One sign of this is if the device runs hot. These systems are serviced quite easily if you are electronically trained so I would find a repair shop. The manuals are on site for silver and gold members.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/331449.aspxSun, 17 Jul 2011 06:14:57 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:331449Søren Hammer0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/331449.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=331449<p>Hello and welcome to Beoworld!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Chck the cooling fins of the Beomaster; Are they getting really hot after a few minutes of operation? If they are, the output transistors are running too hot. This can normally be cured by replacing the two potentiometers controlling the &quot;bias&quot;.</p> <p>I have had that and dealt with the problem on my own Beomaster 5500.</p> <p>The &quot;NO CONTACT&quot; problem might be a capacitor issue.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/331442.aspxSun, 17 Jul 2011 00:47:32 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:331442Wantok20090https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/331442.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=331442<p>I am newbie on this site- &nbsp;I have a B&amp;O &nbsp;Link 5500 hi fi with &nbsp; &nbsp;with CD and tape desk.&nbsp;</p> <p>The CD and tape deck work fine. However as of late I am having trouble with radio. &nbsp;It switches itself off for not apparent reason.</p> <p>Also I often - &nbsp;get NO CONTACT on the master panel. &nbsp;I can usually fix it by turning the mains power off and on.</p> <p>The CD and tape deck work find but he radio suffers from the above. I have replaced the batteries in the master panel and the remote/</p> <p>Is there anything else I can check? &nbsp;Some time ago &nbsp;it lost all the pre-sets and I had to re set them. It now seems to retain the pre-sets but the radio is still not reliable - and just shuts down after 5 minutes. &nbsp; I thought it might some overheating or dust?</p> <p>Not sure where to start. &nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
