Hi, For the 7-32 you remove the back plastic cover. It gives access to the screws securing the glass panel. Now the glass can be liftet off. Removing the LCD panel is no rocket science. Just a few screws holding it in place.

Find the service manual for the 7-55 to see how it works for that TV.

That said, I only did this change because the panel was worn out, and the MK1 technology doesn't have multiple HDMI sockets. It was simply end of life. I had two options. Finding a second hand (and quite rare) 7-32 with HDMI.... Or doing the upgrade as described above. I would not consider such a change if I had a 7-55 in working order....

@Matador. Good question...

I expected that I had to make significant changes to the picture settings due to the contrast screen. But actually that was not the case.

I use a standard/neutral setting - and black is black.

EDIT: On the last picture I posted above I had changed backlight to +30%. But it turned out it wasn't needed at all. So now - with neutral settings - black is black.

Thank you @Pepps

Unfortunately the Lintronic company is closed.

I got several Lintronic 5.1 and 6.1 in my home. I got the latest configuration software before Michael closed his company. And even after closing his company he has been kind to provide a bit of support.

If you get a second hand Lintronic check with Michael if he will allow you to buy a licenced version of the 'configurator' .... It's a great product. I also use it in my 'main room'... Read more here

@ravsted This is glorious! Thank you so much for sharing - I'm inspired to do something similar with my old BV6. The Lintronic world is a whole new thing but sounds like something which could help in my main room also. Thanks for sharing this!

Fascinating - what a great conversion.   Always like the BV7 design, and that is a great way to extend the life of the stand/speakers.

If anyone (Northern UK) wants a FOC Beovision 5 to do a similar refurb project, let me know.

It is fully working, non HDMI versoin and is now surplus to requirements.   Have tried to give it away here and elsewhere, with no luck.

It works perfectly well via a scart - hdmi adaptor, if anyone just wants a gfreat sounding design classic - maybe for a games room or smiliar.

I'm so reluctant to scrap it, but it is now on very borrowed time.

Collection only, but will happily include the HDMI adaptor and a working Beo4.

Hi,

I have the same version, including motorized floorstand in the basement, looking to do something similar. Does this also remove the compatibility with beo4 and the motorized floorstand?

It's a few years later than this but I've just done the same to 7-55, inspired by this post. Thank you!
