Does anyone have any experience with cleaning under the round plastic cover on the front? I have slight liquid marks that have crept under the edges after an orange juice was spilt on it (OH I LOVE MY 3YR OLD DAUGHTER SO MUCH 😎).Probably a similar task: has anyone tried replacing the labelling underneath this plastic disc (if that's what it is). Could make it even more handy as a home automation room remote??

Cleaning/labelling the Essence Remote

I got a dent in the wheel, and I tried to remove the wheel. Seems impossible to disasemble the unit :(
Lesson: if your kid spills a drink on you essence remote and there's a little bit of liquid left under the front plastic for 4 months that annoys you everytime you see the (still functional) unit. Don't use a hair dryer too long on it to finally get rid. It ends up with the plastic warping and the 'label layer' part under the plastic wrinkling up a bit. Whoops! 😳Made me wonder if it is possible to take the front off though and replace the 'label layer' with bespoke labels. Oh and also - I replaced it with the wall version with the Bang & Olufsen logo in the middle (by mistake I'm getting the metal tabletop stand back). This is a new model with the IR+BT modes on. I remember reading somewhere on here that people thought they didn't make the wall version anymore. Seems they do. If anyone is interested!
Is there a new updated mode sheet showing which LED combination is active when IR and Bluetooth can be used simultanously?
Does anybody know for sure since when the new versions are made?
Is there a service manual available to dissamble them without destroying them?
The modes are all outlined here @TWG :http://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/17876/156154.aspxIs there a new updated mode sheet showing which LED combination is active when IR and Bluetooth can be used simultanously?

In the B&O FAQ's they still only list the 7 modes.
Maybe these new 'combo-modes' will be described, when the new BROne/BT will be launched.
There might be some new possibilities then - maybe even with the new BV/BV's.
Just speculating - my dealer couldn't say much about this :-(

Hmm, and now I have some liquid marks behind the plastic mask of the wheel. Anyone figured out how to remove or clean it in the meantime? 😁
Hi, Our essence remote has no visible liquid marks behind the plastic mask of the wheel but some functional problems due to a splash of red wine: Although we instantly dried the battery housing and the lower compartiment of our table remote (advice from beoworld for a submerged beocom6000) the "forward" button on the wheel doesn't work anymore. All the other functions work perfectly.
Anyone out there who tried to disassemble and clean the whole thing?
Thanks in advance
David
There is a little information here: https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/36696.aspx
This part seems particularly relevant:
I remember someone had spilled some drink on the remote, causing some discoloration under the plastic plate with the logo. At least that can be easily removed with a spider to be cleaned.It is made of plastic, and glue holds it in place.
However, if the switch itself is damaged it is probably not possible to repair due to the assembly techniques: the remote was rally designed to be assembled once and never disassembled..
If you are in the US I'd be willing to take a look at it - I'm a self-employed Electrical Engineer with a full design lab, which means I alsohave equipment for rework/repair. Unfortunately I'd give the likelihood of being able to actually repair the switch at no more than 20%, but I absolutely love the Essence remotes (see my signature, LOL) and I would be willing to give it a try for you.

I have an issue with my essence remote that when I turn the wheel nothing happens then all of a sudden the volume goes really loud. It does go up or down in volume gradually
