Bose companion 5 no sound except aux

Hallo 

 

I have a bose companion 5 from maybe 8 years ago

I really liked them and after a long time I did not use them I tried to turn on the system but nothing worked..

I sent it to a lab and the fuse was burnt probably a short circuit in my house sometime..

I came home after fuse replacement the system turns on and the computer recognized it but no sound at all..

 

Just to mention through the headphone input there is sound and i can adjust the volume..

 

What you think guys? 

Someone know this problem?

 

From the distributor they told me that i should replace the main board and the control pod..(but the pod is working with headphones) and maybe it fix that.. 

 

 

Thanks

Nir

Actually i tried all these steps before i saw this page you give me..

Nothing is change 

Select audio device

Reset

Re-connect all cables..

I

It stay on the same situation that i can heard from headphones when its connected to the aux on the pod but when disconnect it there is no sound at all from the speakers and subwoofer..

 

 

It can be a problem from the pod only? 

Or from the main board as well? 

 

If i need some of these parts where can i buy it??

Hi again 

Actually i buy this speakers in usa,

And in this link you give me i dont find my country,

anyway i contact the local distributor and sent it to them for testing.. 

They told me that i needed to replace the pod and the main board too..

 

The problem is that i really dont know what is really necessary to fix this and this repair costs is almost the same like new speakers..

 

My question is what is the price of these parts in USA and if i can buy them for self repair...??

(i can order it to address in USA even if you dont have a shipping to my country)

 

Thank you very much 😊

Once you have provided us with the region you are located in, we will be able to provide you with the correct link to find the support team in your region. 

 

We look forward to your reply.
