Wave radio died

[Golfdmd]

We left the house Saturday morning and all was well. Returned Sunday and my Bose Acoustic Wave Radio was showing all the characters on the display. I searched the knowledge base and attempted a reset. The only thing that changed was one set of lights went out when the battery pack was out of the unit.  

Next I tried to submit a return only to find that when I listed the S/N it couldn’t be found. I’ll admit that this is a first generation AWR but Bose has been great about past repairs of my outdoor 251 speakers so I was surprised that the S/N wasn’t recognized. 

My question is twofold; First, does Bose still service these old items and second, since there was no avenue to continue the repair submission without the S/N, or is there? Do I need to call support?  I suppose I would also listen to advice for an at home fix as well! 

Thanks
