Thanks for the instructions regarding the glass.

Yes, I've seen that Beo4 is not ideal remote for this TV, but what about Video Terminal?

Mika, is MX5500 different from MX2000 in regards of remote? I mean, the user manual for MX2000 is based on the mars bar.

Oh, have to look for a BL1000 then.

That's right - unfortunately the older Video Terminal, which was still used with the MX2000, does nothing with the later sets that use Beolink 1000 compatible codes.

There are also cheap plastic imitations (< 20 euros) of the Beolink 1000 available on eBay for example, if you are just trying to offload your extra tv 😕

Is there any news on the workbench for the MX6000? I have now taken out the electronics and thought I would start with the caps on the power supply, which in my set is located on the main board, right?

Do you have a suggestion on in what order to replace things? What caps should I replace first? The TV starts up, shows a green LED, but as soon as it's about to produce a picture, it goes into standby, with red LED.

Any help is appreciated!

hi,

i have a MX5500 type 3260 with following problem:

Picture is green, looks like red is missing. Teletext and onscreen menue are normal with all colours. i have replaced some c's and resoldered the main pcb and screen pcb.

The error occours with video / dvd as well.

may be the RGB pcb with TDA3506 is not working correct. What can i test or replace?

Thanks in advance

Ralf

When red is missing and the picture is green, maybe complete green or flashing green or red, then the defect is probably on the PAL decoder RGB driver board. It's already shown on page 1...

 Check ground and 8V, there are cracks in the copper lines.

 You see the 2-pin connector? This is ground, check the connections to the chips, this connection fails sometimes.

It's a European model.
