Windows 10: Repacing battery in Bose Mini II speaker

Hi there

I like using the Bose Mini II speaker -- after 5 years the battery has finally died -- I can get a replacement (34 EUR Amazon) but I see the battery is soldered on to a small circuit board.

I've disassembled the speaker system and am not a stranger to using a Soldering Iron -- just want to know if anybody here on the Forum has attempted successfully to do this.

(A replacement speaker system would cost around 200 EUR so IMO it's worth "having a go with the replacement" ).

The speaker system sounds excellent is very portable and has good Blue tooth as well and it works with Windows just OK - the replacement battery is bigger so a full charge will give continuous use of around 18 - 24 hours - If I don't break the old one.

Sometimes it's worth trying this stuff out if the hardware is "repairable" -- although why manufacturers have to solder bayyeries in when just a little connector would make changing batteries easy -- suppose they want to make money by people sending device off for bayyery replacement or getting them to buy a new device !!!!

Cheers

Bluetooth Speaker(Bose Soundlink Mini II) not connecting with Win 10

Hi everyone i have Alienware 14 R2 with Windows 10 build 10586 which was upgraded from build 10240 through a clean install. After installing the latest build m not able to connect my bluetooth speaker (Bose Sound Link Mini II) with the laptop. Though m able
to connect other bluetooth devices to the computer and same speaker connect fine with another Dell laptop with the same build. The same speaker was also working fine without any issue with the Windows 10 Build 10240. I have tried following troubleshooting
but the issue not yet resolved.

• uninstalled the driver from device manager and reinstalled.
• downloaded the latest driver from Intel site but issue remains.
• tried the older drivers available on Dell Support site with compatibility option while installing.
• also enabled all the bluetooth services from services.msc
• reinstalled the Windows after formatting.

Even after trying the above steps and all the steps mentioned in various discussions on this site, the issue remains unresolved. M attaching a screenshot of the error while trying pair the speaker. Any suggestions in this regard will be very thankful.

Bose speakers

They are inputs. It's a 2.0 speaker system. Nothing more. They do sound great though.

Honestly, give me a reason to think this post isn't just garbage. Biased with no facts. Those M-Audio Studiophiles are nice, but truth be told the Bose sound better. I have both sets of speakers.. well the older model of the M-Audio's but nothing much has changed. You should really give actual reasons before making empty posts.
