Beogram 8002 not turning on

[Jordi Veytia Iglesias]

Hello, I recently got a Beogram 8002. The issue it has is that it doesn’t turn on, not even the red standby dot.
I checked the insides and everything seems to be fine.

Inside the power supply the fuse and the transformer do not seem to be damaged.

My guess is that the Wicon capacitor of the power supply is dead.

Does anyone know which is a good replacement capacitor?

Thanks 🙂

Hi Jordi

The Capacitor that you mentioned is the last I would change because this is the Phase Cap for the Platter Motor mechanism which normally lasts very long.

If you got no LED I would resolder ALL solder joints of the plugs on the PCB’s an performing a recap of ALL electrolytic capacitors on thePCB’s.

Usually after that the BG 8000 will start up again…following issues have to be inspected later.

 

Here, on Beolovers site, you will find a bunch load to read about restoring the BG 8000

Hi Jordi, have you made some progress since then?

I have no experience whatsoever in fixing a Beogram 8002 and I certainly don’t mean to question Christian’s advice. I am starting looking into my Beogram (which used to be my father’s) as it went down a couple of months ago (same issue as yours, no standby dot). Given my father got it firsthand, I plan to test the power supply first (I have never tried resoldering before and don’t plan to give it a go on the Beogram). In case the capacitor happens to be the defective part, I have seen that beolover has a fancy replacement part for sale here: https://beolover.com/products/motor-capacitor-for-beogram-8000-and-8002?srsltid=AfmBOorVVyq1ac6mtxyNRzYs3qntusTpMdpkbGvgwSCFO5RvZbALmjbR

Hi Francois, I haven’t made any progress on my Beogram. I got the parts Christian recommended, but I haven’t got to the soldering yet.

I’ll venture into re-soldering the capacitors and in case that ends up not being the issue I’ll replace the one in the power supply.

I’ll keep you updated once I get to it.

Thanks for the advice and good luck with yours.

Jordi
