A capacitor kit is available.<br />Finally, it could be the processor itself in which case I suggest replacing the<br />whole processor/display &quot;sandwich&quot; with one from a scrapped machine.</p> <p>Martin</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/216022.aspxSun, 12 Jul 2009 16:59:07 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:216022rabnod0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/216022.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=216022<p>We&nbsp;have a Beocentre 5000&nbsp;(1980, model 1804) which has recently&nbsp;&#39;frozen&#39; in that&nbsp;the buttons&nbsp;do not respond to give an action or sound, although the power is getting through and the speakers are attached and working (hiss at high volume is the sign).&nbsp;</p> <p>The P&nbsp;LED, loudness&nbsp; and indicator lights&nbsp;come on&nbsp;at start-up and radio lights up briefly, and you can &#39;force&#39; the record player on by pressing turn then stop but it has no sound. It procedes to turn off after &#39;playing&#39;&nbsp;but the red P light and loudness indicator remain on. Otherwise no buttons respond, including&nbsp;Standby.</p> <p>Any experience anyone&nbsp;could&nbsp; give in helping me to&nbsp;get it working again&nbsp;would be very much appreciated.&nbsp;</p> <p>Extra information..</p> <p>&nbsp;Last week I got it to restart by switching off and on but now no luck!</p> <p>The tape recorder heads go on and off when unpugging.</p> <p>Thank you, Rab</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
