Just to let you know I have the same problem.  I had not used my 9000 for about 3 years.  CD 5 doesn't play at all and the others play when they feel like it.   The system is quite noisy as well.  I spoke to the service agent.  He explained that the lasers have a life of anywhere between 3 and 5 years and not using the system has the same wear and tear as using the system.

Is this really true, what a piece of sh*t if that's so... I have not got that impression of the Beosound 9000 though...

Right, the laser that waits in stock for you, is wearing and tearing as we speak... 

so..

one more time ..plase let me know if anyone solve problem with aftermarket CDM  on Ebay?

I know B&O is a complex device but it is not NASA device.

One more time........it can't be done on the cheap. Your only option is to buy a kit specific to your 9000's serial number direct from B&O service.

If you don't want to pay you should not have bought a BS9000 as they have had this problem since day one.

Sorry to be so blunt.

Completely untrue and completely unnecessary as a reply to a legitimate inquiry!

I feel for the newcomers to this forum. BeoWorld is one of the most consistantly unfriendly of all of the blogs that I vist.

Lee and moderators please take note....

I find that BeoWorld is one of the most helpful and friendly places on the Internet to visit, on many occasions overly friendly.

Not all of us do this "best friend" approach and believe that if you have something to say then say it and have done with it.

We are, however, all entitled to our opinion, mine is based on the fact that it is not only the laser that fails and the way to guarantee a successful repair is to buy the correct kit from B&O.

My "one more time" post was, in fact, in answer to a post that started the same way. I hadn't realised that I had to explain myself.

Really joeyboygolf? Well as someone who's life experiences have equipped him to comment on such things as unnecessarily abrasive treatment with a good deal of authority, I can pretty much sum that up by saying that no matter how many good deeds one does, all it takes is one bad deed to negate them and make it all for not.

I visit many different blog forums on a regular basis and have a very clear and defined means against which to compare. And I can tell you that there is far too much infighting among regular contributers here on BeoWorld and a very snarky response attitude by some on here toward newbies who are daring to reach out for help only to be given the "tough love" response.

I visit BMW E46 sites to learn how to repair my car, welding sites to learn how to weld, various electronics and mechanic sites to enhance my skills in just about anything and everything. And guess what? I have never read or received a grain of hostile and insensitive drivel that I have read directed to blog participants here on BeoWorld. I have been spared but am always a bit on edge whenever I contribute to this forum understanding that for every paragraph I dare to write that I too may be on the receiving end of some member's "bad day".

Hi:

I have successfully repaired my BeoSound 9000 Mk II with an eBay sourced CDM12.4 laser at about $15.00 USD. I never wrote a complete DIY about it but some of the detail was presented in my BeoSound 9000 MK III / VAM1250 focused blog post:

/forum/general-discussion-and-questions/beosound-9000-mk-iii-laser-failure---cracked-solder-joints-laser-diode-crown

I'm a bit short o............solder contact flows. When it is time to use them, I will simply re-flow the critical joints and wish for the best.

One of the best and most informative posts I've read here. Clear, Objective and informative. Too many posts are biased in a direction that makes them unreliable.

Keep up the good work!
