Beosound 5 after update - nothings works like before

4 replies

Hallo,

after updating my BS/BM 5 I have now the following problem: I can´t start PC with my Beo4/5. The sreen of my BV 9 is black - no menue is shown. No PHOTO or WEB can be startet. When starting n.music or n.radio the screen of my BS5 is also black - no cover, no station is shown.

If I start BS5 directly with n.music or n.radio or directly at the BS5 the display of BS5 shows all correct.

Before updating all runs correct.

BS/BM5 Application 4.02.01.1291, BS5 Firmware: 1.30a; BM5 OS IMAGE 5.00; BM5 OS UPDATE 5.02

Can anybody help - perhaps is there a possibility to downgrade to the old software ?

 

It sounds like your BM5 and BV9 are not recognizing each other.  I would check every connection and the option programming.  If this all look OK, I'd try a masterlink reset (turn off and unplug all ML devices, then plug them back in - plugging in the BV9 last).

I have the update and my system is working fine (but I do not have a BV9).

If you put the BM5 into service mode, you might look around on the harddrive for something that looks like the previous version of the software, but I would do that unless nothing else worked.  It would be very disappointing if B&O released and update that broke basic capabilities as you describe.  I hope it is something wrong (and easy to fix, like a cable connection) in your environment that was not noticed until the BM5 rebooted.

Thank you Stan,

the connecton was o.k. because sometimes there was the MENUE on the sreen of the BV9 but I couldn´t start from there. Now I have done a RECOVERY - all is running fine now - hope for a few time !😕🙂

Help .... now the BM 5 is updating itself  !! The problem is that after recovery the system is running with 5.00 correct. But now it makes a update itself up to 5.02 - and than I have the same problem - nothing works fine.

Can I stop the automatically updating ??
