Hi Ryan,
Regarding 'Step 8', do you know where I can get a replacement charging board? I'm in the UK.
My specific problem seems to be a short circuit - I lose all sound in the right earcup when the charging cable is attached and it moves. Sometimes moving it again or tapping the earcup brings the sound back but this is not ideal.
My hands shake from neurological problems so it would be very challenging to find and fix that loose / shorted connection, whereas a replacement board seems to be an ideal repair option.
Hope you can help,
Regards, Craig
Hi Craig, I had exacly the same issue. I thought that the reason is the unsoldered charging port. Today I opened right speaker and it turned out that the charging port is properly soldered but some of the solders were corroded/contaminated. I cleaned up the solder points using isopropyl alcohol. Then I bent a little bit the pins which connects the board (27-01837-F) with the speaker. After that the right speaker works fine even if the charging cable moves.

Hi sir, I think your guide is incomplete. Do you have the opportunity to bring a sequel?

The battery is under the left earcup.
NOT the earcup into which you plug the USB cable.
Not sure why the demo asks you to disassemble the right earcup...

These instructions could use some work! There is no need to disassemble both sides as the battery is under the left ear cup only.

I have just disassembled mine, Jabra Elite 85h, model OTE100. The cushions (as described in this step) can not be removed. If that's the case, The foam in the center has to be removed to access the speaker screws. Undoing the screws will split the headphone in half, releasing the pad together with the speaker. This will uncover the rest of the components
Besides, I agree with the rest of the comments - If you're after the battery there is no need to disassemble the right headphone as the battery resides in the left
