Hi all,

Well I have a Beomaster 6000 and after many years of working it will not power on.  I have a question, does it contain a battery in the microprocessor area that would keep it from turning on like the 4500?  or should I look at cap's & fuses?  What is the general experiance with the 6000 that you all have? 

Just wanted to clear up a question I got.  It is the one from the 80's that is the little brother to the BM8000.

Thanks for your help.

I am sure it will help members give you assistance if we know which BM6000 it is. Is it the 70's one (very complicated but beautiful)

 or the mini BM8000 type from 80's.

I have the 80's one and I think I actually prefer it to the BM8000. Partly because you can use it as a (very big!) clock radio. Terrific sound as well.

It's the one from the 80's

Welcome to Beoworld !

Will it go into standby when mains is applied ?

It shows no life at all.  No power indication just dark. 

Probably the fuse for the lower voltage power supply.
If so, check capacitors, especially C1 (3300uF), on module 16 (voltage regulator).
Very often found shorted.

Thank you Martin for the tip.  I will look at it this weekend.
