The Beomaster was bought by a person who refurbishes all his B&amp;O himself. I have managed to let him have a look at the Beomaster.</p> <p>-S&oslash;ren</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/290408.aspxMon, 16 Aug 2010 04:24:56 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:290408henrik0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/290408.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=42&PostID=290408Another point of failure is the speaker switches. Ok, that&#39;s probably not your problem in this case, but it&#39;s still worth mentioning in bm8000 threads as I have had that problem on all of my three 8000s.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/290372.aspxSun, 15 Aug 2010 17:22:20 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:290372Premiumverum0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/290372.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=42&PostID=290372<p>Could be a bad solder joint I think.
