Lift vs life

Stripe vs strip

A MX7000 type 78xx or higher is suited for the BEo4.

Most instructions are the same for the BL1000 (originally for the MX5000) and Beo4. But turning the stand with the arrow buttons will respond different or not. Play will be Go, The coloured buttons will not work. (these are SHIFT + Arrow if I remenber correctly)

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

Great thread with clear photos Peter - many thanks for taking the time to post.  I've done this process several times but never thought to document it for the benefit of others, so all credit for making the effort!   I've never worn gloves, but probably should!

Hi, I appreciate this is a bit old but I wonder if you might be able to help. I have suffered the same fate as many other with a now non working Beo4 remote. I have attempted, using your images, to open up the back of the remote but I simply cannot get the 2 halves part and I suspect I might end up doing more damage than good trying. The little press stub at the top of the remote moves slightly but nothing else happens. I have tried prising it apart but I simply  don't know where to apply pressure and could break something. Any advice would be appreciated?
