B&O high: mounting my brand new BS9000 and hearng it through the Penta's - sheer joy, what a beautiful stereo

B&O  low: the very same BS9000 falling off the wall 2 weeks later, detroying a small table on the way down, a distance of 1.3m - oh no!

B&O high: finding out the BS9000 was undamaged - phew!

undamaged!!😉

BS9000 falling from the wall ??? Undamaged?? How high did you hang the system?

Sounds like you glued it to the wall :-)

@ puncher: Great movie & thanks :-)

Wow - a BS9000 falling off the wall! To be fair, B&O stuff can be pretty fiddly to wall-mount - I remember trying to fit my answerphone to the wall once, that involved a few highs and lows...

But the fact that your BS9000 remained intact - what a result!

and yeah - love the clockwork orange avatar Stephan!

I hadn't clipped it on properly and turned the radio on via the BS9000 as I couldn't find the remote, it must have been enough to dislodge it. It feel straight down, smashed the top off a coffee table and then fell forward on to a cushion - very fortunate! The front was undamaged and the edge that hit the floor left a long thin impression about 15mm deep in the wooden floor. I made a panicked call to B&O and they came out that afternoon and gave it the all clear, which was a relief as explaning it to the insurance company would have been embarrasing!

I'd instantly wet myself if I'd see my BS9000 falling off the stand, no joke :-)

While wiring my new 7-40 I had to unhang the 2 lower screws from the stand and was very nervous while doing that (sitting on the floor, the BS9000 above me) ...

You can thank your coffee table for stopping the fall a little bit. There was a BS9000 on ebay once with some falling damage and although the machine feals very sturdy it looked like a truck drove over it.

Then, this morning I woke up, turned on my Serenata and a whole line of pixels has gone white and no matter what I do (shut phone off, take out battery etc) remains the same. Has put me in a foul mood. Don't know what to do about it. Now I'm at work feeling totally cheesed off. A B&O low.

Thomas

Hmm....

This sounds like yet another indemic fault with a recent B&O product. I've seen a fair few Serenata's for sale on ebay recently with exactly this problem.

Chris.

High: I'd like to say turning my Avant on for the first time, but I remember so fondly the first time I saw B&o as a kid and the awe that has stayed with me ever since!

Low: Not too many, and I can't count non self-inflicted, so... it would have to be the time that I had loosened the lower glass panel to my BC9300 for servicing. Yep, you guessed it: I forgot and as I rotated the upper case assembly to the vertical, down it went smashing into bits! 😳🙁

Graham. Check the fuse in the plug socket first. Simple solutions are often overlooked!
PS. where about in Liverpool do you live?

Hi Andy,

The plug socket seems OK and the plug/ transformer still gets quite warm, so I suspect that it's an internal dock fault. I've got a travel charger that I should be able to try out later today (it's gone travelling to the Wirral!) Just hoping that its not the phone itself. (The phone still recognises that it's plugged into the dock because the screen image still turns over.)

Graham

Apologies if this is starting to look like a phone maintenance thread!

Andy, the good news is that my Serene  will charge from the travel charger so it looks as though the dock is faulty. So as the phone itself is OK, my 'Low' is not quite as low as it was this morning!

Graham

My B&O high :  finally receiveing my BS9000 and beolab8000's.... they sounded sooooo perfect back then...

My B&O low : loosing them only months later in a divorce ....Needless to say B&O left a bitter taste and it took me a couple of years (8) for me to warm up to it again. Now I'm just a (though penniless) B&O addict like the rest of you guys .....😂
