Bose Wave radio will not power up

@keithmposey the Please Wait just means that the processor can't complete the boot process. For now I suggest that you unplug your Bose radio and leave it unplugged for a fairly long time (like overnight) Hopefully this will reset the processor.

If it does not, then you do want to check all of the electrolytic capacitors inside your Bose. It is possible that your processor can't finish the boot because of power issue.

The Radio is probably old enough to warrant a good cleaning and recapping anyway :-)
