Bose Wave Rado AWR1W1 touch pad problem

[papaG]

Some, not all, of the touch pad buttons no longer work.
The remote still works.
Can this be taken apart and cleaned? Should I just replace the touch pad?

You may struggle to get it as a spare part. I don't know which side of the
pond you are, but UK-side, Bose stopped supplying all spare parts other than
'consumables' about 4 or 5 years ago. I do a lot of work for an official
Bose dealer, and used to do a lot of Bose service work. Then, when the
recession bit, they took all service work back in-house, and made their
dealers send everything back to them for fixed-price repairs. That was when
they also stopped supplying parts ...

On E-Bay I bought some "KEYPAD FIX". It fixed a few TV remotes, a key fob,
and a touch panel stereo. The box says Idolon Technologies in MA. Works
well enough for a recommendation.
