Beolink Converter NL/ML Issue

13 replies

Hi,

I have a Beolink Converter NL/ML that refuses to follow any of the setup commands πŸ™.

The status LED continues to flash green from the moment power is switched on to, going through the setup for factory reset - press setup button, count 5 red blinks, release, press within 3 secs, orange led and then back to blinking green.

btw - the green flashing rate is always same..no change in speed for any operation.

Have tried -

1. With nothing but power connected.

2. Power and network connected - to computer directly.

3. Power and network connected - to network directly. (DHCP)

Read through the manual and couldn't find anything useful.

Any suggestions please ?

Thank you..am glad things worked out for you.

I had given up yesterday and switched of the unit and tried again this morning after 12 hrs..nothing connected ..same thing..the moment you apply power..green light starts blinking...

It seems like a PC with disk crashed..there is power but no software to boot the hardware.

Hope this doesn't turn into a expensive paperweight  :-(

You mentioned about the switch being bad - Was it the setup switch ?

I was referring to my network switch. The converter did not get a good internet connection or IP address appointed.

Did you try a different lan cable?

Got it. Yes, I have tried brand new CAT7 cable (tried to follow all requirements in the installation guide), setup a standalone network..

No luck.

Have written to Beocare..let's see what they come back with.

Thanks Pat..How much does the PCB cost ?

I assume that's the small PCB connected with two ribbon cables ?

There are only 2 pcb’s inside - pcb 04 psu and pcb 01 main board - the one with all of the sockets and connectors. The part itself Β£150 + vat, the faulty module has to be returned to B&O DK, otherwise price of the part will be Β£301 + vat. Labour cost on top of that.

Thanks Pat.

You’re welcome πŸ™‚

I got a quote of 945 USD !! So looks like I have a expensive teacup coaster for now 😁

Would you happen to know the part no. ?

Thanks,
