As mentioned in another post, I had a brand new moment but the screen had light bleeding so the dealer was more than kind to offer a  brand new " inspected " beosound moment.


Eagerly waiting to start it up at home, it was much of a disappointment.  The jukebox won't connect to server to check for updates. I tried to restore to factory settings but I was stuck at can't connect to Beoportal. 

I did a soft reset, it went into the configuration menu but the DLNA option is grayed out although both my TV and PC can see all available DLNA servers. 

 

I still cannot check for updates eventho I did a factory reset. I'm clueless and not sure what to do. The dealer is really far so can anybody assist me in troubleshooting the DLNA thing ? 

Also is it normal to have a jukebox with serial number : 0000000 ?

The serials are not correct so I suspect the Moment is in some sort of test or store mode.

Do you have the B&O app or the Beotool app?

In the app you can select Moment and see if you are registered as owner. In the Beotool app you can see if the Moment has any issues and what serial it is.

I do not know of any test or store mode on the Moment. You also say you have done a factory setup. Do you use a wired connection to the sound hart? The jukebox must be connected to your wifi network to be able to communicate with your sound hart.

It might be the case that all your information is not synced because it cannot contact the Beo portal, and therefore does not give correct information. Beoportal can be down sometimes, I do not have problems at this moment.

So no straight fix for you unfortunately but with a little patience and faith I hope you will be set up properly in short time. Hope this helps

Unfortunately I don't have an iPhone so I cannot install the application you mentioned. I called the dealer he said leave the moment for a day on network it might be that the server is down.

 

However, I am not sure why I can't select DLNA.

Server down sounds logical

DLNA because your Moment is still not installed properly?

Can you play music from Deezer and TuneIn?

Yes it's playing music from Deezer but I noticed something written in the manual : 

 

SoundHeart Serial number setting.:

 

When the Main Processor module PCB01.2 is replace it comes with the serial number 00000000 that must be replaced with the serial number of the replaced Main Processor module (8 digits printed on label of the old PCB01.2). Do the following: - Replace PCB01.2, Main Process board with the new one. - Power On the BeoSound Moment. - Connect product to ServiceTool, using wired connection, see page 53. - Open SoundHeart > System Info menu and press Read Info to ensure connection is established. - Open SoundHeart > SoundHeart menu and press Read to read current serial number of the BeoSound Moment hub (SoundHeart).

 

 

Now I don't want to jump into conclusions but does it ring a bell ?

Seems you got a fixed unit from the dealer which was not completely setup properly. Think you will have to bring the Moment back to your dealer. My guess is that this is the reason you cannot connect to Beoportal, as this needs the serial to check you are the owner

But has the dealer the right to replace a brand new faulty unit with a repaired / refurbished one ?

Sounds strange indeed, just call him tomorrow and ask him to explain! If you have a new jukebox with proper screen with no bleeding and new pcb and full warranty, I think you are ok, But if you bought a completely new Moment for full price I would insist on a new jukebox instead

Question from my side, from what manual did you read the serial 0000 remark? Couldn’t find it in the online manual.
