AV9000 curtains stuck

[Ishan]

Hello everyone,

My issue is pretty simple, today I tried to turn my AV9000 on and while everything worked like usual (the motorised stand was working too) the curtains that close themselves when you shut the TV off were stuck and didnt open. So I can see that the TV is working behind the curtain (there’s a slight opening in the middle), but it just won’t open. Recently they’ve been making some noise when closing too, so I assume it’s not software related.

I use this one a lot for retro gaming and the TV itself is still working perfectly fine, so i’d be really sad if I can’t use it anymore. If anyone has any idea on how to “unstuck” those curtains, or even permanently remove them without too much hassle, it’d be greatly appreciated. Thank you !

I’d like to post an update, I was able to unstuck the curtain by tapping the opening with a thin metal stick. Didn’t have to force or anything, just gave it a gentle push when powering up the TV.

It happened again recently and the same trick worked a second time. I’m afraid it won’t work forever and would like to permanently block the curtains open (so they stay open even when powering off the TV). Any suggestion on how to achieve that is appreciated.
