Hello, looking for a little help.  My BeoCenter 9500 has been in storage for a good 6 years.  A few days ago I go to turn it on and the word 'Code" is displayed and it does not funtion.  I read somewhere that its a error message  for a bad  battery and it must be replaced.  I also read that the 9500 does not have a battery but a microprocessor module, part no. 8001130 that must be replaced.  Which one should I be looking for, ?. 

Also could someone dirrect me to the location of the processor or battery.  I have the unit opened up like the manual says.  Also where to get the part to fix it if it is a microprocessor. 

 

thanks for your time:

The battery is inside the CPU module, no need to replace the whole thing. It's a 3V lithium cell (whose type you might find out by searching on the forums, I can't remember it). It is soldered in place - get a new cell with solder lugs, it'll explode on your face if you try to solder on a regular button cell directly.

Take some necessary ESD precautions, or you might be looking for a new CPU module after all...

Finally, the code needs to be reset and you'll find the answer to that on the FAQ section of this site.

thanks a lot.  I got the location on the battery.  There is even a sticker on the silver box saying a battery in inside.  I will open it up this afternoon and post back with a update. 

 

thanks again.

okay, changed out the battery and ready to enter code.   I read 'Using a Beolink 1000 press:1271'   wait 3 seconds and unplug power.

I do not have a beolink 1000, not sure what type I have, it looks more like a Beo4 but on the back it has 11 buttons, 'shift,program,control,turn store,clear,v record, a record,rec start, rec stop and return. It was the remote I was given when I purchased it new back in 94'.

When i go to enter the numbers 'no contact' is displayed on the remote.  Do I need a beolink 1000 or ? will mine work.  

 

thanks:

I never had a Beolink 5000 myself, but I think you might need to configure it to one-way mode for this to work (so that it will behave as a Beolink 1000).

Are the numbers '1271' supposed to appear where the word 'code' is displayed, ?
