    Beogram 8000 - help needed

    Hi there fellow Beoworld-ers,

    I just finished a restoration of a poorly 8000 - with parts and invaluable advice from resident B&O guru, Dillen.

    The restoration has gone very smoothly and seemed a typical example of its type.

    The trouble is, i have sat down to FINALLY hear the reward of my labours - and 1/2 an hour in - the thing just died. No sign of life - no blinking LED when plugging in the power - zilch. Pity, it was really sounding greatSad

    Luckily (maybe) i cant smell any "burnt" odours emanating from the unit. I just tried replacing the main 160mA fuse (seemed fine), but same result. All i can think is that as the PCB has heated up, one of the power supply solders has given way (i hope so anyway). Just hoping one of you may have an "aha" idea for me

    Of course, i've posted off to Dillen (he must be a very busy man)- but i thought another 8000 owner may have an answer.

     Cheers, Mike

    Hi Mike,

    Great to see you in the forum.

    Yes, I'm sure it must be a solder joint in the power supply, at some connector and/or at the processor socket.
    Those are the most common places.
    Could also be a fault within the transformer module but that is rarer.

    Martin
