JoesGE.com is a pretty cool place (depending who you talk to it might be more than pretty cool. But hey, I'm just writing this down so that it says something down here, because that's more professional right?) and if you're still reading along at this point you might as well sit down and grab some popcorn because this is about to trail on about how we are this premiere repair service located in Washington State North of Seattle in basically the "Armpit of the US" near Mt baker (Mt Baker has the world record for most snowfall at 1,140 inches in a season). Even though it can smell bad around here we love the fresh air and being near the post office and in a quiet sleepy mountain town certainly gives us much closer access to Team Turtle and Team Beaver (Watch our "Who, what, when and where is JoesGE?" video if you don't get the reference).
All this to basically say that we are all addicted to coffee and stay in the warehouse for ridiculously long hours in order to keep up with the demands of the youth for these two sided head audio devices and speakers that float when you throw them in the ocean or in your bathtub to test if they actually float. On top of that we do like it when less stuff ends up in landfills so we hoard everything on shelves with wheels so that we pollute less, it just sits in our warehouse loosing molecules slowly over time degrading to become smaller and smaller.
If you are still reading at this point you deserve an award, or a high five, or something because you must either be the most patient person on the planet, or you read blogs frequently. And if the latter is the case, then this whole thing must seem pretty short so lets keep going.
We do some really interesting things here at JoesGE which are frequently documented in our sometimes weekly sometimes never vlogs.
Also, if you are wondering how we keep up with the demands of the people so well, its because 90% of the people that work here are all Russian around getting things done most of the time. Yes, that was a pun, you are welcome. We hope you have a pun filled day, because who couldn't use a few laughs?
I used this and it actually worked! Initially after reassembly with a new driver there still seemed to be distortion with bass, but it was actually rattling. Pulling it back apart and making sure everything was seated well (i.e. pushing bits here and there until the rattle noise stopped) worked and now I have a working speaker. Thanks.
No problem. Thanks for watching
@@Joesge hello I m Kamran frm pakistan I used this it actually I don't no what happened with speaker Is not throwing bass I wants to repair my Mega boom.
Thank you for this video. Anyone attempting this, take your time and don't jump ahead of his instructions unless you don't mind breaking small plastic clips or adding some wear to the fabric wrap. There is adhesive underneath the control panel spine area and it does take a bit of prying to get the adhesive to release. I bought my replacement speaker and passive radiator from the creator of this video and his shared link. The parts are perfect, and the repair was a success overall. The Megaboom is still a great speaker with it's current firmware update (which can be done via the app super easily now). So now back to blasting some Rich Brian and Joji. Thanks Joe's GE for the fast shipping and instructional video. I was very close to tossing this thing and buying a new one, but you guys saved me some good money. Lastly, this is indeed a bit technical for non-technical people to perform. So be patient and follow the video closely, or of you're nervous just send your speaker in to Joe's for service. I have pro tools from iFix it, and am a long time technician and engineer, and I still marked up my fabric a bit while prying the first end open. So just be aware that you may cosmetically mark the unit up a bit, but this fix is perfect. đ

Hey cool video I did it and it fixed mines but thereâs things you can do to make it easier after you pry open the charger part just peel the mesh but not all the way let it on the button side and just pull off the button side from the inside like you showed in 2:18 while the mesh and the back rubber thing is still attached to it it saved me around 10 minutes of unneeded prying. đ

I actually replaced the speakers with my own 6â speakers. Sure itâs not as portable and no longer water proof but it is louder and can be placed anywhere. I can still hook it up to my hyperboom and use it as a surround sound. Itâs clearer than ever. Mind you my speaker is about 8 to 10 years old so I would not be losing much if I were to break it in the process not to mention I have many of these speakers as they are the best portable speakers ever made at a reasonable price.
Where can I buy the T handle tool? Can't find one anywhere with a flathead / pry, they are always hex
So I used this video to disassemble my speaker. Found that the passive radiators are good no tears or broken pieces. The speaker drivers had a cracked casing/basket. I superglued everything the best I could just to try it. Everything seems intact now and seated correctly. Speakers work and are loud on both sides but the bass just isn't there. Bass seems to work intermittently but more not than working. Not sure what else could be wrong?
This videos steps are way more useful. Most just say "pry off the rubber before the fabric" , but doing the fabric first would have saved me from a lot of unnecessary damage to my boy.

This is the most helpful video ever holy shit thank you
hellow, nice videos đ do you thing I have to do the same thing on my boom because my boom makes a wird noise when the music has more bass, so when it's a normal music it's OK but with bass it like scratch noise,? thank you very much
You may have a blown passive radiator
Hi, thanks for thé vidéo . I juste change one of thé small speakee. But right now thé two Big one doesn't work anymore. I didn't disconnect anything. I also Can sée that thé have no direct connections to thé motherboard ( thé two small one have ) so i don't understand how they work. IS their something that i forget to do? Or a software reset? Thanks by avance.
Where can I find someone to repair my speaker that won't turn on?
Hello JoeÂŽs your guide was real helpful to open my UE, and I was going to buy the speaker from your website. But it said that the part UE Ultimate Ears Logitech Megaboom S-00147 - Parts is no longer available, I wonder if you are going tow habit restock or try my look one bay
We will be adding more today!
Hello friend! I want to buy this part for my speaker but i live in chile. do you ship internationally?
Also be careful when putting the rods back as you can easily stab yourself in the finger like I did. Use a hard flat surface if needed to push the rods in . Just a suggestion as Iâm clumsy and prone to getting hurt doing the smallest of things. đ
Hi, I have a big problem with my UE megaboom speaker, the bass has a crackling noise on high volume. Is there any way to fix it? Can you ship the replacement parts here in the Philippines? Thank you!

Unfortunately we do not have those. Wish we could help more.
At worst you can add your own speakers.

We are unsure when these will be in stock
Hi i have the megaboom in red same one in this video and it wont charge or turn on but when i press the power button or like volume up and down at the same time it makes a quick short static noise and thts it but it wont charge or do nothing else! What can it be? By the way i have left it charge for a whole day and still nothing! It got a lil wet tho and thats when ot all started.
have you tried to reset it? If so, you may have a corroded board.
I broke the plastic where the clips are to get the power and bluetooth button off do you guys sell that piece?
Wonât charge hold a charge so I should change the battery right??
Mine just dont make any sound at all and i dont know why ik there not blown because they worked before but i just finely got it to charge
Have you tried a reset?
@@Joesge tbh i have tried everything it resets but when it does i wont even make a beep or when i turn it on it wont make a sound
Same
@@Joesge still canât figure this damn thing out
Necesito un par de esas bocinas
IS IT STILL WATERPROOF IF ONE DOES THIS? I MEAN LIKE GETTING CAUGHT IN THE RAIN ?
I LOVE PLAYING MINE ON LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZY DAYS AND NOT BEING PHASED
Depending on how well you reseal the unit, it may still be fairly water resistant. Just be aware if this when putting it back together. If your not too confident that it will hold out water, try to keep it as dry as possible.
Overall it is cheaper to just buy a new one if your warranty is over and your other choice is buying replacement parts. Motherboard cost 2/3 of why my speaker cost me. Not worth the new replacement parts. Maybe if ue megaboom was no longer being manufactured
my UE boom connects with my devices and the light on the on/off button works as well, but it doesn't make any sounds. What part is broken?
I had the same problem. Connect it to a USB cable and turn it on, sound will magically be back ;)
@@TheEspaYT thanks for the advice, but i tried this already and it didn't work :((
Have the same issue with mine. You ever find a fix?
I canât get the top to come off the little white things wonât clip up they make a sound but I canât take the fabric off or the top
Have you tried unclipping from all sides? is there a hangup somewhere?
Joe's Gaming & Electronics I got it to open but I broke the button thing (charcoal) is what itâs called I was ripping it off but then I realized there was a plastic that can with it but I glued it back. I tried to buy a new button charcoal I think thatâs the name but you guys are sold out
what type of flathead is this? I can't find it with the handle. What is it called?
This is more detailed tear down! Thanks
Glad we can help:) Please like, subscribe and share the video.
There no sound on mine at all. connects to Bluetooth charges. took it apart but can not see anything wrong with it, anybody knows help.i after a few days of trying to fix it I did by going throw the ic chips with a Multitester if can go trow the ones near the capacitor when you get it working don't turn off, you have to go throw the proses again.
Thanks for the comment. Try to perform a reset by holding the power button and volume down button until the unit powers off. After 30 seconds, power the unit back on.

Will this process affect the water-resistancy?
Thanks for the comment. UE megaboom speakers have IPX7 rating. If put together correctly, there will be little differences as the seals are water tight. However, once disassembled the seals may not be factory spec. That said, we don't recommend exposing it to water too long anyway.

Once you got that. Once you got that. Once you got that

@@Joesge great video. How much does it cost to repair ueboom 2? Battery dies quickly and sounds like a blown speaker. Thanks
Itâs not difficult at all if you take your time and look exactly where to push and pry before you push and pry open anything. Watch the tutorial several times before and pay close attention where the clips are.
Where can I buy speaker to replace in megaboom 3?
We are currently out of stock, I would check Ebay
Iâm looking for parts for a ue boom 3 but canât seem to find any or even on your website Iâm looking for the speaker for a ue boom 3 bcuz one of mines doesnât work properly and I wanna repair it? Any advice where I can find any
Thanks for the comment. We do not have this part in stock at the moment.
-David P
I am having an extremely difficult time prying the top open. Does anyone else have this problem?
What kind of pry tool are you using?
How do you replace a passive radiator
Yes we do:)
Will it still retain ipx7 rating if the spine and caps are pulled off??
Thanks for watching! If put together correctly, there will be little differences as the seals are water tight. That said, we don't recommend exposing it to water too long anyway.
Okay thank youâŒïžâŒïž

Gracias por ayudarme, me interesa adquirir el repuesto, solo voy a revisar el modelo para no equivocarme
Will it still be waterproof after you've taken it apart?
Thanks for watching! As long as it is put back together properly, it should maintain its water resistance.
I doubt it'll still be WaterPROOF since in the process, you're pulling apart the Adhesive. It'll probably be WaterRESISTANT.
This is awesome! Thank you. đ
you're welcome
U the man
What is the problem of my mine? when I put to higher volume the sound is stopping

the batery
Might be a stupid question; but how do I know whether the speaker is broken? My megaboom started to sound weird so I thought it was the speaker. But after dissembling the speaker I'm not sure what to look for and if this actually is the problem..
Would love to hear from you
Thanks for watching! If it is the speaker, it usually will make a static or rattling noise. If you would like, message us the details of your issue to 1-360-362-1722.
@@Joesge thanks for the reply. After dissembling the speaker and not knowing what to discover I put it back together. And no idea how, but it works again.
So thanks for the video!
Well either way, we are glad they are working for you again!
Same here. Mine was crackling sounded like something was loose. Ripped it apart and put it back together and whatever it was is gone. Happy days.
Thanks for your video!
what is the charges for this service here
Thanks for watching! To have the speaker replaced will cost about $80, this includes shipping, parts and labor. Plus a 100 day warranty included. If you would like this option, our repair form is located here: JoesGE.com/pages/repair-services . CH
@@Joesge hi there guys. I am based in New Zealand. Do you have a repair agent here or do I need to ship my speaker to you?

It is not low battery that's what I found out so far
If it is not a low battery then it may be a blown speaker.
