I am afraid the only reset is a mains reset.......

Are you having in mind the power cord?

yes, he means unplug it from the wall for a minute or so

I have done this operation for various time lengths several times - without any success.

Its red LED only illuminates, but it's required of its red LED to blink as before.

Hi again JIeo,

The user says:

The use
of a PIN code means that if your
music system has been disconnected
from the mains for more than
approximately 30 minutes, it can
only be activated again by switching
it on and keying in your own
personal PIN code via the close-up
operation panel.


If the PIN code is not entered, the music
system automatically switches to standby
after 3 minutes.


If a wrong PIN code is entered, you get
five attempts to key in the code, after
which the system is switched off and
cannot be switched on for 3 hours.

Maybe you have to wait for 3 hours before trying again. Also, it says you must use the numbers on Beosound 3200 (not on the remote control)

Tks, Stoobie! I know all about You wrote. I have done this operation for various time lengths (hours, days) several times - without any success ((

I think JIeo has tried everything possible and the only solution is to contact his local retailer.

I think that Blackrix is right, unfortunately ((

Hi Jleo,

This problem seems very similar to my problem; see post:

/forum/beogram/tx-2-platter-stiff

My beosound 9000 is currently at my dealer for service. I will let you know the outcome.

Regards,

Dennis

I like being right in most cases. This is not one of those...... Let's hope it is solved by just replacing the EEPROM. Keep us updated!
