    Beosound 2 charger plug broken

    Hello all, i have an issue where my BS2 is now useless because the charger is un-usable.

    What has happenned is, the cable to the dock has broken away from the plug (it looks like a telephone plug but smaller) to the transformer. There is simply a red and black wire hanging out of the cable, does anyone have any information that could help me? Or is this a B&O service department-only issue.

    The telephone type plug can't be opened up, so i don't know what to do

    Hi Dave,

    Hope you're still enjoying your Ferrari Edition BeoCom 4! Stick out tongue

    I have had this exact same problem with my BeoSound 2 docking station and cables in the past. I'm sure it's of cause of travelling with it very often. Anyway, I spoke to my dealer and all he could do was order me a new part. He told me it was £15.00, and so I ordered one immediately as I was expecting to ripped-off by quite a bit more. Took a week to arrive and then my dealer fitted it easily. The new part was a new cable, so my dealer just needed to fit one end into the inside of the docking station.

    I've always wondered whether B&O made a travel charger for the BeoSound 2?

    Good thanks! They do apparently offer travel adapters...

    I just fixed it, i had a brain wave and did it myself, i found an old telephone in the spare room and it used the same rj22 plug that was needed. I re-wired that plug, spliced the B&O cable, and hey presto, i fixed it, for free. Big Smile

    It baffles me why they use an rj22 plug for a transformer, it really does. Very flimsy.
