Hello Beoworld,

 

I have recently acquired a beosystem 5000. The beomaster appears to be working fine, in that all the buttons operate as they should, all channels are clear and sound great, and all the input sources are fine. However, the MCP will not connect. If I push any button on the MCP it delays a second or two and then says "no transmission" illuminated in red. Has anyone else encountered this? Can it be fixed?

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank-you!

 

This is definitely a start. I was able to capture the MCP IR's flashing on either corner of the unit, but nothing from the beomaster. I can surmise this to mean the MCP is functional, whilst the beomaster likely requires servicing or part replacement. Possibly a new IR eye?

That sounds like the next step. It could be as simple as a bad solder joint.

Thanks for the capacitor tip, this saved my Beosystem 5000!
