I've never known a PSU to have an effect on the screen image?  You live and learn...

DVE is by far the most likely issue in my opinion.

It make sense and is a good news: I suppose the technician will change the PSU, then figure out it did'nt fix the problem, then will change the DVE in the same repair day (he had one in is bag at the first visit), and therefore my friend will end with a brand new BV for the many years to come.

Thank you to all who have helped.

 

Please report back here - how the repair was and about the costs, if any.

That’s the VE 1.5 fault caused by overheating microprocessor. Are they B&O engineers?

There is no graphic card and they should know that.

PSU + VE should be tested with multimeter, service manual needed. My bet is the VE, ideally should be ordered pre-programmed for that serial number. The old part must be returned to B&O. Depends on the serial number of the tv, the part itself would cost between £450-850. Labour on top.

Another Mk1 BV11 40 owner here. The TV has worked perfectly, but in the past month we have had occasional completely black screens of half to one second duration during broadcast reception.

The TV software is up to date. The problem is only of minor annoyance at the moment, but if the black screen intervals become more frequent could this indicate the start of a more serious problem? Could this be another video engine issue?

Update,

The technician came and changed the "Motherboard" (under warranty).

Looks like the TV is up and running again, but I dont know more.

I'll try to have some more details.
