The BC 9000 service manual is not on the database!

Black 7000's like the white systems are talked about on the forum but not that easy to sell. The market for both is smaller than the standard Black/polished alu versions so they don't make as much as you would think. I am very wary of buying black or white for sales stock. It may take some time to find a good one. Most are marked in some way

Most of them will work but some won't. Most of a cheap batch of no name caps that I bought from Maplins worked but some won't. I've still got some left. In my experience so far ALL of the more expensive 138AML ones have worked (now cased in white plastic rather than metal). Your problem will come when you fit the capacitor and the CD mech

[quote user="BeoBiker"] I know it is hard to guess the cause and price but how much is a normal or average repair in a normal case? I have contacted my dealer but they are closed and I just want to know what I am dealing with. [/quote] Are you an experienced electronics technician?? If yes, there is a fighting chance that you could fix it

[quote user="Die_Bogener"] I dont think, that replacement drives are still available... and 90% of the drives have no problem. It's the controller, bad caps or the power supply. You will need somebody to repair the controller in your country. [/quote] Is the CD Pro II kit no longer available?? This is/was supplied with a new controller

At a guess, £100 or so plus an hour to fit.

You could try cleaning the laser lens with a cotton bud which may solve the problem. If that doesn't improve matters then it will probably need a replacement CD mechanism.

The correct information is all on the forum but it calls for a little research! The most cost effective way is to order a capacitor kit from member Dillen who will provide excellent written instructions along with a "known to work" set of replacement electrolytic caps. The 502 Farnell stock are all in the US by the way!!!

[quote user="cableguy11"] yea im prety sure, i think the one you are refering to is the 10volt one, the one i pulled out from the b&o was 33uf 16 volt http://uk.farnell.com/vishay-bc-components/mal203035339e3/capacitor-33uf-16v/dp/1165415 and theres like 5000 available. [/quote] Wrong one guys. You want the 138AML series here http://uk

Are you sure you have ordered the correct caps? On the Farnell website they are well over £1 each . They are nil stock in the UK and must be delivered from US stock with a £15.95 delivery charge!
