I just got home from work and switched everything on at the powerpoint, as i do, and while everything was sitting in standby, my left bl4000 was making an arcing sound and the light was glowing yellowy greeny reddy (as if it was being electrocuted)! When i power up the music system, the speaker stops arcing and operates green and sounds as it should!

Is this going to be an expensive fix, has anyone experienced this? I'm assuming the switch's power supply, in the loudspeaker has had it... :(

This is my first out of warranty B&O fault - I'm worried

Don't be worried - it CAN be fixed :)

It could be two things:

1. The power supply has to be exchanged - not an expensive fix.

2. The cable is defect. Have you tried exchanging the cables/beoLab 4000's? Does the fault follow the cable or the speaker?

I hope its the last - since this is the cheapest to fix.

Ah thank you! No, i did the cable check, so it's in the speaker,

To be honest i have been waiting for it to happen, this speaker has never switched on and off (that click sound when it turns on), and it stays on, even if the switch is in the popped out position.

I hope it doesn't cost more than a hundred pounds... i'm not very wealthy at the moment - i wonder if insurance would cover it (thats not likely is it!)
