probably as easy as a really stuck "V-TAPE"-key? Take a digital camera and aim at the IR-LED of the BEO4 If there's a periodic blueish blinking light it continuously sends a command; this would look like a stuck key. Then a little dismantling & cleaning of the keyboard might help. hx EDIT: Just found out that V-TAPE doesn't repeatedly

I remember playing "Ludo" (?, we call it "Mensch ärgere Dich nicht")) where you have to roll a "6" to get out in the game and you have 3 tries each round I was still sitting waiting after 2 rounds... So much for the theory; I quit looking at saf's formulas Although the "n over k" thing reminds me more

Puncher, it isn't that easy If you throw a dice 6 times doesn't guarantee you your desired number. That's the reason lotteries make money.... My statistic teacher at the university told me exactly what J0hn mentioned: Each chance is absolutely random; It doesn't guarantee a win after 550 draws So if there's a number: chances to win

Hallöle, Ich wäre vorsichtig mit selbergebauten Kabeln. Hab' fast 2 Jahre nach einem merkwürdigen Fehler gesucht das meine Pentas ab und zu einen richtigen akustischen "Schlag" erzeugten der wie ein elektrischer Überschlag klang. Hatte sogar im alten Beoworld-Forum schon mal nach diesem Fehler gefragt. Die Anlage lief

If I knew where to e-mail it to As I just spent my time scanning it... EDIT: got it! Gunther

[quote user="tournedos"] That's easy to test - press a button a hundred times and see if the number increments or not. I don't think I care enough to do that myself, though! [/quote] Waited for someone to do this but took me too long: Now I know, but I won't tell you (as you don't care) : (For all others: it counts 100 times

[quote user="Peter "] A:OFF3H [/quote] Soren is almost correct (but only almost ). It's 100 times the event of any keypress and it's in hex. So 0FF3 equals 4083, times 100 is some 408300 times a keypress (must be a heavy Zapper ) B:0487H: 100 times pressing the "up"-key: 115900 times C:OOE4H: 100 times pressing Vol+: 22800

[quote user="joeyboygolf"] @Gunther Where did you find the BL2000 circuit diagram? [/quote] From some 700 files (yes files, not circuits) I've e*ay'd about 3 years ago I did get them from a former repair shop that closed down. Beginning with circuits of some 60's TV sets with tubes only (except some germanium diodes) up to electronics

Chris, I think you're right BL2000 transformer has pins to shortcut to adapt for different voltages. Hope that the attachment thingy works... (umpf, it didn't , will retry: 6'th edit and it runs ) @ jldmelb: But definitely get someone who has the knowledge to change electrics - 120 V hurt as much as 240 V @ Graham: I DID bother, but you're

Magnetically unshielded speakers aside? Picture tubes get a lot of impact from magnetic fields - even earth's natural ones. On turning on TV's "demagnetize" the tube to "calibrate" it to the current position. I used to have lot of fun turning (smaller!) TV sets upside down while powered on; made a lot of coloured fun. I even
