As captioned, my BS2 has suffered a computer chip failure which will cost around 190 pounds sterling to repair.  I have decided not to repair it as it only cost me that amount to buy it [and that price included the A-8!].  Did I make the right decision?  If so, what do I do with all the accessories, i.e., table top charger, travel charger and A-8 [one used pair and two new in box courtesy of Beoworld]?  Should I do as Peter and use it as a paperweight?

It is remarkable how often I see BS2's available w/o all the accessories! I would look for another "solo" BS2 and paperweight/spare the old one.

Actually I gave mine away - I actually lent the BS2 to someone , but never got it back so gave the accessories to people who needed them.  I now use a Beolink 1000 as a paperweight (though a very useful one!)

Yeah, guess I will do that.  Otherwise, I will have to sell the accessories on here or on e-Bay.  Thanks.

sorry to hear that Wings

mine also failed in 2009 and I asked people's opinion ... iPod versus repair ... everyone said iPod but in the end I repaired the BS2

I still love it ... but I now tend to use an iPod Nano simply because it holds some 500 tracks and I can more easily select what I want

But I think the BS2's sound is superior

If mine failed again I would use it was a paper weight rather than repair it

Your A8s (like mine) should work with any player

As I said somewhere else last week, both my BS2 chargers are suffering from too many road trips

So I would be happy to buy one or both of the chargers from you if you like ... or suggest you put them on eBay to get the best price

Thanks, Ed.  You have an e-mail.

No worries, mate.  All the Beosound 2 gear is still with B&O service.  They have been closed three or four days for Chinese New Year and appear to be equally behind schedule.  Will let you know when I get everything back -- supposedly both the desktop charger and the travel charger have been checked and found to be working properly.

Hi Wings,

How much would you sell the BS2 as it is now?!

Would be very interested.

Please PM or email.

Best regards
