Resolve Bose SoundDock white noise issue?

Hi! I recently got a Bose SoundDock 1 for really cheap and it happens to have a problem that I have no idea how to resolve. When music is playing at low levels from my iPod, white sound is clearly audible. Sometimes, the problems is resoved by plugging the power cable in and out. How would I fix this?

Side note: Im using a newer iPod that firewire doesnt support (sound works but iPod doesnt charge).

Simulr possible event I had, a lose power cord. the sound worked but when I pushed the power cord into the device until it was in secure the sound improved. I was pretty surprised. I was able to reproduce the odd lose cable problem.

Thanks, though that's a bit late. In true Ifixit fashion, I opened up the speaker myself and fixed a ribon cable. That did the trick.

Do you have a link to details of the ribbon cable fix Imad?

Sadly I don't have a link. However, all I did was open the 2 'ports' at the bottom. Once I opened the big one, I saw a ribbon cable. I simply 'pushed into into place a bit more. I then opened the smaler 'port', lifted up the dock connector and blew some compressed air onto the whole assembly. I pushed in the ribboncable as much as I could and closed eveyrthing up.

So far its working and the speaker has no problems at all.
