Step 8 picture shows a small green pcb component, in my black model i nearly damaged this when sliding the white frame/main pcb out from the hard shell. The small component above is attached to the main board and to prevent damage i would suggest prising up/ apart the shell a few mm to get the pins out from the connector between them. Or risk bending the pins like i did or risk breaking the component. Great care needed to return these parts to their normal position when reassembling the unit. However the poc here shows there may have been a prior attemt to take it apart as i can see the green component has already been removed
Edit, its actually easier to remove the component first (prise it up from its adhesive backing very careful not to snap it as its a very thin peice of pcb here) before sliding out the white frame/main board, and it is far easier to ad last on the rebuild than trying to slide the main frame back in as lining up the pins is very difficult.

To remove the battery, peel away the tape that holds the battery in place.
I cant seem to find a replacement anywhere, and the details are specific enough to see but i dont know how to get a replacement battery. Mine is at fault and wont seem to recharge to enough power to run. Shortly after initial start up and BT light flashes white then all lights go orange/charge mode then shuts off
Seems to be a thing for this speaker. It's why they hurried up and came out with newer versions of it. Sad really.
I’ve been following these steps to replace the battery in my Sony SRS-XB40. I’ve used the speaker for 4 years and now the battery doesn’t charge - the speaker turns on momentarily when connected to a power source but turns off after a few seconds. Speaker does not turn on at all when powered by the battery.
I have found two versions of the replacement battery, both are identical and are designed for use in the Sony SRS-XB40 but one has a larger capacity (for around £8 more than the standard battery).

I have a very similar problem with mine. Did changing the battery fix it for you?

Where can i find the battery
This is full of $@$*. You dont even tell or show where to get the battery for this device also I fix it is also full of $@$* when it comes to telling the public where to also find the battery. Like it's this top secret place to find the exact battery. Bottom line fullnofnshit
They will not answer. They know better and know I am correct about them not answering to the public demands. Very dumb if you ask me. I'm sitting here trying to find this %#*@ thing to no success. Sony is dumb as well for selling such an expensive speaker for it to mess up after a year I owned it. Pathetic
Hey there! iFixit is a community-based platform for people to share information. Unfortunately, we at iFixit don't have all the answers, but anyone that knows how to fix things or where to source parts is welcome to share that knowledge. In this specific instance, it looks like replacement batteries aren't available for this device. However, if this information changes, anyone is welcome to update the guide with a link to the part. I hope this helps!
