The door mechanism is motorized. The mechanism itself is attached to a push rod that handles the opening function. There are a number of potential problems that can cause this: 1. The power supply feeding the door mechanism is burnt out. 2. The motor handling this function is burnt out. This usually occurs when the door belt starts to slip on these

I have a Beolab 8000 that was damaged cosmetically during a move. Now it is time to replace the cone and the alu body to make things whole again. What is the disassembly procedure to replace the outer body of the unit. I have one of the older style units that does not have the power supply built into the cone.

I've got two Beocenter 2500's with door and CD playback issues. The doors on both systems would not open and close originally. I read the thread on this issue and replaced the motor control board on one, and fixed the other one. The door belts were replaced on both units. I also took apart the motor and lubricated it on both units. Now the door

What about LED or LCD display sets? Do these type of sets affect the remote control signal reliability?

Has anyone successfully modified their Beocenters to use LED lighting in place of the incandescent bulbs that backlight the CD section of the unit? If so, any details on what to use and how to wire this up? I think the bluish white light from a LED would really update the look of the Beocenter, bringing it up to 2010!

Has anyone on this forum successfully resurrected their non-working Beolink 1000? What are some of the common problems and solutions for non-functional remotes? I have one which had corroded battery contacts from leaking alkaline batteries. Cleaning up the contacts didn't restore the remote's functionality, so I checked the continuity of the

Have you checked with your local dealer in Union Square? I believe dealers have a software application which enables them to program your remote to work with certain non-B&O equipment. Depending on your relationship with your dealer, it may cost you nothing, a nominal fee, or some standard fee. Not having a Beo5 myself, I don't know what the

I think a proper diagnostic would be helpful before proceeding further. First, does your Beosound's door motors run when one waves their hand in front of the unit? If not, the power supply to the door may be out. The control board controlling the door motor may have been taken down with it. If the motors run, does the motor run continuously? If

You could go a number of ways: - Get a universal remote like a Logitech Harmony which purportedly supports Bang & Olufsen systems as well as a TiVo, along with lots of other devices. - Get a code translation device like the Lintronic -238 unit, which enables one to use a B&O Beo4 remote to control your B&O equipment and the TiVo. - Get a

It depends on the problem you are experiencing with you set. If the standby light turns on when the set is plugged in, but the set does not turn on (no picture, no sound), and a repeating "fumping" noise, you have a power supply problem. I can't speak for the European sets like the MX-3000, but this sort of problem can usually be repaired
