Martin, Thanks for the reply! Remarkably, the (2) way in the remote functions, so I am going to approach this from the bottom -> up. As this is definitely an ON/OFF problem, I am starting with the blue cap on PCB1. It reads: 680uf -10v +/- 20% and is axial. I have found some, but they are physically too big [0.508" Dia x 1.260" H (12.90mm

At this point I reassembled everything and got the BL back on the charger. Fingers crossed... Hey! It works! It looks great! HOORAY!... ...wait a minute! What was THAT! It came back to life in sleep mode... OK, back to sleep, wait... ON AGAIN!!! Quick perusal thru the manual and I found the exact symptoms in the third entry of Section 2-7... The unit

4.) A close up of the (2) leads penetrating the PCB to the piezo. This proved a real challenge. The temperature of the original solders must have been remarkably high. It was very difficult to get enough heat into the joint for a secure bond.

3.) Another shot (premature -still more screws need to come out) showing that some leverage is required to remove the old panel. A thin paint/putty knife LIGHTLY wiggled in and back and forth helped to separate the plate from the PCB. A bit of a relief that the adhesive on the plate is more of a positioning strength than a fixing strength. It readily

2.) Here is a shot of PCB1 rotated 180d. You can see the R and B leads in the center.

Hi all, Sometime ago I sourced a BL7000 from a fellow BeoWorlder. While not in horrible shape, the lower mirrored touch panel was in bad shape with a tell-tale dent right in its center. I say tell-tale as this is exactly where the piezo solders out to PCB1 and reportedly can be the source of lots of problematic issues. Upon arrival, not much was happening

[quote user="Acanthus"] Yes the setup is linked to another room. Attached is a pic of the mainroom. [/quote] Good grief, man! What a beautiful place! When can I move in? OK... I was thinking that with linkage from BV to BV, perhaps the BL's would display... but not the case. Per my previous post... V/A/O switch set to V or the PL outputs

[quote user="Acanthus"]What do you think would be the best colour for the cabinet I'm going to purchase for my bluray-player. The choices are black and white. The furniture is the same that is used in combination with BV 8-40.[/quote] White... It will retain the floating looks of the BV/BL's and it will match the heater below the windows

[quote user="Peter "] The service manual suggests that there is a data connection but certainly nothing coming through to the Pentas. Interestingly the Beolab 3000s are still fine in a link room. Sky is shown as V-SAT. [/quote] Hmmm... interesting! Stupid question: Were the BL's V/A/O switches set for video? And/Or in the case of the link

First, beautiful setup and thanks for posting the pics! It is a match a lot of us have been looking forward to seeing! @[Peter]: Is there simply no "DATA" coming down the pipe from the BV10 for the displays? I wonder if [Ridax] might have a solution in his bag of tricks? Or, Is there an audio master in this setup? How about a rewire... (attaching
