Title says it all! Brian

I am trying to mend an MCP5500. I discovered that some aspects of the technical issues have been covered previously after I searched the archives. However I really need to ask some more questions and thus hopefully update the responses from other kind Beoworlders! What is the best way of doing this - a new post or hope that someone will update an original

Is it working completely on the AM bands? Can you direct it with the MCP to go to a fequency above 92 to find a radio station that you know exists eg Classic FM 100.3?? Use GOTO and then 1 0 0 3 on an MCP 5500 - I cannot remember how it works on an MCP 5000 as it is quite a few years since I had one (and even more since I first needed to tune it in

1. Service Manual 2. Try a hair dryer to warm some of the components on the first couple of boards. It is usually capacitors that cause the problems. 3. Be careful 4. Keep the external good parts and buy another TV for next to nothing and make 1 good from 2 bad!

Well so much for me saying that February was short so the next prize draw will come around again sooner! My clock until the next prize draw is reading over 342 days!! Brian

I have come to the conclusion that the connections can be temperamental as my passive (driving a pair of CX100s at the rear) would not switch on yesterday! I wish there was some way of controlling it directly! Brian

Congratulations to tonights lucky prize winners. The good news is that February is the shortest motnh of the year - so the next prize draw will be around that much sooner! I would be interested to know what goodies the first prize was used for at Lifestyle! Once again, thank you for the excellent prizes Brian

Drum roll, drum roll - YES - let us know the lucky one!

Of course I think the heaviest remote is the MCP - but that is not one to throw at anyone! It would be intersting to weigh them all (with and without batteries!) Brian

Brilliant prize - well done Mr C - I have been looking for one in good condition! Brian
