Since a few months I’m the happy owner of a 2hand Beovision Avant 28” VCR 50Hz/MK-I/MK-II, type 8111 (yes, a pretty old one J). The set was equipped with a new tube (as was said to me by the private person who sold the set to me).
After installing the Beovision at my home, sometimes the screen turned out to be reddish or greenish. This was simply solved by me by softly hitting the PCB on the back of the tube. Then I repaired the VCR and everything was function in good order, until… yesterday, when the screen turned greenish again.
To solve the problem I softly moved the PCB on the back of the tube again (as usual), but now suddenly the screen turned black and the set switched off with a “bang”. Switching on again did put the Beovision in stand-by, but it can not be turned on. It is possible to turn on in VCR-mode and in that mode you have access to the (service)menus. There’s no image, even not in VCR-mode. The VCR itself can not be started. The volume as seen on the red display can be changed but there’s no sound (as there is no image). Also the stand-function is working well. Although there is no TV image, teletext shows a black page “P100”.
Initially, in service mode, the last TV error showed “8A-1” and after several times switching off and on it showed “DF”. I did reset this “DF” message to find out if a new failure would come up, but last TV error now stays on “NO”. Last ML/SL error shows “CI”.
Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong or what can be done? Is it a power-supply? Is it the tuner that is defective? Or anything else?
I look forward to response on my questions, because I’m eager to have my Beovision working again (at not to high costs…). Just to be complete, I’m living in the town Hengelo in The Netherlands (and my wife is asking me often when the set will be repaired again L)
