Bios 1.10 is that the latest version?

OK, thanks for the hint: checked, M/B Bios is 1.10.

Regarding touching the wheel:

It "wakes up" the display of the BS 5, however, it does not yet activate BV 7 or BS 3200 (in my configuration BS 5 is slave).

Then, when you select the source on BS 5, the system including speakers comes alive.

Ok then I am calm, I thought there still was cable fault, in order to find MB Bios info:

Move the navigator arm to MODE and use the wheel O to highlight SETTINGS.

- On BeoSound 5, press: > < > > GO to activate ‘Service Configuration Menu’

In PRODUCT INFO see BM5 MB BIOS

MicTheCat:
The behaviour with BS5 coming alive by only touching the upper dial is still there, is this a new feature, do you guys experience this?

Indeed, BS5 comes alive by touching upper dial. However, I don't recall if it ever was different. How can I check M/B Bios version ?

The issue with no IR reception was as I was guessing myselves the power cable to BS5. It is a little weak so handle with care. I borrowed a cable at my dealer and things works fine now.

After the MB change, the look and feel is more smooth I think so thats nice. But my MB Bios is still 1.10 what is yours?

oh *** whats wrong with this company?

I'm waiting for my BM5 - sould arrive this week; same problem as yours Mic - so should I have to worry?

Nothing wrong in my view.

Bought BM 5 in Feb 2009, replaced Motherboard in May 2009, then once more in mid 2010. Since then, no issues. B&O was quick to react and fix on warranty both times.

Happy New Year !

I also had my main board exchanged a month ago. I don't know what production year it has, but everything works fine.

Besides listening to music, I use the BM5 for watching TV on the web, and I actually feel that there is far less fall outs after I got he new main board. Inamorata fairly certain that the things are not connected, but it feels like it.

Replaced BM5 Mainboad, but strange things happens!?

MicTheCat — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 10:30:54 GMT

Hi and happy new year

I got the 2009 flaw Mainboard resulting in a dead BM5. My dealer have replaced it but I think its the same "old" type Mainboard - should I worry about that!?

I now experience that my Beosond 5 will not react on remote control, and it also comes to live when touching the selector dial (upper). I dismantled the BM5 and found that the mainboad was from 2008 and one screw on the mainboad was nok tightend. I tightend that one and put it all together and it reacted to the remote, but only for short.

Anybody experienced that. I will of couse bring it back to my dealer but I just want to hear your oppinion on this!
