Hi I am trying to repair a MX7000 that will not come out of standby. I will not use component numbers in this description because I am working from a MX6000 service manual as there is no MX7000 service manual on the BeoWorld site.

There is plenty on room in the car (Mercedes E Class Estate). Did you have the original packaging with yours? If I buy new packaging from a dealer does anybody know how big it would be in its original packaging and whether it can be transported flat once packed? Regards Richard

I am considering buying a BeoVision Avant 32 from a private buyer and would like some advice with regards to transporting the TV to its new home. The seller does not have the original packaging and I only have a large estate car.
