Hi, I have Bose Wave Radio that died a few weeks after the warranty expired. At first it went intermittent with static, then all static, like the tuner went out (everyhting else appears funtional). Are these wave radios easily repaired, ie parts available, troubleshooting guides available? Thanks EM Subwoofer dies, used to work if I wiggled the audio input terminals in the back....
Most probably the Audio Amplifiers IC faulty but there are couple of version of IC used. TDA 7374 is one of them
Unfortunately, Bose will not release their schematics or parts lists, effectively giving them a monopoly on repair of their units. If you check the service/repair page on their web site, www.bose.com, you'll find that they will repair most Wave units for $100 or give you $200 credit towards a new model. Before spending the big bucks though, you might want to check out the new HD radios. Better sound and a MUCH lower price than the Bose.

Unfortunately, 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.
