the plugs is messy. Obviously, BOSE intended these speakers to be a throwaway! There is a “sweet spot” on the plugs where I carefully hammered a very thin screwdriver blade along the edge of the plug until the screwdriver plunged further down along the side of the plug. At that point, I could pry the plug out. There was a little damage to the case at the edge of the plug hole, and the plugs were damaged enough that I would throw them away. I might consider putting some silicone gel in the holes where the plugs used to be. Next time, pulling out the silicone has got to be easier than pulling these !@#$%^&* plugs!

! WICHTIG! Deutscher Kommentar unten.
So Yeah the plugs are a nightmare, I dont know if the warning is the same but in german it says: Use a plastic tool if possible. Dont. Simply because its not possible, its a tight fit of a plug, glued at the bottom.
Same as some others here i used a screwdriver that is as thin as possible and as thick as needed for it not to bend or break.
Obviously this will leave marks on the chassis. But i dont think i they designed it as a throw away product. It is waterproof afterall and i had mine repaired when there was still guarantee. I suppose they have some industrial vacuum tool and use new plugs everytime.
DIE BESCHREIBUNG IST AUF MEIN GERÄT NICHT ZUTREFFEND!
Ich weiß nicht ob es Unterschiede in den Geräten gibt, aber bei diesem kann ich sagen: aufgrund des Klebers kann man Plastikwerkzeuge vergessen und es wird Schäden geben. Da mein Gerät nicht lädt und lange keine Garantie mehr hat kann mir das persönlich egal sein. Nur finde ich die Beschreibung irreführend.

To get these caps out I had to drill through them, and than pull them out.
Before that I trird to pull these caps with little flat screw drivers but I ended broking 2 screw drivers
Tamir Chartarifsky - Yanıt
I couldn't get these out delicately, so I ended up tapping a 2mm flathead with a hammer around the edges until the cover started to pop up. I'm not sure if the caps contribute to the water resistance, but I'm not putting them back on.
