Introduction

This guide will walk you through replacing the charging port on the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus. The charging port allows the speaker to recharge the battery. If your device won't charge or only charges when the cable is positioned a certain way, it could be a faulty issue with the charging port.

Power off the device and use the suggested tools to prevent any damage to the device.
