Check this on my Picasa link. Use the slideshow option! Already did 4 now and I succeed on all 4 BL7000's.

It sure would be useful to know the component values as well 👍

Don't let me open this thing again

Check picture below from previous BL7000's I've "repaired"

😂 Thanks. I hate first opening stuff and then having to go shopping.

Pfff, was afraid for your next question, polarity....👍

Many thanks for the responses. It does need doing as we are now just one way!!!

Leslie, those photographs are very enlightening and may be of help. I have a friend who is quite good with electrics and has sourced the caps so I am trying to persuade him to have a go at it but it is an immaculate 7000 so I am somewhat worried what I will end up with. You wouldn't want to have a go at it for a reasonable cost would you? 

I would do it for free (except for the shipping costs), but no guarantees. I think your friend can do it, it's not that hard. Let me know...

OK I see you are in The Netherlands? I am in Sweden but the unit is in London. I will be there this week and will ask my friend how confident he is and maybe we will take the back off together and get a feel for how difficult it may be. If he feels it may be too much can I come back to you? Any shipping costs of course is no problem. 

Many thanks.

Off course you can! Remember that I can only try to fix the "No Contact" issue.

The picture text is wrong. Please read what's printed on the caps.

The real value for the 2 caps is not 22uf, it is  0,22uF. The "." is difficult to read but it is there... 👍

The black or blue bar is minus for polarity.

And there are some more caps to do. There is another one on the backside of the display and on the keyboard.

It also makes sense to replace or to check the 3.3V lithium cell on the cpu board. They are sometimes leaking.

Are you sure Die Bogener? Don't wanna argue with you as an expert but in other threads like link and the they mentioned 22uF?
