One last point....B&O came back yesterday and said that they would be able to repair the BeoLab on a chassis level. If I get it to a workshop in Malta , B&O Italy would advise them how to strip it down, then that worksho…

I have replaced the 4A slow blow fuse, connected everything up and the speaker works! Goes from standby to green and stays there. Have run it all afternoon. Perhaps the problem will come back because that fuse protects s…

Thanks for all the advice. I have spent so much over the last year repairing B&O equipment (Beosound 9000, 2 Beolab 4000's which failed within 6 months of each other) that I have to conclude that my B&O units are failing…

Beobuddy a few days ago sent a picture of the circuitry and my BL1 is exactly the same inside. On that pic is a big circuit panel at the top, then a copper wired whatever in the middle then a smaller panel at the bottom.…

I have checked the individual loudspeakers visually and they all seem ok. I managed to flip over the cooling profile and set it on its back to have a look at the boards/amp to see if anything obvious. Several posts ago I…

Dear Beobuddy, it doesn't look familiar because I cannot get the aluminium cooling profile off...I removed all the screws and the two screws at the bottom but it won't lift off and i'm reticent to use a screwdriver to he…

I have downloaded a brochure on how to dismantle the BL1. However, when you get the front panels off it is clear that the problem is in the electronics and around the LED which only becomes clear when the base is off. So…

Thanks. I'll try that. In the meantime I had a response from Detron in the Netherlands who handle vintage repairs and fixed my Beosound 9000 at a huge cost but have said that they cannot fix a Beolab 1 speaker cus no spa…

I have checked the power and changed the cables....one thing I did not see before is that the standby light is actually on but very very dim so it is very difficult to see.It is not bright like the other speaker and does…

Can anyone help advise me. The indicator light on my BeoLab 1 will not come on. I have rechecked the power connection a hundred times but the power indicator will not come on and the speaker is dead. I cannot take it to …
