If someone would like to do it I will share the things I've reengineered.

Hi fK1G6HBzdnOY,

Well, right now I will not since my BS3 is working nicely so far. But I know it will eventually fail again someday and then, I hope I'll find you!

I guess it will not be as simple as just connecting three wires to the third input and it will need some electronics to select that input right?

But hey, it opens new doors! Thank you!

Hi,
I have found a BeoSound 3, I have desmonted and clean the body, just a problem of non-working touch buttons.
I have open the top plate with a hair-dryer (not difficult with your pictures :-) cleaned and wipes the contact, reclosed, and ... it's working for the buttons
but not for the volume arghhhh...
All is working, but impossible to change the volume :o(
Who has an idea of the problem ?
Regards
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Happy it did work for you too!

Did you clean the two part of the volume track the same way you did the buttons?
If so, maybe carefully look after some broken trace?

Hello, Did you ever resolve how to take the unit apart?

 

My unit sound is not coming out anymore and i have no idea what to do with it now. The antenna goes up and down, the volume up and down seem to work as I hear a clicking sound when I use it, the radio tunes to different stations, A.Mem shows its reading the card but no sound.....I would love to be able to add aux in to it and somehow get it going again..

Hi Omid,

yes of course, we took the device apart. Do you need assistance for doing it on your own?

Regarding your problem of "no sound" you can check if a plugged in headphone works. Maybe this will give you the information which part causes the issue.

What is your knowledge in electronics? Are you able to use a scope?

Yours sincerely

Hi RaMaBo,

I've sent you a mail on 29th of June. Did you've received it?

Sorry for my input, can someone  tell me the resistors value regarding the 5 central keys of the touch panel (<> go ...)?

Thanks
