Sorry to hear your BL1 is broken.  As these were made up to 2006, I'm surprised B&O have no spares for this - that doesn't fit with their previous commitments to servicing products I don't think.

If you can dismantle and remove the amplifier section (it's in the service manual), you may be able to send it to a good repair tech who could repair the whole amp unit.  I'd suggest contacting Beoworld 'Dillen' (Martin Olsen) in Denmark and he may be able to help with repairs to it.  He's our resident repair genius.  In a search box on the forum, just type in 'Dillen' and you can find a post by him - click on his avatar and then you can see his Bio.  Send him an e-mail or 'start a conversation' with him.  He's very busy but I'm sure will help if he can.

It would help if we knew where you are too?

Another alternative is the repair service of a B&O reseller (Quality Dream Audio) easily found online.  Or, a well used repair centre such as:

I had a similar experience,and was amazed to find that there was no support forthcoming from B&O other than the dreaded "product expired"response!!

It's a complex item,and I understand that the amplifier module was made for B&O by an associate company,and these modules are of course no longer made,but you would expect that someone could repair them?

I managed to repair mine,so I would encourage you to seek out a B&O enthusiast as Dave suggests.

Regards,

Nick

Sorry to hear that your needed part is no longer available. I just checked the B&O order system and the part is expired as mentioned in the post.

Where are you located?

Dave.

Nope, will not work either...

I have a pair of BL1's in for repair. 1 faulty, 1 working. So I can compare.

But no circuit diagrams are available. That's the point. With these diagrams I could repair these, like the BS9000 powersupply's, which  fails often.

But, without diagrams it just pointless measuring (althought I fixed a BL2 even without diagrams), and hoping to find anything. With these Multi-layer circuitboards it's difficult to re-engineer.

I had a bunch of inquries recently for Beolab 1 repairs (including this one).
I normally don't do repairs to the "newer" stuff, I merely try to concentrate on the no longer supported items, - but it seems the
Beolab 1 already belongs in that category.

With the difference that from the older stuff all diagrams are available. And from the newer ones not....

My pair of Beolab 1 is now in Hong Kong.

Martin, would B&O release the circuit diagram for the amplifier of Beolab 1 in the near future?  Thanks.

Dave, is it possible to request B&O to release the diagrams for Beolab 1 since B&O ceased to provide support. Thanks.
