BOSE Lifestyle 28 power problems
The fuse in the power supply of my nine month old BOSE Lifestyle system has
blown twice in the past two days. No other audio or visual units have been affected that are plugged into the same electric sockets, so seems unique to the BOSE. My retailer states that the power supply unit needs to be changed and has offered to do so. However he is unwilling (or unable - not the most clued up retailer I've bought from) to say why the unit's fuse is now constantly blowing. Any of you experienced the same ? and any idea why this is now ocurring ? |

Edward Martin:
The unit's fuse is now constantly blowing because the power supply unit is faulty and "needs to be changed" Since the retailer (who is probably not a technician and that's why you can not expect technical answers from him) has most graciously offered to replace the power supply unit, you should take him up on his kind offer. Remember, the retailer did not design and manufacture the equipment, so don't get upset at him, be very happy he has offered to replace the faulty part. -- Best Regards, Daniel Sofie Electronics Supply & Repair - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Edward Martin" wrote in message ...

BOSE Lifestyle 28 power problems
Thanks Dan for the advice - you're right of course its not the retailers
fault, but in the absence of being able to get directly to BOSE................... He's now provided a replacement power unit and all seems ok so fingers crossed this is now sorted. However this isn't the only problem I've had with equipment I've purchased from this retailer - he has an awful lot to learn about customer service and this latest problem is merely one of many, but thats another story for another day.

Well, if you will buy fashion objects..... You don't seem to have much cause for complaint here. A unit failed, he replaced it. What more do you expect? |
