- In this video I show you how I fixed the humming sound coming from the speakers on a Bose Wave Radio AWR1-2W.
The cause was faulty / leaked capacitors on the main board but it’s advised to replace all the mini capacitors on both the main board and the daughter board.
Apparently Bose used some faulty caps back in the 90’s from what I’ve read.
Sorry there’s no footage of me removing the caps, I thought I’d pressed record and I hadn’t.
Below are the capacitors I replaced but you may find you need to replace more or less.
CAPS REPLACED
C113 = .1uf - 50v
C116, C120, C213 = 1uf - 50v
C149, C224, C225, C404 = 47uf - 16v
C202, C209, C212, C252, C506, C510, C511, C983, C984 C985 = 10uf - 16v
C433, C502, C504 = .47uf - 50v
ALL 105 DEGREES
Sadly, mine is going to go in the trash. I can buy an equivalent for less than the repair.
That's a shame, I take it you don't fancy having ago at the repair yourself but if you did it would be worth doing depending on what equipment you have. I bought a capacitor kit from Amazon for £11.99 and that worked out at 2p per capacitor and I had to change 22 from memory. If paying a service centre to do the repair then yes you may as well just buy a working replacement off eBay, the place is full of them. Many thanks for your comment.
@@DARTraderMediaProductions I've got the Wave Stereo, not the clock radio. It's a wonderful unit which after 25 years has developed the hum. Repair shop is my only option. Going to hurt to toss it.
@@bluelithium9808 That's sad but sometimes that's just the way it is, harder when you've had something for a long time.
