I think that's a good decision in the circumstances. You may wish to send him a link to this thread so he can see that you have exhausted all known options!

BeoCom 5 + BeoLine 2

The seller agreed to send me a refund for most of the price so I accepted it.
So this Beocom is definetly mine.
What could I do to try to fix it?
Go to a B&O repair shop and pay 100 times the price of the phone?
Try to reset the base using another Beocom 5 unit?
Sacrifice a lamb to some Danish Gods?

If you know someone who has a Beocom 5 (or even a BC6000 Mk2) it could be worth trying to reset the base with their phone. It could be worth buying a second hand BC6000 Mk2 - in my experience they are better phones than the Mk1.
Also worth asking a B&O dealer for a quote - if they still have their Beocom test equipment it shouldn't take long to re-flash the SW of the Phone and/or Base.
Also, reading back through the thread I don't think we actually tried a reset of the Beocom 5 itself. I understand that can also be done using the 9#9#9*INT sequence, as discussed here: /forum/deutsche/beocom-5---reset

I tried to reset the Beocom 5 using 9#9#9*INT
As soon as I do it it shows the following choice on the screen:
------------------
1 Handset 1
2 Handset 2
* All handsets
------------------
No matter what option of the 3 above I choose, as soon as I hit the ok button it shows on the screen:
------------------
Base not found
------------------
May be is actually resetting the phone and then going to the home screen. I don't know.
Anyway I tried again to register the phone with the same result as before.

Hello
Reviving this thread
i have two BeoCom 5 connected to a Beoline 2. All of a sudden, one handset then both couldn’t connect to the beoline anymore. I can’t find a way to reconnect to the Beoline at all, despite numerous attempts etc
Any advice please

Another plea here for any leads on Beoline 2 repair or replacement. We recently lost connectivity of Beocom 5 to Beoline 2 (USA version) following a power outage. This is 2nd Beoline 2 lost similarly. B&O sales was kind enough to send the base and handset to one of the few shops left who offer limited Beocom repair services. However, repair shop indicates a NLA PCB is needed for the Beoline 2.
The Beocom 5 was dearly loved by better half here. We do have a pair of working Beocom 1 (USA) handsets and Beoline 1 PSTN base. Might our Beoline 1, or another PSTN base be capable of pairing both Beocom 1 and Beocom 5 handsets?
The working Beoline 1 base we have was purchased new from B&O in September 2008 and serviced in July 2015.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions,

As Guy mentioned, purchasing second hand equipment resolved my Beocom 5 connectivity issues with the Beoline 2. This solution obviously has a limited and dwindling number of current working units to choose from.
I was fortunate enough to come across an original owner selling 2 Beocom 5, a speakerphone charger, a wall/desk charger and a Beoline 2 PSTN. All arrived in original packaging and like new. As fabulous as this experience was, I am still left with one working Beoline 2 and no ready solution if any issues arise with the Beoline 2.
Both of the non working Beoline 2 units here will be saved. Does anyone know if a service manual for Beoline 2 is accessible with membership?
Thank you

Guy I remember hearing that to mix BC5 with older BCs they need a software reset/upgrade .
Is this true ?
