My bose wave radio has no sound at all
all the displays work but no sound
We had an 3.5 mm audio cable plugged into the back. Pulling that did the trick for us.
Thank you, that did the work for me too.

Most probably Audio amplifier IC but there are many version of Bose Wave radio.
Unfortunately Bose will not release their schematics or parts lists, effectively giving them a monopoly on repairs. According to their web site, www.bose.com, they will repair most Wave radios for $100 or give you $200 credit towards the purchase of a new set. Check your options before you spend the big bucks though. A new HD radio, with better sound and a MUCH lower price, might be a better choice than repair of a problem prone Bose.

Bose does not release their parts lists or schematics, effectively
creating a monopoly for parts and repairs. In fact, their web site
says that the Bose factory is the only option for service or repair.
They used to list a flat rate repair charge on the web site, but
removed it - probably because it scared too many people. Their
troubleshooting guide (below) might help, but it's very simplistic.
Before you invest in expensive factory repair on one of these trouble
prone sets, you might want to investigate the new HD radios -- better
sound at a MUCH lower price.

To resolve this issue, try one or all of the following:
Make sure your Wave® music system is powered up.
Check the volume level. It may be too low to hear. Try turning it up to at least 30
Verify that nothing’s plugged into the headphone jack on the back
of the system. Connecting a device to the headphone jack mutes the
system’s speakers. The headphone jack is the same size as the FM
antenna jack and the AUX IN jack. Be sure not to confuse these jacks
when making connections Reset the Wave® music system by disconnecting the power cord from the wall for one minute, then plug the system back in

SOURCE: Non-working CD in Bose wave radio
Try replacing the battery on the bottom of the system - alot of people miss it because you have it constantly plugged into the mains, but replacing this (somehow) re-sets the system, and 9 times out of 10 solves the issue.
SOURCE: no power up
Considering that power is present, popping sound is caused by a faulty Q401, 5V supply for display.
Good Luck.

SOURCE: My 10 year old Bose wave radio quit working.
There's a line fuse inside the radio, mounted on a PC board. CAUTION:
disconnect the set from power before opening the case or poking around
inside. The fuse could be bad, but these sets are notorious for losing
the power transformer. If the fuse is ok then you are looking at a
$100 repair fee from Bose. You might want to check out the new HD radios -- better sound, MUCH lower price.

What is the reason you made this post ? Do you want to know how to clean the wine or the radio no longer works ? Which model of the Wave radio is it ?

I have the same problem with mine and I am searching for a solution now.
I have a Bose Wave Music system, basically, the same as the Wave Radio but with the CD slot in the front panel. It was working fine until I unplugged it, let it sit for a couple of days, and plugged it back in. Now, the display shows the time, but when I try to play anything (Station, CD or Aux), I get a "Please Wait" message briefly and nothing follows. I've tried the plug and unplug reset, reset the settings to factory default, and the problem remains. 1) any ideas? 2) What would be a competitive replacement to recommend, if it can't be fixed? (Preferable to me rather than send it to Bose, because I believe this is a software glitch, tho I could be wrong.)
My Bose Wave Radio with a front load single CD just stopped working. The lights are on but no sound. Can anyone help me?
Thank you.
