The fault seems to be either with the receiver on the 7000 or the emitter on the 5500. Do you have a link system? Does the 7000 work in a link room? If it does, the 5500 has a fault. If not, the 7000 receivers need attention. Tricky job! I believe one of our members, ridax, has experience in fixing these. There used to be a dedicated unit at Struer who made and fixed these but I think it no longer is in operation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>BEOLINK 7000 STOPPED RESPONDING, ANY HELP &amp; INPUT APPRICIATED</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/56985.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 20 Oct 2007 17:14:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:56985</guid><dc:creator>AAVALENTA</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/56985.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=56985</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I HAVE HAS BEOLINK 7000 FOR MANY MANY YEARS.
