Ugh! The motorized stand on my Avant doesn't work!

19 replies

I just got this Avant and finally realized that it doesn't rotate.  I  can see it move the tiniest amount and then it stops.  Well, since Im a mechanical kind of guy I was going to go after it.  Any ideas?  Simple fix maybe?  Or am I screwed?

This happened to me one time with a stand on a Beovision 6-26. On this system you connect the stand with a 4 pin connector. This connecter you can connect wrong, you should look for a indication so both male and female connectors are in line.

Hope this is the same for your avant system

 

Good luck

I made this mistake - the bit that sticks out and you tie the cables too needs to be pointing out in the middle - make sure that the cables have enough slack in them to let the stand rotate and that there is nothing blocking it - should be fine. I don't think there is a seperate connection for the stand though as it is fully built in. try rotating it manually if no joy incase it's just stuck.

Sorry, but I am a simple guy...

This happens when you are manually controlling the Avant w/ the Beo4, or just when you turn the set ON/OFF?

Have you set and stored the ON/OFF positions of the stand in the menu?

I admit I'm not too familiar with it yet but it does not move with the remote (although i see it barely try).  I went to stand settings and set the on position to 1 and standby to 9.  When i turn it off or on it doesnt do anything.

OK...

Then follow [ajames] lead...

Confirm that it is not binding and can be moved manually.

sorry-I did rotate it manually already.  Not stuck.  I really appreciate your help guys!

Press list on remote until display reads STAND. Now press << or >>. Does TV rotate?

negative....does not rotate

ok...I took it apart and fixed it.  It has multiple ball bearing tracks that were scattered...probably from moving it.  Thanks for all your help guys!  I love it here!
