Good evening to all,

I was so happy to get a BS9000 cheap today.
Well, joy lived short. After further investigations and reading on the forum I think I was too presumptuous thinking it would be easy to fix. The unit was sold as defective so all my fault…

Good news is Radio works and A.Aux can be selected. Sound control works too.
At first as soon as ou selected CD, the unit did go Standby. 

The glass door looked like stuck on the right and wobbly on the left hinge.
I tried to force opening but it resisted to the point where the glass detached itself from the metallic support.
So I completely removed the glass. I could verify the left hinge has a very lot of play. But since then the load command seems to work (not consistently but as the unit is in bad shape, can't say if its related).

The CD clamper when moved manually can display CD1 and CD2 (have not tried other slots). I even manage to get a timerand "pause" displayed. The disc did move a little bit like pushed from below but it didn't spin and i didn't notice anything else.

I was trying to release the sledge as Beobuddy recommended in another thread and also following the Service Manual but here started my fears.

1- I can't see any "big wheel" under the carriage to be rotated by hand.
2- When I look into the groove over the CD slots I can see two pulleys on each extend but can't see any wire or cable around them. As the carriage seems to move quite freely I fear parts are missing.

So now I'm wondering if I didn't buy a dead body, donor of some parts which are now missing.

I've attached some pictures below.

Please any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

The left wobbly hinge, please notice the oval axis hole

.

The carriage below with no big wheel.

And one of the pulleys with no wire around.

Thanks for reading.

Good nite to all of you. I hope you're sleeping well. 

Unable to sleep my self i continued to investigate my unit, the service manual and comparing with picture on internet.
And here I am: No luck tis time, I 've just lost my money: Where it should be a motor and a spool with a wire, there is just… Nothing!
So yes, the sledge cannot move by itself and i dont know which kind of error this causing.

Most likely this unit will never fully work again. 

If one of you could help me with the glass lid to see something move, it would be great.
but as for the rest, its a dead end.

Sad night 🙁

So sorry - must be a real disappointment.

Perhaps one of the members has spare parts that could help you make it work again.

Good luck. Get some sleep.

Hi Marexy,

Yes I am. I can see there is no wire running on the grove and I removed the left metal top where i can see there's a hole where th motor should be.
I can also move the carriage freely as long it's not engaged on a slot.

Of course, here it is. You can see the most expensive hole in my B&O experience and also the unconnected plug.

 

I also tried to align the door thanks to the adjusting screws but it seems a spring is missing on the left hinge (the loose one).
I glued back the door panel. Its drying, let's see how it works tomorrow.
