These radios suffer from several problems. One is the caps need replacement, which causes all kind s of problems, another is the power supply which seems to be easily broken upon voltage spikes. It goes on. Very expensive radio but to many problems. Can be repaired. Let me know if you want to sell it.

You will have to take the unit apart, and you likely have a bad sensor or laser

I am not sure how to fix your radio; but my wave radio wasn't working and I took it into a Bose store and got an excellent trade in for a new one. I traded a wave radio without a CD player for a new Wave radio with a CD player. I would take your radio into the nearest Bose store.

My radio stopped working. I was able to take it into a Bose store and trade it in on a new radio. My old one was about ten years old and it did not have a CD player. I was able to trade it in on a new one with a CD player.

It's worth fixing. Sounds like an output transistor has gone bad.

Hi,Well, the lens light needs re-trimming, that's why it's having a hard time reading that audio CD.The adjustment is in the LENS assembly, there is a trimmer nut under that you will have to adjust and clean. It always works on CD AUDiO player ( not on DVD ).You could send it to Bose and have it tuned and service clean the whole unit, it is not that expensive or bring it to any electronic tech and he knows what to do.Hope that helps!

Unfortunately, the push buttons can become oxidized on their contact surfaces, making them intermittant at best, to useless. Can you operate these functions with the remote control?

If you want to make the display brighter (remember, it auto dims in low light): 1. Hold down the "clock set" button while pressing the "volume" button up or down (up for brighter, down for dimmer).

Most clocks that have Military time on them will change to regular after going thru the Military mode.
