Beosound Ouverture - glass door issue

48 replies

:-((

Where is the small switch and the motor pulley? And the big white wheel?  when I take the glass pannels off, it works normally. Thanks!

Had to register to say thanks to link  and link .. Just had the same problem with my 2500, Leslie's fix worked a treat :)

This has left me very disappointed with B&O here in Malaysia though... They quoted me RM 2200 to fix it (over $500 US) Shame on them !!

Hello Max and Hello to Warsaw (I'm born there long time ago),

I have an old but working B&O Overture and took the glass doors apart to clean them. When I install them again, they didn't open or close. What I made wrong and how I can fix it. An advise is highly appreciate.

My Email is: LRomanowiczdr@centurylink.net

Thanks and regards from Florida.

Hi Leo,

sorry for comming back so late. Could you please describe the problem in details? Can you hear the motor is working or the doors stuck somwhere? It might be not the mechanical problem but IR sensor/move sensor.

Best regards form Warsaw,

Max

I am new to this forum and I‘ve found this topic via google search. I have exactly the same problem. I‘ve managed to take off the glass doors and the two black covers with the help of this forum and youtube. Now it seems that the wire which moves the doors is to loose. There is a section in the service manual which describes the adjustment of the wires but I can‘t understand the steps. Could somebody help me to perform the steps? Do you need a photo? Thank you very much in advance!

Max,

 

Abusing of your offering, can you tell me how I must attached the two sides of the cable to the white wheels or wherever?

I have not been able to find any single picture of where the small balls goes!

 

Thanks so  much 

Hi Alvar and Bienvenido en Beoworld,

Below is the picture of the service manual giving the right path of the cable thought the different pulleys.

The little balls goes into the hole in the mail pulley and act as a stop to secure the cable into the main pulley.
Please see picture in page one of this topic for reference. 

Two things to notice though:
- the wire can be quite difficult to put and keep in place on the corner pulleys while trying to fit them back.
I succeed in it so it's possible but it's quite long and need a lot of fiddling.

- There's a "reverse loop" trick to fix the wire to the main pulley. I'm sorry i can't say much more as i did it a long time ago.
You will find it by carefully observing the grooves on the pulley. I remember i spend a lot of time to secure the cable and when i found the trick it was just like - put the ball in the hole, just turn the pulley and "ya esta", the wire just jump to it's position.

Again, I'm sorry for being unable to give you more details, but all this to tell you it's complicated but still possible.

You'll also need to stick the metal hooks to the glass doors. You'll need two component epoxy glue. Trying to glue the hooks in a way they do not misaligned the doors will be the tricky part. You'll find plenty of information by searching the forum.

Hope this help and good luck with it.
