Has anyone actually done this? I am getting the CD err message and I have a couple questions before I tackle the project.

It says I have to replace all the resistors in order to fix the problem.

In this pic, he is replacing a surface mount resistor.

How do I do that? The only resistors I ever see are a small tube with 2 wires on them, easy enough to replace.

 

And radio shack sells resistors in 1/2watt and 1/4 watt, which ones are they?

Thanks in advance to anyone who knows what they are talking about

 

I've done it, it is the 470 ohms ,look again at radio shack they have the exact part you need, just ask someone... it cost 99c fro 5 of them

 

those are surface mount resistors used commonly in comercial electronics. You can get them from www.digikey.com. There are 2 major things you need to know, the resistance value, 500 ohms, 1k ohms, so on, and the size. I can't really tell from that picture but I would guess they are either 1210 or 1812. Not sure how long this link will work but this is the search page for digikey, just put in the values you need and the results will show up:

alright thanks guys ill give her a try

 

Guinader, did you replace the chip resistor(s) as well?

 

punk ass bose repair, I tried it soo many times even swithces the very much working display resistor with the cd player resistor.

after a while I finally figured out how to fix it. . .
