Mine does the same - needs dismounting and cleaning - never find time!

thanks.

have tried this but i still have problems, could the sensor be faulty?

is so can they be changed?

thanks

mark

If it is the same as mine, it is not the sensor but the fact the door opening mechanism doesn't engagage with the door. Does it click when you put you hand in front of it?

hi peter when it does move it is very smooth with no noise do you think when it is fully closed it is catching somewhere?

mark

I think it is coming loose from the mounting. When you slide it manually when it hasn't opened, does it click at the end of the movement, and then will it work?

no there is no noise at all.

how can i see if it is coming loose and how can it be fixed?

thanks

mark

Yours sounds like a different problem to mine. I'll let you know if I fix mine though!

Ok now i have another problem?

i remove the speaker frets and cleaned as advised (yes they were a bit dusty)

now it has started playing up!

when i play a cd sometimes it will stop and the door will open the the cd clamper will lift up, then close again and repeats itself two or three times then the door will close 3/4 shut and thats it.

I then have to open the door myself and re-start the cd????

any ideas or should i let my local dealer have a look (B&O Yarm).

If so any idea on cost?

thanks

all

on the big gear wheel driving the door there is an optical censor, thats tells the uP what position the door and clamper are in, when there get to mush dust in it, it can no longer point out where it is. so a good claening of the gear wheel well help.

thanks i will try cleaning the gear and sensor se how it goes but i still cant get the door to open when i go near it.

thanks

It is also possible to get a new modified gear wheel, where dust shouldn't be a problem

sorted the gear problem out! it was full of dust but the door still will not open so it looks like a trip to the dealer.

Is there anyway of testing the receiver L.E.D ?? as behind the right speaker next to the door there is a small black IR receiver and on the ciruct board there are two IR transmitters are these for the door??

thanks so far

mark

if I remember correctly there are also a transmitter or receiver placed, on the upper right hand side of the CD casing!! is there a Bright light directly on the BSC or a plasma screen in the same room?

It is in my dining room there is no tv and only a low light and a table lamp.

how would i be able to tell? i cant see anything next to the cd?

thanks

mark

I think you should bring it to a shop, a last thing I can come up with is, did you clean the sensor on the Little pcb ontop of the gear wheel?

Got it booked in on Wednesday

will let you all know what the fault was.

mark

Yeah, please let us all know what they say.  I'm having the same trouble with mine, and I've cleaned everything like you!

Problem sorted!!!!

i took it to my local repair guy Martin Farrence (in Redcar) and he carried out some mod`s and its all working fine.

Somthing to do with the sensors (which he changed) 

and it only cost £65

Hi!

Does someone know, what's the improvement with the sensors? I have a century, which sensor sometimes is very weak and sometimes working well. I recognize that one of the two led's is illuminated dark red and the other is not. Are these led's the same as in remote-controls?
