Beosound Ouverture - glass door issue

48 replies

Hi,

 

I've just bought second hand B&O Ouverture and it seems that during transportation, something happened to the cables opening the glass doors. I found service manual but to be honest it is not clear how to repair it or how complicated it is.

I'm tempted to do it by myself instead of taking it to repair centre, where reparation cost probably will be equal to its value.

Maybe someone has got experience with putting wires/cables in order and can guide me through the reparation process?

Thank you for your help in advance!

God job Max, I may come back to you shortly, my doors are squiking, making funny sounds, will have to open to check and lubricate.

And thank you for the update.

Hi Max and Season's Greetings !

I have an Ouverture and during the last 2 weeks the doors do not close as fast as before. When they start to close they stop almost half way throught and then they close very slowly. Sometimes do not close all the way as well. Note that the ouverture remained always in the same location. (Not damaged during transport). Please advice. Spiros. 

Welcome.

 

I was sure it was the open-close-open-close by a ghost phenomenon. So did a cable jump loose or?

Hi, i have an Beocenter 2500 that the doors wont close the entire way, they open fine but when to close they go about 30% and then stop.

Any idea how I fix this?

I tried to open the entire beocenter but did not succed

Change the belt.

Ok but how do i get the Beocenter open, i removed the screws but couldent get it open anyway.

Opening isn't easy task and requires some patience. Just unscrew all screws and then carefully take front panels and than back cover. You will find some instructions on youtube and on the forum. There could be problem with wire, rolls or sliding mechanism. In order to diagnose you need to disassemble your unit and observe how it works and what is the reason it stops.

Good luck!

I can show you how to open the rear cover and to rewire the glass door the easy way. Then I have to make lots of pictures :-) First start to remove the glass door and then the left and right black covers. You need to use some force but gentle or else some plastic clips wil break.
