My boston microsystem cd has stopped working. There's power, but nothing else. No clock, no sound nothing. Any troubleshooting suggestions?

I contacted Boston acoustics. I was told this is an intermittent problem with some units (mine is date april 2007). They say the radio will recover if kept unplug for 5 days. This is the time it takes for a huge capacitor on the main PC to discharge completely. They say a firmware upgrade can solve the problem.

So the idea is to leave it unplu for 5 days, plug it back and it should turn on again. I'm at day 3 and hpoing for the best.

I got the same problem. The radio worked perfectly before I unpuged it. When I tried to plug it back, nothing happens exept a dim blue light on the display and the power button.

I opened the radio, Voltage looks ok. My guess is the mainboard needs to be replaced. I wrote to Boston Acoustic to find out if it's available or not and how much it will cost.

I think many got the same problem. maybe the battery has something to do with it because a friend of mine got the same radio withn no battery and he unplugs and plugs it back all the time and it works fine. Mine had the battery in. I'm just guessingm but I'm sure Boston Acoustics engineers know what's going on. Maybe this explians why the model was discontinued. They will all end in the garbage can.
