Beomaster 5 repair

28 replies

I’m holding onto the old motherboard just in case.

The radio stations need one or two days 2 pop up after a software rebuild.

Really? Well that’s something to look forward to.  I suspect though it won’t because it says that the unit isn’t registered at the bottom of the n.radio screen.

The software rebuild has made the beomaster stable now though. 

Oops - looks like I managed to mix up the BIOS chips - changing the chips DOES work!

If I remember well, you have to reprogram the BIOS with the Epia tool, so then you will have the B&O startup logo when booting.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

I didn’t need to do that, the logo came up straight away.

Hi, is of these boards still available? I might need one as my BM stopped working. Only blinking red light :-(

Yes, I still have some of the 1500 boards available. As I have 4 beomaster 5s, I couldn’t take the risk! Are you able to handle the SPDIF connector removal and connection?
