  "textContent": "When I connect the SBS50B Party Speaker speakers to USB, they won’t charge. I’ve tried different power adapters and cables, but the issue is the same. Previously, when I used these speakers, the power adapters would get extremely hot—almost burning hot. Now those same adapters stay cool, even though they are still working properly. After I noticed how hot they were getting while charging these speakers, I started charging the speakers via a computer’s USB port instead. Now, when I connect the speakers—whether to a power adapter or a computer—the LED on the speaker housing flashes for a split second and then turns off. If I unplug and reconnect the cable, the LED flashes again briefly and then goes off. All cables are working, and the USB port on the speaker appears to be in good condition. Is it possible to repair this speaker without replacing the main PCB (the green board) or the battery?",
