Me ma's BL1000 has given up the ghost, checked /changed the batteries, checked voltage out of battery area and into the pcb and across the capacitor, checked terminals connecting wires board to battery area etc all ok, anything else to look for - it apparently just stopped working - kaput or what?

tony(now in uk and it does seem cold here)!

Is there any dirt under the contact foil? Water, salt, dirt, CocaCola, beer...

It's possible, that the BL1000 thinks, there is a button activated all the time.

Just what I was going to say. I had the same problem with A Beolink 1000 a few years back. Cleaned it and it has worked perfectly ever since.

Tried that still no joy - tried pressing all buttons - all seem ok

more?

Did your ma get a plasma tv set recently.... Those disturb the reception for b&o signals.

Had this issue trying to control an Beocenter AV5 that was close to our plasma TV.

no just used to control an Ouverture and an MX5500 ty

It reminds me of getting my Beovison LX5500 from an auction some years ago.

The Beolink 1000 did not work but I could turn the LX on by the buttons.

I went straight ahead down to the nearest B&O shop and got the print replaced.

The LX and Beolink 1000 still works to this day.

... very likely!

Tony, replacing the main-pcb (OrderNo 8007900) and, if it's a pre MKIII BeoLink 1000 ´

(STEP <> instead of arrow UP/DOWN to change program/title)  also the set of buttons

(OrderNo 2776010)  should be the solution  ...

If you use a digital camera or camera on a cell phone pointed to the IR end of the Beolink you should see the LED's flashing. At least that will indicate if there is a "stuck" button or any life at all when a button is pressed.

Have you tested the two capacitors inside?

Here is a posting I put on the Yahoo Beolist sometime back and the solution. Please read the postings from the bottom one up!

Hope it works for you.

WOW success!! - it worked brilliantly. Thank you so much, that was
great. To think, I had forgotten about Beolist and haven't been on
here for months.

Thank you

Stoobie

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful tip - yes it worked for me - had tried the digicamera to id operation of led's alas nothing but now i have a huge cheesy grin and a working bl1000

again thanks for the tip!

salut

tony

Worked for me too! I just couldn't figure out what was wrong with mine, but shorting out the battery contacts brought it back to life. Handy trick with the phone camera too.

That is so clever and quite amazing...would never have thought!

Unfortunately I can't take the credit, but such a simple trick!! Just glad to be able to pass it on to help

Stoobie

Forgot to add in earlier post thanks to all for suggestions etc - still have cheesy grin after the successful fiddling!

t

I too thought my beolink was kaput last night. Then after searching through the threads and finding stoobies advice on short circuiting, voila!! all is well again.

Thanks chaps,keep up the good work.

PS specail thanks to stoobie
