Default Bose Wave CD\Radio no sound


wrote in message
ups.com...
My parents gave me their old Bose Wave CD\Radio which, after traveling
250 miles when they moved house, stopped producing sound. I've had a
look at it, and it powers on OK, all the functions work, but no sound
comes from CDs, radio or AUX input. I've checked that the system isn't
muted (a very helpful tip from the manual...) and it isn't. I think
something must have come loose inside during the journey. Occasionally
it will make a noise like speakers do when the volume is turned up high
but nothing is playing, a loud hum. They said it worked once after the
travel, and once it worked but was very quite. Unfortunatly the
warrenty has expired. Any ideas what might have come loose?


The Bose Wave Radio is a very simply put together unit, and if you dismantle
it and take a look, it would not be difficult to spot any connectors that
had come adrift. However, I would think it much more likely that it has
taken a knock in transit, which has either broken a heavy component out of a
board, or cracked a board. A careful visual examination of the internals,
would have a good chance of revealing the problem.
