Hi,

I installed an MCL2AV but forgot to disconnect the Din Plugs from the beomaster 5000, and now the beomaster doesn't power up.

What can be wrong ?    I controled the fuse but it's ok.

Thanks

What DIN plugs did you connect ?

Beoworld product section says nothing about the BM 5000 being supported by this unit:

Similarly beocentral says this unit came after the end of the BM 5000 product (superseded by the BM 5500):

However this Beoworld thread may provide some insights:

Also don't forget Beotech as a resource:

I initially replied to your post with the following proper working links, however my post went into moderation (the too many links rule) so I am doing a re-post ....

Hi,

The cable between the Beomaster and the Mcl2av  has on one side Din plugs with 3 pins each, and on the other side the wires are free to connect to the Mcl2av.

Hi,

It's only to refresh.

See the answer below.

Thanks

Do you get the red standby dot? If not, the worst case scenario is that the CPU was damaged by static electricity or some kind of voltage spike when you played with the connectors. The BM5000 unfortunately has very little internal protection for this. If this happened, the only way to fix it is to get a new processor chip (or preferably the complete CPU module) from a parts unit...

Could be also something less drastic, that just happened to occur at the same time. But there's no way of knowing without investigation, starting from the supply voltages, and replacing the caps in the CPU module. Faulty caps and unstable supply lines might prevent the processor from starting up.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

It's amazing that those things can arrive when the beomaster is not in fonction.

I had the red dot, but after  playing with the connectors, it was gone.

I'll try to control what i can, but i'm not very bright.

Thanks
