Bose SoundTouch 20: ffc ribbons attach to wifi module where?

Sun, 30 Jun 2024 12:41:45 -0700

removed the lcd and button ffc ribbons from wifi module and can not remember where on the wifi module they get re-connected.BOSE BUTTON And LCD DISPLAY FFC PATHWAY TO WIFI MODULE PHOTO

not sure I managed to upload photo.

photo shows one ffc cable going to front cover of unit for LCD display and the shorter one goes to the top of the unit for button operation.

my question however is WHERE they COME FROM, as this photo looks like they both originate from the same connector possibly on the wifi module. this photo does not show wifi module in its entirety for me to see though.

thanks for your help and I hope I am helping you better so you can help me. lol

Bose SoundTouch 20: The soundtouch 20 does not turn on, progress bar stay at bottom.

Tue, 07 Dec 2021 12:34:18 -0700

My speaker could not connect to the soundtouch app, so i've done a firmware upgrade. Unfortunately during of this method the installing was stucked out. After that I can not turn on, I can not use it. The hard reset, soft reset can not work, and the firmware upgrad can not be started again. The progress bar stay at bottom (stay empty).

I hope somebody could help with this issue.

Thank you for your help in advance!

Bose SoundTouch 20: Bose Soundlink 20 display flickers

Thu, 31 May 2018 14:51:42 -0700

My display flickers and is generally quite dim now. If I tap the display it flickers more and it also flickers more with the vibrations from the beat of the music. Could this be just a loose ribbon cable or a dry joint on the display? Any know where I can get a replacement display or what the part number is?

Thanks
