just wanted to share this accomplishment of mine (literally a beginner)

I dropped my JBL Clip 4 biking to work and it broke. The + stopped working so I decided to open it up and found a broken control board with the + button actually completely removed. It was just floating around inside.

I first tried to sand some leads for the solder to latch on the board and solder the board back into once piece but the leads were too small to adhere any solder on to make the board complete, so I decided to figure which of the leads on the connector made the + button activate and found some wire that I had and put some jank together for the button to activate.

I then put some hot glue behind where the + button sat to have some leverage as the switch has to be pressed with a post sticking through the speaker.

Huzzah my speaker works fine now and the Volume+ now works and everything is A-OK 😊

thank y’all for your time
