Re: PIN-code issue after switching off my BeoSound 3200 for a few months

I believe nobody knows (((

The www.avaservices.co.uk answered the following:

It is not possible to give accurate fault diagnosis from 3rd party investigations.

However, we have had a 3200 which had a micro world fault that gave similar symptoms.

The fault may be a corruption between the micro and EEprom.
In this event the unit would need workshop attention to have both replaced.

...

The cost of Micro, EEprom, software and interface for a 3200 is £492.19 + vat and carriage.

I suppose it will be more than £600 ((((((

Well, testmode showed:

BS3200 can't default its settings:

TM31: "TM ERROR"

TM37: "TM ERROR"

TM28: "MEM +++", in other words:

ROM - OK

RAM - OK

EEPROM - OK!

But BS3200 have 1 fresh error:

TM27: "1 IOP 19" - error in the I/O microprocessor: TP (Transport Protocol, Transactional Process?) module HW (HardWare?) error APOS (Action Process Object And Scheme?). Somebody know what does it mean? What's wrong with my BS3200?

Added:

TM01, TM02, TM03, TM04, TM06, TM07: "WRONG TM" for some reason while RADIO works perfectly in slave mode...

That's idea! All the more so this EEPROM can be replaced relatively easyly.
Is it true that I replace original EEPROM by new unprogrammed microchip and BS3200 must work if problem is EEPROM without any programming?

P.S.: What is the second removable microchip in close to EEPROM?

P.P.S.: Where can I find processor?

You can order an EEPROM that is not preprogrammed and install this in your BeoSound. If this does not work you might need a new processor and a preprogrammed EEPROM. But of course it is also possible that something else is wrong, that is something I can't see from here.

Hi Jleo,

This problem seems very similar to my problem; see post:

My beosound 9000 is currently at my dealer for service. I will let you know the outcome.

Hi Dennis,

Thank You very much! I will wait Your updates!

I wouldn't like to spend 400 EUR + 50-100% of Russian B&O service extra charges. I think that I could buy some used operable BS3200 for ~800 EUR with luck of course. I acquainted with a lot of notebook repairers, maybe they can help me with EEPROM?

I think that Blackrix is right, unfortunately ((

I like being right in most cases. This is not one of those...... Let's hope it is solved by just replacing the EEPROM. Keep us updated!

I think JIeo has tried everything possible and the only solution is to contact his local retailer.

Tks, Stoobie! I know all about You wrote. I have done this operation for various time lengths (hours, days) several times - without any success ((

Its red LED only illuminates, but it's required of its red LED to blink as before.

Hi again JIeo,

The user says:

The use
of a PIN code means that if your
music system has been disconnected
from the mains for more than
approximately 30 minutes, it can
only be activated again by switching
it on and keying in your own
personal PIN code via the close-up
operation panel.

If the PIN code is not entered, the music
system automatically switches to standby
after 3 minutes.

If a wrong PIN code is entered, you get
five attempts to key in the code, after
which the system is switched off and
cannot be switched on for 3 hours.

Maybe you have to wait for 3 hours before trying again. Also, it says you must use the numbers on Beosound 3200 (not on the remote control)

I am afraid the only reset is a mains reset.......

Are you having in mind the power cord?

yes, he means unplug it from the wall for a minute or so
