Great prognosis, testing, description of solution, etc! I repaired a Bose AWRCC 2 using this instructional (mine wouldn't play CD's any longer). If you've viewed this video and read the reviews, please reward this man (Youness) by making a contribution to his paypal account. This video saved me either throwing out the Bose unit or paying someone over $100 to repair it, assuming that I could've even found someone who was willing and capable of doing the repair. Much thanks Youness!
I'm a forty year tech and these Bose units have been torturing me for years. Finally I've found someone who put me on the right path. I just started getting these things in at an alarming rate and now I can fix them. Thank you sir.
Thank you for this video. I repaired two of these radios, my own about a year ago, and my parents one just today. Used Nichicon solder trough type caps laying on their side with the legs creatively bent and trimmed to touch the surface mount pads
Thanks your video showed me how to find the fault in the same area as yours under the metal RF shield. I replaced it with a new cap and my radio works once again. Its not the exact uF or voltage but its a 20V 10uf cap and it worked fine .. Another TH-cam video saved me some $$ and taught me something new .. Thank you sir!
Thank you! I am a former Bose technician, but never worked on the Wave Radio. I have exactly the same radio that you fixed here which had a similar problem. It worked sometimes, but when I set the alarm, instead of the alarm turning on the radio, it would just reset the time to 12:00 am. I replaced the same capacitors (I happened to have similar SMD components and 30 years soldering experience), and now it works again! If not for this video I would have sold this radio on Ebay for parts. I would much rather keep it for another 15 years. Thanks again. I have made a donation and it was well worth it!
Thank you for making this video,I was given one of these bose radio's ,looked for a video to give me an idea where to look for the issue that was causing the non function,after watching your video I went straight to the problem testing as you demonstrated same issue,fixed total cost 75 cents us ,great video you nailed it Bro thank you.
YOU ARE TOPS! The BEST part about this video is when you call out 22uF 6Volt times two. Then you pull out an old 'donor board'! I was laughing my butt off! I thought I was the only one that did that Sanford stuff! You're the best! BTW the way mine needed just the cap on the left and I only had one. One guy did shotgun approach. But with these surface mount capacitors, I just didn't want to go that way, Bose not worth all that effort.
I got the same Bose wave system problem . Thank you for your video very informative and follow your technology to save my Bose in toosing to the garbage. And thanks to Erick Nilson souto for sharing this information.
Thank you for this interesting repair that contributes to further enrich our knowledge in electronics. I have a problem with a similar piece of equipment, the infrared receiver sensor broke down and I need to know what is the number of that component that can be used. Thank you.
@@SOSfixElectronics OK thank you. I ask him why I changed it for a new one and the fault still persists. What can be the cause of the problem? the remote control is working well and emits infrared light and there is voltage in the sensor in the Vs and Out pins of 4.80 V but the equipment does not turn on, it remains in standby (time) when connected to the electrical network, it does not obey remote control commands.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! My II works fine except CD player keeps saying "disc not playable" Tried cleaning the laser.. Would that capacitor test work in my case also?
Great job! I have a Wave Music System III. Brand new, everything works except it has no sound. Any idea on what may be wrong? I would send it to you but I'm in another country.
Taking an ESR tester to the boards, you'll find every single capacitor failing. To replace one or two *is not* a fix, as other problems are on the horizon very soon. Next, it will be the output I.C. bad, along with more capacitors that caused it.
What a waste of time. Except for one or two of the 47uf caps and maybe the 100/16, ALL the surface mount capacitors in that radio need to be replaced. The ESR on all of them is either over 25 ohms or out of range.

Glad it helped! and appreciated for feedback support and donation. thank you

Glad I could help
You nailed it! My unit had the exact same caps found to be bad. I had the unit repaired in no time. Thank you so much!
Living on borrowed time. They all need changed.

thank you so much for supporting this channel and that will help me sharing and posting more repair videos...
I'm impressed by your symptom interpretation and subsequent diagnosis method. I was surprised how well it worked. Well done.

That's amazing! Especially that method of testing the caps with a soldering iron! Ill look at my failed Bose radio now!

Excellent! My BoseWave now works again. Paypal donation sent

Thank man ribbon broke of board didn't know where it went thanks for the lesson
Thank you very much God bless you 😘 🙏🏻
Always welcome
You got me subscribe here in Canada
thank you
Nice going

any sensor looks similar to that one will works

use the hot air to warm up the caps to see if the cd we be detected

check capacitors by worming the board with hot air gun, dont burn it
there repair centre could not fix that they need find guy like you

Hi, located in lakeland. How much will you charge to fix my bose radio
yes. depend the problem around $60 but i ll need to check it first
What ?
