Hi, I just opened my e-mail and this half information Ifixit was there. Wow, I spent weeks researching to find a motherboard. I called Fugoo and they assisted me with the major difficult project. ITs so simple to disassemble. You unscrew it and open it up. Very well built and engineered Bluetooth Speaker. MORE INFO NEXT COMMENT

change the battery just buy a similar battery and swap out the plugs. Very simple too. All I wanted was original though. The Fugoo speaker is awesome and the best. There customer support is perfect. Although, my only problem was with half information given and the details left out. For example, HOW TO REPLACE BATTERY.. The %#*@ instructions are the same as yours. Its how to take it apart. SO SIMPLE. Did you forget to tell everyone how to get the battery or how to modify one, because you can only get them in china and good luck its impossible. MORE INFO NEXT COMMENT
