HI !
I got a Beocenter 8500 and it worked fine but it got a bit dusty so i cleaned the CD lens with isopropyl alcohol on cotton tips. After cleaning,i put on CD and it spinned but after a few seconds,the CD door is open. Any idea what i did wrong and how to fix this? Any suggesstion is appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi
Sorry to say, but you might have damaged the lens. Just clean lenses with a dry cotton tip, never use alcoholics or any strong solutions. This can damage the plastic lens beyond repair. Take a look at your lens at a close distance to see if it's still glass clear.

Thank you for all replies.
After taking it to service center,the engineer turned it on and it just worked!! I was trying to play CD on it for days and when in front of engineer it just started working and it has been playing normally since then. Maybe it's scared to be gutted or maybe it was shaken up into place during the trip to the service center. Anyway lucky me that i didn;t have to pay for hefty repair or it might not be repairable at all.
I got away with it this time. Hope everyone else is lucky too.
Hi
Nice that it's working again. Good luck!!!

I collected a Beogram 3500 from Cornwall in a state of disrepair...packed it carefully in the boot of the car and drove back to London. Took it into my flat and plugged it in. All worked fine.
Seems B&O cd players like to be taken out in the car now and again!
