Good morning!

Did you have a look as Lausvi's 21 Sep post here: 

Hi, thanks for the quick response!

Yes I saw the various threads on this, including one in German which alas my rusty German wasn't good enough to translate, but I think he was in a similar boat. The diagram was useful tho'.

I've not done any phone screens although my son has on an iphone 7 so maybe I should ask him!

And no, I'll leave the trumpet alone. The flute is in excellent condition and I don't want to spoil/damage it. How does one get silver membership? It would be useful to look at the instructions, if nothing else.

Thanks and regards

David

Go to the 'Main Site' via link at the top of the page.  Then look top right, and the second link below the LOGOUT button will take you to Upgrade/Renew Membership.

You have to pay a small fee, but it's well worth it! 🙂

(I meant to add:  iPhone 7 is relatively straightforward - if he really wants a challenge try a 4 or 4s!) 

Ok that's really helpful - many thanks.

Hi David,

I had the same problem - my beotime suddenly became silent.

I bought the silver membership, downloaded the repair manual and followed the instructions from Lausvi in this forum.

Although I´m repairing things since decades, THIS one was really tricky. The clarity of the repair maual is not always impressive, but finally I managed to disassemble the whole clock. And it seems to be a common problem, that the wire which connects the little speaker breaks due to repeated strain over the years.

Sometimes I was at the verge of giving up and looked for institutions that repair b&o devices. On facebook I found a b&o-store in Basel, Switzerland that wrote, that they repaired a beotime for a customer:

This would have been my next solution, but at the moment it seems as I could manage to repair the beotime by myself.

Good luck,

Daniel

Hi Daniel, and thanks for your encouraging response. I've tried so many places in the UK and it's mostly been met with a shaking of heads or none at all! But, I suspected that among our European friends there would be dealers who could tackle this known issue!

I will drop the Swiss dealer a line and see.

I did think about trying to tackle it myself, but I reckon it's beyond my 'ken' (knowledge).

Meanwhile, thanks for your response - and very best wishes of the season.

Hi, all! Has anyone presented an audio file of the Beotime in action? Curious what it sounds like!
