beolab 2500 no led light

23 replies

Hi everyone

Something I cannot understand, I have bought 2 pairs now of these beolab 2500, and each time the seller says that they were working when shipped.

It cannot be that 4 beolab 2500 on 2 system are all 4 dead, this has something to do with the transport.

Anyone on this ??? No led turning on even plugged directly in the outlet.

That cannot be an aging fault, must be during transport....

 

LED? There is no LED.

Why don't you just test them with a PowerLink cable?

Yes, there are LED's.  Red/Standby  Green/In use   And yes, that's a very bizarre problem you describe.   Make sure the power cables are plugged into the speakers all the way.

I've had several with a burned resistor in the powersupply. Same sympton.

Hi Beobuddy

Well at first I was looking for something more simple that could happening during transport, but I find very odd that on 2 pairs of speakers all speakers are dead and that both sellers would lie.

This would mean that both sellers used their b&o until both speakers died on them, meaning listening to their Beocenter with one speaker only for monthes or years.

Well it looks like I will have to go through all transformer PCB to find the faulty parts.

This does sound odd. Could it be that your power link leads are dodgy or even whatever you are plugging them into that doesn't work.

Even with or without powerlinkcables attached, a red (led) dot should be visible.

Now I certainly have learned that the BL2500 HAS an led light 😳

Check fuses first of course.

Small resistors are red indicated and can be burned.

Many Thanks beobuddy I have one pair of Beolab 2500 with the same error and you have the right resistor 19 and 20 was defective.

Best regards Jan
