yup, can confirm. just got mine to work with the jaycar 100V 3A diodes. bit bigger and they're not the same casing but you can make it work. i believe these FR diodes get a bit hotter than the B2100 so just make sure you leave the diode with plenty surface area to dissipate the heat.

Worked for me too. Thank you

Thanks for this video. Ours died just before Christmas and conveniently after warranty expired. I thought I made a mess of it and had no expectation of a glowing light after powering on, but it did! Massive thanks to a commenter here who advises adding two blobs of solder to the reverse side prior to installing; this helped massively.

Amazing and thank you so much. Your solution has fixed mine too. Diodes from China on eBay- I ended up receiving 50 by mistake so plenty of room for errors, but did it with the first one. Used a pointed scalpel to remove the glue- cut down vertically in the shape you want to remove then just lever up the glue. Worked a treat. I'm sure people know this, but for soldering, hold the diode upside down very gently in some small grips and dot solder on both the terminals. Hold it with tweezers in position and just apply heat on each connection until the solder melts and sinks down- be patient. Hold it in place until the solder cools then do the other side. The line on the diode goes to the left- hard to see on the original. Thanks again and much appreciated.

This probably saved me from frying a chip. I used an extra pair of hands as I didn’t have a vice/grip and this instantly helped. Thanks a lot!

Thnx tonne mate !!! Acoustimass back to life after 5 months !!! B2100 is out of stock across the entire world..... finally tried an alternative- SS210 works flawlessly...... lets hope it stays that way. Though couldnt solder myself..got it done from a local shop...

Many thanks for sharing this. Part ordered on eBay,delivered from China to France in 2 weeks. Subwoofer fixed and now working ! The most annoying thing is to remove the glue and clean the contacts on the board after removing it. I should advise using a iron soldering where you can set the temperature.

Hi , could you please let me know where you bought them from? Thanks.

Thanks! I went to the local shop and they gave me a normal diode 60V 3A I believe, they told me it is sufficient. I also removed the glue around the diode using a precision knife instead of heating it. It took a bit longer but it was less messy. It works fine afterwards.

Many thanks mate - never undertaken a board repair before - all fixed and working - probably going to be a bit crossed for a while 😊

Thanks for the posting. My woofer also lost power. I have ordered diode B2100A-13-F SMA(DO-214AC). However in the motherboard it was only B2100. Still we replaced and it worked. Amazing

After replacing the diode my bass module 700 worked again but i felt the sound is broken(fluttering) . Can u please suggest any fix ? Thanks in advance💯

I wouldn't put hot glue on the diode. That is probably the reason that it failed in the first place (my brothers Bose failed too and that had some glue on it)! Those diodes get hot and must dissipate heat into air. The hot glue is used around inductors to stop them whistling and also for mechanical fixing too. The person who was responsible for the hot glue was obviously trigger happy and covered over a critical component that needs to be in free air. If it fails again, next time clear away any old glue.

Hi I’ve had the same problem but Bose repaired it. Now my soundbar 300 has just stopped working - no lights or response from it. Power is available and checked. Any idea what I should look for as a fault. Also item is out of warranty. Thanks
