Thank you very much Adrian and Dave, this is most helpful.

I will try to do so as soon as I get the remote and post back on the forum to write if this was the issue or not.

Thanks again.

Dear all,

To close on this topic. I tried all the solution above but with no luck. So I left the unit at the B&O store for diagnostic. It turns out that there is a failure in the micro-processor and in the power supply (I don't have more details), and the repair would cost an astronomical amount...

Best,

Charles

Tough luck Charles.  B&O repairs usually do cost a lot unfortunately.  Maybe a donor unit with cosmetic damage could be found?  Or, just get another via a reseller!

Thanks for the update.  Sorry it wasn't better news.

Dave.

Daves suggestion is spot on, these are coming down in price and its worth considering a replacement which may be cheaper than a repair.

What about the seller? Has he knowingly sold a defective BC2?

I think I would be approaching him for a refund, unless it was the situation where he claims to know nothing about it and had no means of testing it etc, thus putting all the risk onto the buyer. Private seller or business? The seller must know something about the BC2's origins, and someone will know about the fault.

Do yourself a favour and contact Lee at Lifestyle. My BC2 was the victim of a lightning strike and like you I took it to the dealers who presented me with a repair quote that nudged GBP1,500...

I got in touch with Lee recalling him mentioning in another thread about BC2 socket units that he has some (just the socket unit) and from the above, it seems as if all your issues are confined to the socket unit. I was able to get a socket unit for a fraction (less than 25%) of the price of the repairs, had it in a matter of days and my BC2 is 100% again/

Graham, I forgot the start of this thread,  😳 the fact that it was just bought is indeed a seller issue.
