Resolve Bose SoundDock white noise issue?

Hi! I recently got a Bose SoundDock 1 for really cheap and it happens to have a problem that I have no idea how to resolve. When music is playing at low levels from my iPod, white sound is clearly audible. Sometimes, the problems is resoved by plugging the power cable in and out. How would I fix this?

Side note: Im using a newer iPod that firewire doesnt support (sound works but iPod doesnt charge).

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Thanks, though that's a bit late. In true Ifixit fashion, I opened up the speaker myself and fixed a ribon cable. That did the trick.

Do you have a link to details of the ribbon cable fix Imad?

Sadly I don't have a link. However, all I did was open the 2 'ports' at the bottom. Once I opened the big one, I saw a ribbon cable. I simply 'pushed into into place a bit more. I then opened the smaler 'port', lifted up the dock connector and blew some compressed air onto the whole assembly. I pushed in the ribboncable as much as I could and closed eveyrthing up.

So far its working and the speaker has no problems at all.
