Hi,

 

Remove this if not allowed, but as the BM/BS5 are now discontinued by B&O, to recover from a failed disk or motherboard you need the service tool. I got this from Gerard, but he couldn't put it in a easily accessible place.

 

It can be found here:

It's 1.7GB in size

In addition, here is the software to allow Airplay to be active on the system - Shairport:

and finally, a troubleshooting guide and  the Firefox browser that will work on the system

Essentially all the files you need to bring a broken system up and have it work.

The bin file is a disk image that you write onto a USB key. You use the writing tool to do that. Google the use of the writing tool (although there are instructions in the file you downloaded.

Hi

 

Got the servicetool downloaded and extracted to usb, booted up "Beomaster 5 Maintenance Tool" up just fine..

 

BUT i need a working hdd to install this new hdd - and the old hdd is 100% dead.

Do you know where I can get the "base os" installation ? so the new hdd can get the os installed ?

 

Fingers crossed..

As far as I remember, the service tool has a complete image of the disk, so you don’t need an existing one. You have all you need.

Yes, boot from the usb. There is options to clone or create a new disk. You need to copy the serial number from the motherboard onto the new disk when it has created it. There is a button for that.
