Hello,

close to Xmas and now my BM4500 is no longer reacting. I need some signs of hope, as I am just having it for some time and actually did not listen to it, as speakers were arriving just day before yesterday... :o(((

I purchase it used and it had the 220V wires cut, same as the beogram 4500 which came along. The guy before simply put it together with a luster/ screw terminal and put it in the socket. It also worked for me, however as I did not want to plug it long term, I always pulled the plug out of the socket. It made some clicking noises, however it turned on afterwards with no problem - until today.

Beomaster is giving no sign of life.... I opened it and checked 3 fuses (marked with some color), but all of them appear to be still ok.

I would really appreciate, if someone can shed some light, on what this could be and particularly, if it can be brought to life for a reasonable amount of money...

Thanks,

Markus

Hi Markus,

Others have had this problem before but as nobody ever completes the thread we never know what the problem was! Have a look

In order to close this thread - Beomaster is back and currently playing Scorpions in the background on 1 refurbished and recaped RL 45.2 and 2nd still to go ;o))) Sooo nice piece and even WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) is at 10!

One IC was shot and replaced on the Board which is placed before the the transformator coil right at the cable inlet!

I am happy now!

Rgds,

Hi,

I have the same problem with my beomaster 4500 with one of the IC's gone. Who did you send it off to and how much did it cost?

Thanks
