OK check. It is another type but I guess it will work all the same. Will take some time to get to me, can't give an update within a week or so.

Bear in mind that the Commander uses ultrasonic not infrared.......have a listen and see if you can hear the standby relay operating when you first switch the mains power on......I have had issues in the past with a standby relay which although was operating its contacts where not making/breaking. The standby relay allows power to all functions however if your amp has been unused for a long time some of the lamps may have failed despite power being available, so may give a false impression that nothing is getting power...
Okay I checked this. For sure when I power the Beo there is no relay click. I can hear the transformer and there is a red light. But no relay. Hnnnnm.
Ok
Just had a look at my BM6000 units, I have two of them.......both do the same thing. When i power up from the switch at the back I cant actually hear the standby relay energising/clicking......the red lamp is illuminated. Pressing standby puts power to the tuning strength meter and also to the control position indicators, all function switches operate as normal...FM switch lights tuning indicator slider. pressing the standby switch gives an audible click as the relay de energises and all lamps go off except the red standby lamp....pressing standby switch again gives an audible click as the relay energises and power is restored......
dont know if this helps

This information is superbe to clarify expected behavior as it does differ from other beomasters.
Mine doesn't do anything, it just sits there glaring at me with it's beady red eye. It doesn't respond to pressing the standby button.
The only thing I could think of is that literally all lamps are dead. So you wouldn't know if it did spring to life. But that is really far fetched. That said, certain lamps be crucial to the operation, I just don't dare to put a multimeter in there. With my eyesight it's really easy to mess up.
Let's wait and see what the battery for the commander does.

I was able to procure a compatible battery from a Dutch supplier. It should be here much faster, maybe I can test it tomorrow.

OK battery has arrived. Put it in the remote control. Sadly no change. I was able to find someone with experience on the Beo quad. I will let him work on it.
He can work on it around September this year so let the wait begin. Really curious as to what the problem is.
