Has anyone ever come accross it? My Bose radio is malfunctioning- sometimes when I start up the car the display does not come on. the little light indicating that the CD is in lights up fine. Also, sometimes it's dim and when I press on the display it gets brighter (normal). But when there is no light whether I press or not does not make any difference.

What can it be?

thanks

I just got a 96 SE the end of dec. The other day i noticed the same thing as you...radio still works find but the display is off. Today I noticed something even a little wierder...I turned my car on this morning, and the display was off, but after 2 or 3 seconds, it came on. So i bakced out of my driveway, started driving down the street, and noticed the the display was off again. not sure how long it took to come back on after that..

i think the display is has gotten loose from the circuit board behind it... I give a tap to the plastic around it, and mine lights up again. I'm going to wait until summer to open it up. But i'm sure it's just a loose contact.

mine id the same thing...i fixed it by playing with the large plug that connects to the rear of the unit...on mine it was sort of loose

Yeah, it goes on and off sporadically... i am thinking that maybe it has something to do with the cold weather- i.e. it went on after the car warmed up once, but I am yet to see a pattern.
Sometimes it's very dim and tapping/pressing does work, but sometiomes it just fades away...

On the similar note, how easy is it to take it out/tighten the loose end?

Thanks
