Welcome to Beoworld !  🤒

The first things to check would be the belt drive and strings.

Thanks, i will try and have a look at that later, i would of just done that first thing, but i wasnt sure if it was the best thing.

Be careful when you open the BC; it's not the easiest thing!

Attached is a photo of the insides. (The front has a hinge and the top opens like this when some screws are removed; instructions are on the bottom of the BC).

On the top-left corner, where the blue wires go, is the cd-covers driver motor. There is a small (almost visible, from the bottom of the motor to the right) belt that turns the big vertical axel (and there go some white strings that slide the actual cover). By checking the belt and trying to turn the axel by hand you should be able to pinpoint where the trouble is. Of course there is the cassette cover mech where you can compare how it should work (or "borrow" the belt for the cd cover... :)

Hi toblerone,

I recently restrung the sliding door mechanism on the cassette side of my Beocenter 9000. When I recieved it, the white strings for the cassette door had been removed. The easy part was opening up the cabinet! Fortunately the CD door strings were intact so I could use them as a guide. Even so, it took my dad and I about 4 or 5 hours to figure out the proper sequence and successfully reattach them. If the drivebelt for the door is the probelm, you've gotten off easy! If your probelm is the strings, I can give you advice to help simplify the procedure.

Good luck.

Aaron

Anyone has the reference for the belts or know where to find them?

Thanks
