Hi, I have a Beovision 3 which is linked to an Overture, a pair of Beolab 8000's, a pair of 6000's and a subwoofer. About 4 months ago, the TV simply stopped responding to commands: the red standby light was on, the green "on" light would come on occasionally, along with the speakers -for about 1 or 2 seconds, then crackle and everything would go back into standby. A call to my local dealer led to a hefty repair estimate over the phone, based on the fact that repairs at component level couldn't be diagnosed and so weren't possible - the only option was to replace the whole elctronic module within the TV. There was some thought that electrical interference from an aerial booster had caused the problem and the resulting interference/spikes had caused the TV to shut down. The repair estimate was frankly more expensive than similar sets here on the net were selling for-and some of those had 12 months gaurentees.
Anyway, without further intervention, after just sitting in a corner not touched at all, the set burst back into life, after a rest of about a week! - and its been fine for the past 3 months..until yesterday. Again, exactly the same problem: it will go from standby and respond to some commands e.g. play CD's, the audio tape and switch between radio stations-but of course I have no sound as the speakers will not come out of standby mode and the TV will not respond at all, so no sound and no picture.
I've had B&O kit now for over 34 years and have never had any technical or reliablilty issues. I've owned several TV sets some of which have gone on for years and years. MY Be0 3 hasn't even made it to its 7th birthday. Is it beyond economic repair or can anyone suggest what might be causing these problems and whether there is any alternative to a costly repair?
