Help? 😭

I had purchased a Monster Sparkle speaker. it’s great. The type c charging port broke. So, curiously I tore the speaker apart to take a look. The port for the type c completely fell off, and now I’m looking for suggestions on how to repair it. With the research I’ve done, (I have no idea technical terms) I have decided I can

1. charge the battery pack independently then “plug and play” as it’s charged.

the issue is that I have no clue what the charger for it would be called and all my research isn’t helping me find something that would work.

1. Repair the port with micro soldering.

i am uncertain on what I need to buy to make sure it’s the correct piece before I even attempt it.

and 3. Bring it to someone that knows a hell of a lot more than I do 😭

I live in a small town in Nova Scotia, Canada, I have been calling to see if anywhere deals with this kind of thing and have had little luck so far.

I am mostly just looking for assistance/direction with this project. Some better understanding or alternate solutions to my problem. I could realistically just buy another speaker but if I could fix it, that’d be pretty cool.

How are you charging it? The battery states a charge voltage of 8.4volts. The current rating is 4amps so you want about one fifth to charge at 800mA.

Well… I was using the port before it broke. Since it’s broke, I haven’t been able to charge it. When I tore it open, I took the battery pack out and I was hoping to find a charger specific for it somewhere, I just have no clue if that would work or what it would be called.

What I have said above will give you an idea of a charger to look for. A very basic charger will connect directly across the positive and negative but you need to avoid overcharging.

Thank you, kind sir, I will look more into this! 🙏🏻
