The reciever module stopped working. I could tell the remote was working, I watched the IR light flickering through my phone camera and he also said he took it to a Bose place and the remote worked their products. In removed the old one, soldered in the new one, and it works like a new one. Bose wanted $200 to repair it. I cut the legs on the old module to make removing the solder from the holes easier, and of course take a quick picture with your cell phone before starting to remind you of component orientation when you install it. I also touched the legs of the component to the old one while powered on and the remote worked fine, so I knew it would work after installation. Review: The IR receiver worked like a charm and I had no issues or problems ... - Ordered item to see if I could fix my Bose Cinemate that had been sitting in my home office for a year. The IR receiver worked like a charm and I had no issues or problems removing (desoldering) and replacing (resoldering). Please be very patient when soldering and take your time. I promise when you reassemble and hit the power button you will be extremely satisfied. (If you need assistance, I used a Youtube video). ## Features - Elliptical lens helps block light noise from above and below the center frequency of 38kHz. - Low-voltage operation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006OAHKEE | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,311 in Single Board Computers (Computers & Accessories) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (89) | | Date First Available | May 1, 2012 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.2 ounces | | Item model number | 4330159608 | | Manufacturer | Vishay | | Product Dimensions | 1.25 x 0.5 x 0.5 inches | ## Images ![38kHz Infrared (IR) Receiver Module for Arduino and Remote Controlled Electronic Circuits - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LlK1m-kBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saved me $200 on a repair to a Bose Music Machine *by P***L on June 11, 2018* A friend had a Bose music machine he purchased years ago that had not buttons to operate it, ONLY the remote control.
