How did you remove the bottom glass panel off the 9500?
(I have a similar problem with it 'lifting')
Thanks AP

Restoring the Beocenter 9500

So time for a small update. After fixing the door problem I started putting the unit back together again.
The top glass panel was really hard to clean up from all that stickey goo. The old foam tape sure left a mess. I ended up using medical benzine (used to remove surgical tape residue etc from skin) on the plastic rails that attach to the panels. Luckily Leslie sent me the lower glasspanel ready to be sticked on so that was easy. For the upper panel I used a double sided sticky tape from Jula here in Sweden.
So here it is:
Great instructions Mikael! 🤒 Will follow your procedures soon!
Just glad to be of help if someone needs this type of thing done. Good luck with yours!
When you're happy I'm happy! Great result. For removing the sticky goo as you called it it's quite an easy task to remove it. Use a brush and some refined petrol or terpentine, brush it on the sticky "goo" a few times and within a half our just scrape it off with a soft plastic clip. Be carefull though with the black surface underneath and the grey conductive parts on the glasspanel not to scrape that off. Be gentle.....The goo becomes gelly so quite easy to do. Same thing for the plastic frames. CheckSo time for a small update. After fixing the door problem I started putting the unit back together again.

Thank you Leslie, My BC9500 didn't respond well to touch, had to press really hard on each command. It's also not fixed, moving left - right 5mm.
I loosen the screw, took the panel out and put it back. When the screw is tight, it doesn't work. I'm fine with this, if there is better solution please respond. Greetings, marko
Did you remove every fingerprint on the backside? It does not like grease...
Had the same problem. CD door sticking, managed to regrease and working fine. My problem is that the door opens but the spindle motor starts to spin and the laser is trying to read a disc that is not there. It seems that the door is in the open position when it should be closed. Any ideas would be grateful.
Swap the two leads going to the door motor.

Hi Martin, that worked great. Common sense why that worked. Thanks for your help. I do have two LED not working on the CD numbers 6 & 7 next to where you press to change the tracks for the CD. I used a meter and they came on when testing. Any idea as they are next to each other. Cheers Barry
I've often seen cracked solder joints being the cause of intermittent LEDs.
On the LEDs themselves and/or on board connectors etc.
