Hmm.

It is interesting that if i have box opnen fan is spining oly when i turn on BM5 and stop after 1 minute.

As BM5 have no cpu tempereture monitoring , cpu is getting up to 70 degree celsius.

Working ok....when i turn off..

After 3 minute goes to st-by and that is it..no more turning on.


I had the exact same error after upgrading to SSD with the Crucial MX500 SSD.

I tried during months , but nothing did help.

After changing the crucial with a Sandisk Ultra3D ssd all wake up problems were gone.

Interesting

I have MX3000 ant till now i uprgaed 3 units of BM5 without any issue. And one with MX500.

Can try with Sandisk Ultra3D

Thanks for tip.

I am using this disk. 1TB Crucial MX300

There might be some information in this thread if you have not seen it.

MX500 has a different controller, a newer one, checking the controler chip I found that the ULTRA 3D has the same controler as the old crucials.

hmm..there is SW problem in B&O upgrade!

I connect  scary old 1TB HITACHI  HDD Ultrastar and it's not from B&O it's from my old desktop computer  did cloning . ... as a 100% clone of my original 500gb hitachi HDD from my BM5.

hej guys...it worked tip top 100% perfect . no problems at all with original old SW from BM5!! 

on-off , st-by no problems at all !!

for  one day..just for test..

next day i decide to do the last SW version upgrade ...no problem ..it has upgradet fine.

And now...again problem with st-by ..like in my former posts.. WTF...

SO..there is SW problem on B&O side!

 

I agree.  Even now In 2020, I think the BeoSound 5 is still a very nice music system and could meet a majority of the needs of anyone interested in a very nice home music system.  Most of the issues with the BS5 have always been software problems which B&O just failed to address.  Even today software changes could potentially make it something very, very desirable.  I’d be willing to pay for upgrades if it actually improved how it functioned and worked.  I personally think it is styled and just feels much nicer than the Moment.  Significantly more revenue could have gain with the BS5 before it was just SUDDENLY DROPPED!  Wish I could understand B&O’s thought processes during that time?  Not sure they are wanting to be “cutting edge” anymore.
