You will need the MCP5000 or 5000 remote for it. A 3rd option is the remote kit that is hard to find. The kit konverts the 5000 IR signals to Beolink 1000/Beo4 etc.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/315863.aspxWed, 23 Feb 2011 05:19:25 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:315863rtg4970https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/315863.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=315863<p>I just got a old Beomaster 5000 to replace the 6500 until I get it fixed. &nbsp;I thought my Beo4 would just work with it but it doesn&#39;t have any effect. &nbsp;Is it compatible with the 5000? &nbsp;I can&#39;t find any info on it.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/314494.aspxMon, 14 Feb 2011 04:41:01 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:314494tournedos0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/314494.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=314494<p>Sorry it wasn&#39;t that easy! <img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /> The cap replacement actually sounds much worse than it is. There&#39;s of course always a small chance that it might be more involved, and seeing that we are in the NA forum, you might have more trouble finding a competent service to fix it for you.</p> <p>Anyway it should be cheaper than a new good condition unit (and they will all need a recap sooner or later). In the end it&#39;s a matter of convenience and timetable - you could of course get another one, have this unit repaired at your leisure and then sell one or the other on, which shouldn&#39;t be a big problem.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/314488.aspxMon, 14 Feb 2011 04:25:58 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:314488rtg4970https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/314488.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=314488<p>No! &nbsp; You were supposed to tell me to push a couple of buttons in a strange combination and ..Voila! it would work. &nbsp; :-) &nbsp;</p> <p>That sounds expensive to repair. &nbsp;It may be easier to replace it with another 6500. &nbsp; Thanks for all the good info., though. &nbsp;I kind of figured it was more than a simple &#39;fix&#39;. &nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/314487.aspxMon, 14 Feb 2011 04:18:42 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:314487tournedos0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/314487.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=314487<p>Well it needs real electrical repair right now, I don&#39;t think any trickery will restore it. </p> <p>From the symptoms, it seems the processor doesn&#39;t start up properly. The rest of the Beomaster does absolutely nothing without it. There are probably a number of capacitors that need replacement, both in the power supply and in the CPU module. When the caps are going out, it often happens that a unit works fine as long as it remains plugged in, but after a power break it doesn&#39;t start any more. The main rectifier can also fail.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/314448.aspxSun, 13 Feb 2011 18:45:27 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:314448rtg4970https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/314448.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=314448<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, now, no lights come on no matter what I do with the remote. &nbsp; Is it fried? &nbsp;Or a matter of the proper reset? &nbsp;Unplugging it does not reset it either.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/314404.aspxSun, 13 Feb 2011 14:48:55 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:314404henrik0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/314404.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=314404Is the standby led lit?
