No standby light either?

Did you reassemble the power switch correctly I wonder?

I've never dismantled that switch,but it seems significant that you had function previuosly?

Nick

While replacing the single capacitor on the fuse board, it's quite easy to pull one or more of the stiff wires from the
transformer etc. inadvertently and unnoticed from their solder joints.
They may still sit in their holes in the board but no longer have any connection.
Try pulling them gently one by one - or simply clean and resolder them.

Thanks for your replies chaps,

Nick, no lights im afraid. I took a photo of.the wiring of the switch before and the wires are in the same places so I don't think that is it.

And Martin, pulling the stiff wires didn't yield anything. What however did budge were the two blue wires that have sleeves to join to the board. (https://imgur.com/a/qj1r9Dl). I will solder these in place but seeing as they still make contact, surely the circuit is in tact?

Please do correct me if I'm.wrong, any other suggestions are appreciated ! Thanks

AC voltage readings before and after the switch?

Martin

The best thing to do in this situation is start with the power to the Beomaster and proceed to the power supply. Verify that you have correct power voltages (and grounds).

My voltmeter is about as old as the beomaster, only goes up to 15v. Possibly not up to the job?

I have tried the wires blue and black wires that come out the switch and they max it out at 15v, not 100% sure on which ones to test?

However I have just snapped off the switch so will have to revisit this when that is sorted, thanks again guys

I have been told that the 'mains switch' on the 1900s can fail, possibly more likely if you have been soldering to it... I would simply link out the mains switch and see if that fixes it...

As Dillen says, measure the AC voltages, particularly the low voltage supply wires (2 x copper wires that solder to the main PCB)... These provide the input power to the 15volt power supply (also standby power)...

If you don't have a standby led lit, then there is probably no low voltage power...

£20 will buy you a tidy multimeter... 

I have finally acquired a multimeter, 243 before switch, 0 after.. guess we have our culprit.

Possible to get a replacement switch or any good alternatives out there? Would ideally have one rather than soulder the wires and bypass it altogether.

So I bypassed the switch, 240v reading on the brown PCB where the power comes in. 

I re-souldered the thin copper wires that join the main PCB,  which read 0.2v as did just about everywhere else. Replaced fuses too.

Without knowing better it seems like the transformer or whatever the large circular thing is, is not giving power beyond 0.2v.

No idea why or how to fix. never tampered with these parts and the area appears To be intact any ideas? ?
