That would explain it - thanks Peter. I guess the fix you refer to is for the hum (which I don't have) not the unwired display pin?

They will not display when attached to a PC2 - the display pin is not wired. Early PC2s also have issues with hum as the earth is not connected - there is a fix for this.

My beolab 4500s don't display connected to my PC2 (masterlinked to bs3200) but do when connected directly to the bs3200 - ?they need to be connected directly to an audiomaster to function - have you tried connecting directly to your bs3000 before you start dismantling them?

hi jasper,

ive just tryed your suggestion without success, although i thought it could be either a videomaster or audiomaster, you may be right about it not recognizing the pc2 (i hope not), i think joeyboygolf is right about the mk2 /mk3 powerlink cables being my issue. ill order some today

Most of the ones that I've had have fallen off!! A little force should do the job.

The Mk II are a little thicker than the Mk III which were developed to overcome hummmmm problems with some of the newer speakers such as BL3 and BL5 which of course do not have displays.

I'll look out for a message, if I can find out where to look in this new place were in!!

joeyboygolf:

You need Mk II fully wired cables to get the displays working. I found this out recently when I let one of my Mk II's go with a pair of BL5000's I sold recently.
My dealer had only got Mk III available as replacement. That'll do I thought. But alas, no display. Replaced with a Mk II the following week and no problem with the displays. Now I know the Mk III cable is supposed to be fully wired but I'm afraid it just don't work!!!
I have dead ringer copies of the B&O wall brackets available if you require. Contact me if you are interested.

thanks for the info, i just bought the mk3 specially, oh well, at least its not the speakers,

do the mk2 look any different to the mk3?

p.s ill send you a message re: the brackets

cheers jay

Afraid parts are now impossible to obtain - been in contact with B&O personally in the last few weeks.
hi peter,
thanks for the bad news[:'(] thought that may be the case
ill keep my eyes peeled for some old retired ones hopefully only good for spares , what bits are you after?

Actually it was for Darren. His 5000s were dented when he lent then to a dealer for a speaker demo. Not a happy bunny at all and not surprising as his were truly mint.
