When I first programmed my brand new Beo5 with the previous software/firmware (1.40a), I had a similar battery drain problem.  Every time I reprogrammed it and tested, I would get an empty battery.

That's very strange Stan, I've NEVER experienced this sudden battery drain problem with 1.40a firmware during some months of daily use and hundreds of software downloads; it's only now with the new 1.41a firmware that I met this problem: beo5 complete blocking screen + sudden battery draining, when clicking in "mixed" macro keys;

in addition, those problematic "mixed" macros are both: brand new ones created from scratch or imported from the previous version; all of them fails everytime.

exact the same problem on my beo5!!! BeoCT 3.0.0.2 - 1.41a

Yes, I saw that, but my experience was a little more confusing (at least to me).  It would show fully charged, then press a button, and it would show battery flat and turn off.  I'd stick it on the charger again and in a few minutes, it would show fully charged.  I would then re-program and the behavior would repeat.  Sitting in charger overnight seemed to fix it...  Hence, my comment that some type of recalibration was taking place.

okay, i have no problem with the battery indicator! the only problem i have ist with the mixed macros (b&o and for example epson beamer ir commands in one macro) 

result: complete blocking the beo5 screen till the battery ist empty!!!

firmware 1.41a configuration tool 3.0.0.2

Hello beoandy,

That's exactly my problem too !!! so definitely we are both in the same situation, using this new "software-firmware" combi.

The only solution I've found until now is: delete all the non-B&O commands inside all "mixed" macros 🙁

remember that all those non-B&O commands works very well in stand alone "pure non-B&O" keys though.

Best regards.

Anyone tried to install the latest version on Windows 7? The previous version is a no-go. The application installs correctly but Win7 can't load the driver for the Beo5 when it's connected.

I have the same problem when I use in macros commands generated in XML Generator. If macros consist of CT's third party commands like Merten 2010 F1 F2 all work great.

You're absolutely right Maksim, I must clarify this;

When I talk about the problems caused by "non-B&O" commands in mixed macros,  I only talk about the third party commands created with the "Beo5 3rd Party XML Generator 1.1.0.0" software, NOT about the third party commands provided inside the "Beo5 Configuration Tool 3.00" itself.

Regards.

Dear Colleague,

Who can help to solve this problem?

Hello Keith,

Can you please tell me what error this is and what can I do about this.

Configuration tool 3.0.02 and udate 1.41a :

The beo5 works perfect and a can't see any faults.

Greetings Frank
