Andy,

Actually, I still do have a couple of Mark I BeoCom 6000 front panels and key pads available for purchase, but if you plan to replace one, I suggest you go the whole way and upgrade it to a Mark II for not much more cost.

Anybody??

"Hello,

just had another thought on the BL5000 2-way problem. When I press the STATUS button on the BL5000 it correctly gives the source information even though I haven't used it to select the source! Does this mean it IS receiving some 2-way comms? I am slightly confused! Any suggestions why it will do this but all other 2-way comms brings "no contact"??

Simon "

Andy,

The front panel is available and for the Mark II version the part number is 3455019 and should cost around £15

This is exactly what I mean though I wouldn't describe the buttons as rubber, more plastic.
A common fault on Beocom 6000 is the dot button failing. I know it is probably the membrane under the keys but you can't get to it without cutting glued joints and re supergluing.
£16 sounds a bit good, Was that from a dealer?
BTW, does anybody know if the aerial is encompassed within the keypad?

Andy,

do you mean the plastic case and rubber keys for the BC6000 or do you mean the PCB behind the case? I recently updated my BC6000 with a new case and rubber keys for about ~~£25.00~~ £16.00 including fitting!

Simon

Keith, On a separate issue, Do you know if the front panel with the keyboard is available? (Beocom 6000)
If so, would you have a price and a part number?

thanks for clarifying that Keith!!

Simon,

You are correct about reading that the Mark II BeoCom 6000 has a different charging voltage, but in fact that statement was incorrect.

The charging voltage for both Mark I and Mark II is 5.5 volts. After the modification is completed you will ONLY be able to put your upgraded Mark I BeoCom handset in a Mark I charger.

When you receive your kit it will contain the following items:-

Ø A new front cover which is exactly the same as the Mark II cover (P/N 3455033) except it has the two round Mark I power connectors at the bottom and does NOT have a socket for the Earsat headphones.

Ø One black plastic mult-conductive feed for connections from front panel to circuit board

Ø One white plastic mult-conductive feed for connections from front panel to circuit board

Ø One replacement main PCB (P/N 8095162)

Ø One replacement display to allow for lowercase characters

After conversion the phone will work 100% the same as a Mark II phone EXCEPT you can only use it with a Mark I charger and there is no socket for an Earsat headphone

Keith,

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the mark2 BC6000 has a different charging voltage. Will this effect my BC using the new board? I will still be using the original charger!

What other changes will using this board make in operating the BC?

Many thanks,

Simon

Keith,

I will order the board from B&O on Monday and will await your instructions! I appriciate your time on this matter, it has been driving me bananas

Simon,

You will NOT need a soldering iron because all the components are surface mounted.

The problem you have is caused by a fault on the board in the phone, however the Mark I boards are no longer available, but you can purchase a kit for about £40 which will fix your problem and also make your Mark I phone into a Mark II phone except you will not have the headset socket.

If you are happy to spend about £40 on this kit which is not a formal upgrade kit, then you should order it from your B&O dealer using part number 3455103

I will subsequently post detailed instructions on the conversion process as no instructions are provided with the kit.

Let me know if you wish to proceed
