Hi,

I just purchased a brand new BV 7-40 MkIV from a certified B&O dealer. Well, brand new I am not so sure about that anymore.

Just being curious I entered the “Service Menu” to check the “Service Counters” which showed me the next figures;

Boot counter                                                    11092   

On                                                                      11536

Screen                                 (days)                   16

Basic                                   (days)                   0

AV                                         (days)                  16

DVD  eject                                                         201

DVD Audio                          (days)                   0

DVD Video                           (days)                  1

DVD on                                                              118

What do these figures mean, have I (well not I obviously) turned on this TV 11536 times in 5 days?

Have I watched for 16x24 hours to this screen?

Who can give me some explanation about these figures?

Does look like it has had some use!

On 11536 times..Id think that would have something like maybe 10 or 20 for testing not that amount!

16 days seams a lot also.

Think you better ask some questions from where you got the set!

Hi,

I have one possible explanation. My BV 7-40 MK1 had almost the same amount of usage when I got it in January 2006.

After contacting the seller I got an explanation directly from Struer. They occasionally take a set from the production line to test it. But what suprised me most: they sell the unit without even resetting the counters. Fortunately I got a new monitor from the factory with apologies.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks Acanthus, this is important information and will almost certainly help me to find a solution to this mystery.

I guess there is an error in this counter. I have a BV7-40 Mk3 for more than one year and the Boot Counter is 422, so there must be some fault in the Service Counter of your BV.

Edit: What Acanthus said is more logic. I was typing a reply while he posted it.
