    • Find something to cover up the hole. This prevents the glue from sticking to internal parts. I used the cover of a plastic ice box.

    • Replace the screws. (Or store them somewhere safe.)

    • Use tape to close the hole that was once covered by the dock arm. This prevents dust from getting into your Zeppelin. (Black tape might work better, although you almost won't see the tape at all.)

    • Attach the rubber bottom again. Use the screw holes (for the wall mount) for perfect alignment.

    • Make sure the glue attaches to the tape. Otherwise dust might get through the gap.

Caution Loud volume is distorted. I tried this with hard plastic and when bass notes were at 1/2 or louder volume there was a loud rattling sound. Tried again with a cut up black sock taped and cut in place, still distorted but barely at normal volumes. Good thing nothing is permanent as going back it sounds fine. Test a song with punchy bass loud before and after, I used Too Late by Ariane Moffatt and Counting by Autre Ne Veut. I wouldn't have noticed with the black fabric if I wouldn't have been listening for it. Probably not meant to be a semi-open speaker. B&W could have saved me some time and stated the reason why, not just the 'void warranty' I read everywhere that has ended anyway.

Any one have a docking arm assem. they want to sell. I'll pay good money for a working one. Mine got damaged. i12gocruzin2@yahoo.com Tim

As an appendix to this, you can also pull the dock arm apart, remove the wires, remove the dock connector and retain the led wire, put the LED wire inside the base, cut the dock arm at the base and then screw it back together. Fill in the cable holes with hot glue, and then reattach the base and you get a dock-less zeppelin with a glowing hole in the base with the ability to blast it at full volume with no distortion!

15 mins with a screwdriver and a hot glue gun and a hobby saw.

Jarrah Nelson, Can you send me pic of the result? or possibly of the process? I just saw Zeppelin Wireless and love it w/o Docking arm which I don't use.

Any photos from under neath with that setup?

Someone has a non-functional Zeplin for $25 I may try to fix up.

Alex MacK -

could you please post pictures in some other angles or explain how you did this? please. it would be very f*cking helpful.

Gorchu Nagiev -

Hey man, i know its been about 3 years lol but can you walk me through this? once I have the arm off, then what? i just picked up a zeppelin air at the thrift shop and want to try this

bhmcgeehan -

Can someone post a picture of the power supply board from both sides. i am repairing one but one capacitor hot completelly burned away and does not show the values it was rated at.

Thanks

Dorian Alcantar - Ответить

And I'm struggling with even getting the grilles on my Zeppelin (the first generation ever released) out of the way to check the power supply. I guess it's just me, cause all the videos and pics just show people removing them casually.

Any suggestions anyone?

Joan of Arc - Ответить

My zeppelin power transfer is broken I want to replace it with a external adapter but I don't know the voltage anyone can help me with this information?

Elvin - Ответить

I have the same problem and am thinking of the same solution. Realy hope someone with a working one can measure the voltage after the transformator. It would be so helpfull. I dont want to guess either.

As stoicalken said, there was a lot of distortion from the bass air inside the cabinet. I taped clear tape tight over the whole and then added the rubber sole afterwards, and luckily it solved the problem!

I have managed to remove the dock arm, but access panel looks completely different from the photos posted here. And there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to remove it. My dock arm was retained by four Torx screws. But there are no other screws visible. Nor is there any visible means for releasing the plastic plate. At this point, I would very much welcome any suggestions you all could offer. I'm out of ideas that won't potentially damage the metal or the plastic!

Hi Guys!

Is any one have a docking arm assem they want to sell. Mine doesnt work and 3.5mm jack doesnt work to so it is difficult to listem music.

My mail: bast.piedfort@gmail.com

Thanks a lot

Bast Piedfort - Ответить

Hi, were you able to find a replacement dock arm? I am also looking for one.

Luigi Di Sessa -

@ Kim - you have the older model iPhone 4 connector. I also have this model, and it’s even easier than above and the sound cavity is closed so none of the other issues discussed here effect it. Remove the 4 x torx screws. Gently open the wire connector at the base by pushing forward the small tabs on the black plastic - the ribbon wire will slide straight out and then simply push the base back on. Only down side ribbon will not go back in to speakers.

Does this WORK for The not Air version.

The normal one?

I removed the dock arm and both connectors and closed everything again. But now the Zeppelin refuses to function with the aux input which I used before removing the dock…Any ideas how to resolve?

Marco Buijnsters - Ответить

Hello! Does anyone know if the infrared remote control continues working properly after the docking arm is removed?

Daniel Luiz Costa - Ответить

.After going through the removal process I found that the remote won’t work with the dock arm removed. I reinstalled it.

Gustavo Fabbroni - Ответить

For the people who want to be able to see the led and control the speaker with the remote (needed to switch inputs, also aux) you should reuse your arm.

1. I disassembled the dock by removing the screws behind the Ipod connector (there are eight).

2. Thereafter you unscrew a few more screws which hold the pcb's in place. You will only need to reuse the pcb with the led and has one connector (with the black cables).

3. To remove the chrome part: unscrew the two screws at the bottom plate. The rest is kept together with glue. Remove the part by lifting it up with a flat screwdriver, make sure not to touch the cables.

4. The cable tree with black wires splits up into two connectors. The small connector can be removed.

5. The cables for the Ipod dock can be removed. It will leave a small hole in the bottom plate which can be filled with hot glue. Then cut the arm en finish the dock.

Hi,

Just to let you know that removing the dock arm will enable the remote control...

I put the dock arm back... thanks for the tutorial anyway.
