Yes you have a defective laser assembly. The 139 is a great price as buying the laser lens alone will cost you around 70 .Bose will also upgrade with any new software and will also provide you with a 1 yr warrenty.

Is the entire system shutting off (meaning no power to the unit) or is just the audio turning off? If the entire system is turning off, it is unlikely that the problem is related to the audio settings or connections on the cable box. Instead, check to make sure that the power cord is securely connected to the Acoustimass Module and if necessary, try a different power outlet.

Check that the Bose system power cord is fully seated in the electrical wall outlet and the Bose system.

Check your house's fuse box for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breakers if necessary.

Make sure that your batteries are working or that you are using the correct DC power cord when playing your Bose system on the go.

Check how many times your Bose system has played a CD in REPEAT DISC or REPEAT DISC RANDOM mode. The Bose system will only repeat a CD three times in these modes before automatically shutting off when using batteries. Check how many times a CD track has played in REPEAT TRACK mode. The Bose system will repeat a CD track eight times when using battery power before automatically shutting off to save power.

Check that you have inserted external sound components correctly into the AUX inputs. Red jack inserts on the sound components go into the red AUX inputs; yellow jack inserts go into the yellow AUX inputs.

there are lens cleaner cds with liquid cleaner. get that kit & run this cd with cleaner on its brushes. if still not working unplug the system & open the cover & see there is lens on cd drive unit. clean upper surface gently with soft cloth. if not working then replace the cd drive mechanism.

The answer depends upon the age and precise version of your Bose system. Not all CD players can reliably read CD-R and CD-RW discs, and even those which do are sometimes picky about the brand of recordable disc in use.

In my experience, all of the Bose Wave systems I've worked on have contained surprisingly cheap/average parts inside considering the luxury price-tag. Either stick to using other cheaper (and often far better) CD players for CDs you've burned yourself, or look into getting the CD laser pick up inside your Bose replaced with one which is known to have no issues with CDs of different reflectivity to standard pre-recorded CDs.

This is a common problem with the Wave radios. The CD mech is worn out. You will have to take it to a Bose authorized service center, because they no longer sell parts to the public or independent service centers.

you will need to remove the cover and manually turn the gear that opens the door...this problem sounds like the belt for the door opening gears has broke and will need to be replaced...you can obtain a belt from mcmelectronics.com

The Wave/PC system comes with a remote and connects to your computer through the serial port. The Wave/PC doesn't download MP3 files internally, it only needs to draw an audio feed letting your computer handle the storage and Net access requirements. Minimum requirements for the unit is a Windows 98 machine with a 200 MHz processor, 32 MB of RAM and 200 MB of available hard drive space. The unit does not support Windows 95 or NT.

hi,
just purchase a lance cleaning cd. It will be available in cd shops. insert it in the player. it will clean the lance. after cleaning insert the CD and watch is it reading. If not then the laser pickup unit of you player have some problem. You have to replace the same.
ok

try 2 use a cd cleaner

make sure there is nothing blocking the signal to your unit.tv remote dvd other cd players etc..or u mite have 2 get a cd cleaner an get it done.

First point is to check is the cd spinning. if it does making a clicking noise THe clicking you are hearing is the optics attempting to focus on the disc. In this case it is likely that either the lens itself is clouded/dirty or the optics have failed. If you can gain access to the assembly, try cleaning the lens using a cotton swab and alcohol. If that fails to resolve the problem, the optics will need to be replaced.
if it says not readable,
Try cleaning the lens with a suitable cd lens cleaning product.
Otherwise there is a hardware failure in the motor

Hi, you have a problem with the open primary winding in the large transformer inside the unit. The transformer has a thermo fuse built in. It located right under paper wrapping

The problem is in the laser pickup assembly, over a period of time the laser pickup becomes weaker until it can no longer track the cd properly causing skipping, and plays off and on. One possible solution "if the laser lens is accessible", you can try cleaning it with a Q-Tip and rubbing alcohol very carefully allowing several minutes to dry. If this fails, Bose will need to be contacted since they do the authorized repairs on their products.

set the clock

yes

output transistors or output IC (integrated circuit) needs to be repaired by dealer or electronic repair shop.hope this helps.
