It indeed becomes harder to get boards fixed without diagrams. It would make life/repair much easier..
Sometimes you need 2 boards (1 defective and 1 functioning) to measure differences to get the culpritt.
On the other hand, (smd)components nowadays are much smaller than years ago and more difficult to replace.
Multilayering is already used for at least more than 20 years at B&O boards Broken traces between vias are one of the more difficult culprits to find
Until now I get 80-90% back in working order again (BL1, 3, etc.). I've
hoped for the past many years they might release some more diagrams of
obsolete parts. boards and devices.
I get a lot of owners of vintage B&O that left the B&O dealer disappointed as they were told that their beloved BS9000, BL1 or other couldn't be fixed any more. The challenge then is to make them still enthousiastic about the newer products (they often never have seen before, M5, Essence remote, Moment, etc) they see here. I've had several occasions where the owners did buy new products to combine them again with their speakers they bought years ago for a lot of money and aren't eager to spend that amount of money again, with the thought of degraded support nowadays..
