My Bose Wave Radio makes distorted humming when plugged in

This question was asked already but maybe I have more luck than the previous person. When I plug in the Wave Radio it makes a distored noise. I assume there is a electrical issue. Is it possible to save it from the trash?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

@rahhh can you post an audio file so we can hear what it sounds like? You will most likely have to take it apart, so post some good pictures of your circuit boards etc. That way we can see what you see.

Failed electrolytic capacitors are a possibility but one cannot rule out bad audio IC's on the amplifier circuitry.

Can you open the radio and check for any leaky or bulged capacitors? I have attached a picture below for reference.
