The soft rubber part of the pairing button tore apart when it was pressed too hard with a sharp instrument, and now it seems that the button mechanism on the inside is broken since I am not able to press the button anymore at all. There is an empty space where the button used to be. I have not attempted any repair or taken anything apart yet. I was hoping that this could be fixed. Thank you very much for any help you can give me. R
Hi, Here is the Ifixit link which shows how to replace the charge port on a Jam Box. It is on the charge port board you will find the pairing switch (SW2) Jawbone Big Jambox Charge Port Replacement This link taken from the above link shows the pairing switch (marked SW2,- to the right of the slot cut in the bottom of the board as viewed in the picture), on the board. From your description it seems as though the actuating lever for the switch has been pushed out of the way, as in the picture it seems as though it is a normal push button type switch. You may have to figure out (if the switch is still connected to the board), whether you are either going to replace it with a switch with a longer actuating lever to reach the outside of the case or to either fix or replace the extending switch operating mechanism that is there now. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/ig… hopefully this is of some help.
Hi @marcman, Don’t know about an exact replacement but you might be able to find a suitable compatible replacement switch here (or Digikey in your location). I’m assuming that an ordinary momentary single make switch is all that is required as long as you find one that fits etc.
I had the same problem. My Big Jambox buttons came off & rubbers went sticky. I removed the stickiness by rubbing Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol with a microfiber cloth. Now the surface is smooth. Regarding the bluetooth connection, press the J button (1st one on the left) 7-10 times rapidly. On the last press, its very important to hold it down until the power button starts blinking red and orange! In the pairing mode, you should be able to connect to your Speaker. This worked for me ! Hope it helps!
Hello! I just fixed my Pairing button by simply taking off the cap where the Pairing button is, and un-jamming the hard piece of plastic on the underside of the Pairing button. I tested the tiny Pairing switch/button and saw that it was working, but the little plastic tab on the underside of the Pairing button on the cap was totally out of line. No need to take the other cap off or any other steps. Hope this helps! Cheers!
