Beolink 5000 E-Ink screen repair / mod
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 6, 2022 15:08Ok, I've now installed the kit in one of my for-parts remotes. And it looks great! 🤒 The installation instructions (linked above) were good. The kit relies on a new PCB being soldered on top of the old one and I had iss…

Beolink 5000 E-Ink screen repair / mod
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 15, 2021 18:08I'd be interested in one kit for sure! Just checked my stash and I have three BL5000's: One nice one where I got the LCD mostly working by heating the flatflex (display still has missing lines, but it's readable). One ex…
Your latest addi(c)tion?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 22, 2021 15:09Thanks for the link chartz, very cool looking at those prototype CD50 photos.... it has a fan! And two transformers! No wonder "the prototype is heavier: 7.9 kg against 6.2 kg". I quite like the flap-panel and the displa…
Light control 1 LC1 troubleshooting
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 10, 2021 15:51I've had some success on getting dead LC1s back to life by replacing the battery . Takes a bit of effort to disassemble though.
B&O 3D Prints
in BeoGram · May 18, 2021 17:47I just added two file with top- and bottom panels for the LC2 dimmer: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4862547 . Not perfect fits and could use some more rounding on the edges but still better than missing panels :)
What Are You Working On Now
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 9, 2021 19:00I just fixed a second LC2 light dimmer with the same problem as before . Sold as non-working, it was again resistor R3 that had gone open. No visible damage anywhere, and a simple replacement of the resistor (5.6ohm, 10%…

Powerlink to Penta 1
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 4, 2020 15:23There was an official B&O-made adapter (Powerlink Mk2 to RCA + SpeakerLink data pins). I did try that with my BV7 and Penta MkIs, but I couldn't get the displays working in that combo. I don't think it even powered the a…
B&O promo CDs vol I-XIII
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 29, 2020 14:37This is a great idea! I remember googling those CDs (I have couple myself, don't think anything that wasn't already mentioned) as well and finding very little results. Also some of the tracks seem very obscure and no lyr…
A workbench-shot in the B&O's Beogram 4000c page
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 10, 2020 12:14Looking at the B&O's webpage about the BG4000c , there is a photo that caught my eye: If you open the photo in full-size (a JPG with amuzingly name "Beograam_test.jpg") it's quite high-res. The setup appears to be an old…
Beolink 7000 back light and recapping.
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 18, 2020 15:31Good job, and a very nice price for a BL7000 🤒 If the buzzing is faint and only heard when the display is on, I'd say that was normal (due to the backlight high voltage coil resonating) and mine does that too.
Penta II Midrange Refoams - worth the effort?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 5, 2020 17:46Ok, I went on and bought a replacement kit from GoodHifi. The surrounds seem to fit fine and while tedious, it wasn't too bad to do them (I have now done one of the two speakers, ie. 4 midranges, took me about two evenin…

DVD2 BLOCKED
in General Discussion & Questions · May 28, 2020 15:44Blocked means that the DVD tray is not moving freely (or not opening/closing all the way). Probably the drive belt for the tray needs replacing. See: https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/17554/153213.aspx Edit: G…

Penta II Midrange Refoams - worth the effort?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 2, 2020 13:05Interesting discussion. I have been considering re-foaming my Beolab Pentas. Currently only one of the mid-ranges has a slight slit, but I am sure they all would fall apart if touched. AudioFriends have a YouTube video a…

Remote control of THREE Beograms from your bathtub
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 17, 2020 16:02Nice video, thanks. I sense a peak in MCL-searches (and prices) on eBay coming, glad I bought my MCL2 and MCL2AV boxes before the rush 😁 Regarding the query about interest in MCL2 cable, I could probably use some meters…
