I'm trying to set up an AV 7000 I purchased a few years back. However, my beolink 1000 is different than the one pictured in the users guide and does not seem totally compatible with the AV 7000. Is there a way to link t…

Here's the bad news. I purchased it off ebay with intent of connecting to my AV7000. When I first got it, I just plugged it in to see if it lit up. It did. Now it doesn't. I checked the connection to the BM 4500 with my …

Penta rebuild

Hi All, I've seen numerous threads pertaining to the Penta and cap jobs. My pair of old series I's are in need, I think. One went out completely with the orange light and the smell of burning electrolyte. The other pops …

Popping Penta

Hi All, I'm having difficulties with one of my series 1 Penta's. I'm getting an intermittant popping noise during playback. I know, not a lot of info, but I figured I'd ask the B&O brain trust before I start taking it ap…

Penta 1 Display non-functional

in The Workbench · Sept 7, 2008 10:40 GMT

Thanks you guys. I've narrowed it down to the display board with the large cap. It looks like some black/green goo oozed out of the bottom of the cap. It seems I need a cap job (and possibly some resistors) or maybe I'll…

Hey PL212 - thanks for the tip. I swapped out the displays as you suggested and discovered that I have two speakers with one good display. Do you (or anyone else) have any troubleshooting tips for a bad display? Again, t…

Penta 1 Display non-functional

Thanks for your response Craig, but that was my first thought as well. My other Penta works fine on both channels and with both cables and adapters. It's definitly something within the Penta. Puck
