Factory reset on BV 10-40

[stotty1111]

My son very kindly preesed the factory reset default  over the weekend, I was not happy and would have happily pushed him off a nearby coastal cliff!!!

So, it was a ‘ball acher’ reloading all the tv channels etc  —  I only use french TNT and Free to air sat transmissions being a tight northener originally.

Ok, it took time, but on looking at the tv transmissions I was amazed to see that the reset had resulted in a much better picture and sound.

I have always assumed that the set was on factory default but now I suspect in its past someone has been playing around with the settings in the hidden engineering section menus.

I think I am only the second owner of said tv but am now a very happy ‘bunny’ bearing in mind the cost to me of said unit.

I am now inspired to get my BC2 rebuilt and recommissioned.

Sorry for my ramblings!

Tony

Great outcome of what looked like an irritating situation 😀

If you have issues with the CD not playing it can be due the clamper not closing entirely. This can be because of the belt driving the clamper being to loose. I had a thread about it here   https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beocenter-2-cd-tray-belt/

Also if the black rubber coating on the bottom of the unit is sticky there is some advice to remove it in this thread https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beocenter-2-issue/#post-55843

Thanks for the IPA useage link, I’ll give it a go! I suppose it should work on a BS4 body as well!

And the belt replacements, yes, you gave me some leads late last year when I did them, I have not rebuilt the unit as yet, but hopefully, later today or tomorrow, I have been busy building a model of a Pilot boat based at Hartlepool, it is radio controlled and is for steering competition use here in France!

It will work there too. I had a BS4 for a short while and tried to clean the sticky stuff of that too. One thing I noticed though is that on the front plate you can rub to a level where it will still have a smooth finish, but if you rub to much you get to a surface that is more plastic like. In any case try a spot that will be less visible to start with.

and the back with the ribs will be a nightmare to clean.

Oh yes I remember about the belt. hopefully it will solve the issue.

Also good luck with your boat model. Long time since I have seen a remote controlled boat. I guess drones are a morf popular choice arround here
