Hi Guy's                                          BEOSYSTEM 2500/BEOLAB2500

I have just bought this unit, under not working condition, when you turn the power on, the lights comes up and CD about to spins and stops! none of them are functioning.

I was told the CD belt must have snapped, only the cd console both side lights are on, both sides of the active speakers RED lights are on. rest of them are Completely dead!

Even glass doors are force to open and close, sometimes when power on, it is like something running noise behind the cd console! if turn off and on then the noise stops!

No FM stations, No tape runs, none of the control pads are functioning?

If I may wonder, once the CD belts snaps, will it stops other functions too, not even responding with BEO4 controller?

Guy's please help me, I am also an enthusiastic person who is willing to do hands DIY's.

Jeremy

I Guess you're f*cked.

throw this unit out, to much wrong/defective with it.

The cd has no belt, the laser is gone, need replacement

The door mechanisme is shot, very hard to replace

the tunerbourd is gonsky, need replacement

The tapebelt has probebly turned to gue, needs replacement and a very good cleaning

The speaker standby resistors are burnt, the least of your worries..

sorry, no good news for you

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your update, I was completely ripped-off by an old man pretended to be a gentleman.

i did changed the tape belt, but as soon as it powered up, not even pressed the selector, it runs FF, turn off turn on power, it does the same,

The most annoying, there are NO display on the control panel,

No, buttons are light up, no function at all, only a Green and red light stand by.

Is there any way, I could sell only the active speakers separately, 

Please I do appreciate,  your big advice>

Cheers

Nick

Sorry to hear you were ripped off! On the plus side, if the Beolabs are functional they can be used and sold separately :)
