Beosystem 3 USB-Power?

6 replies

Hi,

I've installed a superb Sennheiser BT-T100 Bluetooth transmitter and want to install one also to a Beosystem 3. The Beosystem 3 has an USB Socket BUT how can it be activated?

I only need it for powering the Sennheister Bluetooth transmitter but there's no power on the USB-Socket.
I've even plugged in a simple low current USB Led light for testing which doesn't light up either. Is there a special trick to activate the USB socket?

nobody knows?

I haven't got a clue whether it is actually powered - the manual says that it's for service use.

However, you could try one of these:

Thank you for the link. I ordered the USB adapter but it doesn't help.


I know that the USB port is for service use but I'm searching for a way to activate when I want its +5V service for my Bluetooth transmitter. 😕

Would it be possible to use the trigger from a powerlink output?

That's a shame, but at least the adapter will be useful if plugging your phone into dubious charging points 🙂
