BeoCenter 2300 dead after opening it

4 replies

Hi,

I replaced the rubber belt that drives the glass doors on my BeoCenter 2300 (2616). I did it from the backside, so without unmounting any PCB. I even managed to not take the wires out: it turns out you can roll the rubber band through the cogs.

Anyway, I wanted to test if it worked, so I plugged the unit in while the back cover and glass doors were still off. As it got power, the light around the CD drive lit up about 1 s and then all was off. Completely dead. I didn't notice any sparks or funny smells or sounds. Just off. Now there is no light on and I can't get it to anything. Is there a safety mechanism that I triggered by plugging it in whitout cover?

Any suggestions?

Best regards

Johannes

There is no safety mechanism, without glass or cover. But something must have blown a fuse or a short circuit happened. Have you checked all connectors, and that you did not by accident pull one which is not correctly seated anymore ?

From a first look it seems that everything is as it should be. The only wire I had to detach is a ground wire (I suppose it's ground) that sits on one of the screws holding the wire pulleys. That one I connected again. But of course I can't be 100% sure.

Could you please point me to the fuses so I can check them?
