Hello!
I bought a BeoSystem 2 on ebay and it doesn't start. :(
I took the unit to the B&O Service and was told that as they don't have a service suitcase available I must pay in advance for the service suitcase (3000 Euro).
After they receive the service suitcase they can diagnose the problem and try to fix the beosystem. Then the dealer returns the service suitcase and after they receive a qoute for the defective parts they refund the difference. Is this normal practice for the B&O Service?
What options do I have without paying 3000 Euros? I am considering sending the unit to a service centre that has a service suitcase in stock for a quote.
Now for the techinical details:
It looks like the power supply is (almost) dead: according to the service manual I should have 7.5 V, 14 V and 1.35 V on connector P041 on the power supply and I don't. However I have the -11 V signal.
On PCB 06 (Main uP) there are 3 plcc sockets: one for the firmware (6IC3), one for the settings EEPROM (Atmel AT28C64B 6IC6) and an unpopulated plcc socket. Is this normal or am I missing a component from PCB 06?
Any ideas?
Regards,
Andrei
