Bose docking station chip broke off
I have a bose docking station and the place where you put your ipod is broken. The computer chip that sticks into your ipod was ripped off the docking station. Who can fix this? Can I send it into Bose or have someone fix it

I had the same problem that the ipod would onl play when I pulled it forward in the dock. Looking closely, I saw that some of the pins on the left hand side of the connector were bent forward, so I bent them back with a needle:
(ie. pushing the pins to the right, as shown here). This solved the problem for me.
If your connector is too far gone, I suggest looking to:

for a new connector for £3-4 or

for a whole PCB (Printed Circuit Board) replacement for £10-15.
Hope this helps...
You need to get this serviced from Bose.
