Spoke to the closest B&O agent, and as you predicted, he told me that it would likely be uneconomical to repair, so I might try and find Nobby and have a word with him. Thanks for the suggestion. Peter

Yes, this is the way I'm thinking now...all the easy/obvious possibilities exhausted. I'm in Salisbury, and I gather there is a B&O dealer in Wimborne, not too far away, so I will probably run it down to him. Regards and thanks for the input Peter

Sadly my equipment extends to a multimeter and soldering irons, and no schematic. What you say about the cpu, rings a bell. Many many years ago, a new fangled microwave I had had for a couple of years just died. We took it to a repair man and he said it was the cpu....too expensive to replace, so he bypassed it, and the machine ran fine on basic function

Hi, and thankyou for your suggestion. When you say resoldering.....you mean generally, board by board, or just the cpu? If the latter, where does it live, and am I likely to do it any harm by heating it up? Regards Peter

Well, I removed and resoldered the power PCB and also the mains input/fuse PCB, but sadly, there is no change. I begin to feel that it is either a solder problem....and what a lot of soldering there is in a 9000, or maybe a dud capacitor or something...I'll keep plugging away at it!

Hi, and thanks for the input I will pull that board out and go over it in the next day or two I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers Peter [quote user="Blackrix"] Try to resolder the power PCB, which is located behind the CD mechanism. I have had a BeoCenter 9500 in repair with the same problem, after resoldering this PCB it came back to

Hi, my beloved Beocenter 9000 suddenly died on me. It is a beautiful piece of kit, which I will probably keep for it's aesthetic value alone..but naturally, I would prefer that it worked, so I wonder, does anyone out there have any idea what might cause an abrupt and total failure like this? I came to use it one day, and found the screens were dead
