Beosound 9000 no power, red standby led not lit, like DEAD!

13 replies

Dear all B&O experts, I have a Beosound 9000 bought in Year 2007 from B&O Singapore, very lightly used but found no power, red led not lit, this morning. I have checked forums, tried the steps to re-programme with Beo 4 remote, doesn't work. Tried a tread suggestion to power down, press standby bottom for 10 seconds, then wait for 1 minutes, then power on with standby button pressed for 5 seconds, also doesn't work. 

Singapore has imposed a 'Circuit Breaker' since 7th April 2020, quite similar to a 'partial lockdown' except we are still able to got out for essential services. B&O Service being non-essential is not opened due to current COVID-19 situations. Can any kind souls having experience of similar problem help me out?

Thank you in advance! Stay home, stay safe, stay healthy.

Hi Dan33a,

Forgive my ignorance, but do you a fuse in Singaporean mains plugs?

If you’re not even getting a red stand-by light, then I would check that fuse first, then the power socket to which it is connected. Try plugging a lamp into the same socket.

Hi Lawrence.

Good day! Singapore is using UK plug. However, the original 'Figure-8' power cord comes with my Beosound 9000 is a EU plug (2 round pin). I have tested on a known working power cord and to a different wall socket, apparently not the power cord or wall socket. 

I am not getting the red led standby-light like before. no fuse in this case, and wall socket is working.

Thank you for your reply. Let me know whenever you have any clue or suggestions. Best regards.

So sorry, Dan33a, if the cord and socket both work, and you have no stand-by light, then something is wrong inside your BS9000.

Unless you’re technically adept, I would take it to a trusted B&O repairer.

Or maybe someone more knowledgeable on the forum will chime in.

Good luck.

Lawrence

Thank you Lawrence. Anyone on this forum who has similar experience please help out.

Sounds exactly like the issue I just had on mine. This is 99% a dead power supply, and if you dont have experience in soldering/fault finding and so on, this is not something you can fix your self.

I have managed to get mine up and running, but not without problems, and even though I think myself as "rather good" at soldering and fault finding, this is not something I could have done without help, and I also managed to lift a few traces on the PCB, even though I was very careful.

I know it sounds negative, but this is probably your problem. A missing red std.by light, is a dead power supply, not any configuration or anything else.

Hi dan33a,

trying to fix your BS9000 you have to have the service manual first.
There on page 5.61 there is an error tree you have to follow:

Please note 2 things
if you don't have speakers you have to connect  pins 2&4 with 100K resistor ( the pins picture in service manual is from soldering side )
as one of the reasons for led not lighting is the secondary keyboard - please check it and clean connectors with alkohol

 

Thank you Weebyx, I guess I shall have to wait for B&O Service to re-open, after CV-19 'circuit breaker' imposed here in Singapore. In the meantime any suggestion and help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for this diagram, I shall remove my Left and Right Beosound 9 speakers connectors and clean them with alcohol, and reconnect back to check again.
