Description

Partially disassembled, not much to it. Needs repair, from what I have read Cheap SMD capacitors where used when Bose left the USA and went to China. The Word is to replace them with TTH capacitors. for an electronics guy or girl could be a fun little project. The CD/Radio/AUX buttons cause the player to flash " please wait " on the lcd screen it goes blank, resets the clock to 1200 then nothing happens. I also read that one specific capacitor causes this and I have identified it, but I dont have the tools to work on it, nor do I know how to order a replacement capacitor that will fit. It looks like a 22 micro farad 6.3v cap, there is another number on it but cant make it out, possibly 85 ?
