Can you fix a Bose Wave radio/CD player???

Update (12/31/2016)

When I put in a CD, it begins spinning rapidly. There's no sound coming out and I lift the lid to manually stop the spinning. Then I have to pressStop, open the lid again and try to start the music. Sometimes it works, sometimes I have to keep doing that.

Answered! View the answer I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I can put a CD in, nothing happens. The radio is great, the alarm is fantastic, but I cannot play my new Glen Campbell CD, ADIOS. No one in San Angelo repairs Bose. Sure appreciate any help given.

The cd on the wave radio and 2 of the 3 cd slots in the attached changer will not exit. They are stuck and will not play. Only the radio is working. Can this be repaired?

I just had mine fixed by a Company who specializes in this since Bose itself no longer supports this model.

They did a great job. Norbern @1 (800) 379-2073, +1 (719) 550-5810 or toni@norbern.com

I have a Bose Wave Radio/CD player, and the cd player just stopped accepting cd's....error message: cd not playable. I researched the Bose site and tried lame fixes, and then "signed up" for repair. The 'repair' was for Bose to sell you an updated, new system with a slight discount ( which I found I could get online, anyway). I tried cd cleaners, no fix. I finally got the idea, since some players are mounted vertically, etc., to insert a cd, lift up the unit and slant it 45 degrees....voila! It took the cd, and now works perfectly fine again !

So much for Bose being a great company. As much as I love the technology and performance, this is no way to treat customers !
