thanks for the advice, dealer confirmed it is the motherboard. Replacement on its way...

Having read earlier posts, I understand that Beomaster 5 occasionally has motherboard issues. My Beomaster 5 seems to have lost its life: Does not react to commands of BS5, no screen on BS5, therefore no blue screen, green light ok on BM 5, no n.music, no n.radio available, internet does not connect. Could it be a faulty motherboard ? (mine dates from

Ich habe beim Haendler eine Klangprobe der BL 11 in einer Konfiguration mit der BL 8000 gemacht: Jeweils zuerst mit und dann ohne BL 11. Mit BL 11 haben die Baesse sehr gewonnen - ich wuerde den Bass als "warm" und nicht hart bezeichnen (habe selber BL 1 / BL 2 zu Hause). Ihr Haendler sollte Ihnen die Moeglichkeit geben, BL 11 zu Hause zu

Looks like this threat gives a vindication to the Beolab1 connoisseurs... With their massive built, BL1 reproduce sound superbly at all levels and radiate quality and longevity.

Ich erachte den Service, fuer neue und alte Geraete als Schluesselstaerke von B&O. Schlechte

This is a phantastic thread... great humour... really love it. Just look forward to discussing Beolab 5 XXL (3 meters diameter, ) to complement the 4-152. Only need to check the load capacity of the floors.

... cold not agree more with TripEnglish. In my view, let the entire "food chain" from producers to TV stations achieve full HD coverage in all their programs (may take a while). Probably more important than running after the next "next thing" called 3D.

My BM5 / BS5 update is running now all day already... not yet finished. Is the server infrastructure a bit weak in Struer to handle a few thousand updates ?

Like in automotive, OEMs in home electronics will buy from suppliers at their required quality. This will continue at even higher levels in the future. In the end, the overall composition including technology, design, service and "durability" has to be convicing for buyers to pay what is being proposed. So far, this has been a good competency
