Hi Kimberly,

Here is a link to manuals Bose offers for one of many systems. In it you will find the instruction Bose Support Owner Manuals for Home theatre systems and speakers


Here is a brief from the lifestyle 50 system. Lifestyle 50 System Bose Product Support .At the site you can navigate until you find your desired hardware. Take a look.

FOR THE BOSE LIFESTYLE 50 SYSTEM (Model P1 - Personal Music Center remote)
You can re-calibrate the remote first by following the steps below:
1. press and hold down on the display screen in the top middle area of the remote
2. After a few seconds the word CAL will appear in the middle and the word SOURCE will appear in the top left area of the remote.
3. Press the SOURCE button.
4. The word KEYPAD will appear in the top right area of the remote
5. Press the KEYPAD button and a small circle will appear in the bottom right of the remote.
6. Press the Circle
This should've recalibrated the remote.
If you need to relink the remote to the system, HOLD down the mute button while having the remote as close as possible to the unit. You will hear a beep . Release the button, after a pause , you will hear the remote beep twice.
This re-links the remote to your system
If the backlight is not working, your options are
1. Spend $349 and get a new one from Bose Or
2.Spend $220 and get a used one on E-bayOR
3. Use your remote with the lights on so that you can see the display :-)...the cheapest way OR Invest in an LED Book light that you can clamp on the remote and use that for your light ($9.99)

you can get it rebuilt on eBay

I think we're discussing the Personal Music Center II.

I had to back into the product from the remote model number. Can we assume you also have one of the compatible LS systems (18 or 28 Series II or the 38 or 48) ?

You can go to Bose.com and search for it or register and download the manual for free at retrevo.com

The first item in Troubleshooting (page 28) might explain what's happening.

Hi,
Our bose wave system stopped working also. The remote wouldn't work, it wouldn't turn off nothing. So finally we re-set it by clicking the button on the power strip it was plugged into.
It then worked! we had a power glitch a few weeks ago and think that had something to do with it. I hope this helped, and helps others!

Had the same exact problem. Blue screen, no text, but remote worked ok - if you could figure out which buttons did what. Tried every solution posted online - battery pull for 10 sec, battery pull for 1 hr, and battery pull overnight. Tried updating software, firmware, but nothing worked. Found a replacement screen on ebay for $26 shipped, replaced it in less than 5 minutes, and works great.
