One of the preset buttons on my stock Bose radio is dead. Does anyone know what would cause that and how to fix it, if possible?
 
It doesn't have anything to do with the music. The button itself doesn't work at all--ie, it won't preset a station or change a station--it's just plain dead.
 
It would seem you've gotten some crud on the contacts or under the button. I spilled a little coffee on mine years ago which caused a problem- I now have an aftermarket system. You could, or have someone disassemble it to clean it but it hardly seems worth the trouble and cost.
 
Problem solved--I just sprayed a little electrical contact cleaner in the crevaces around the dead button and it immediately came back to life. At last, a simple fix!
