I have one BeoLab 8000 (serial nr. 1086 xxxx) with strange behavior.
My music source is connected via the RCA/Line input in the foot. The selector switch is set to RCA/Line.
This is what happens:
- When I start playing music, it does not immediately switch to On. Only when I set the volume on my source quite loud (appr. 85%), the BeoLab switches from Standby to On.
- After having played music, but at a lower volume level then that made the BeoLab switch On, the BeoLab 8000 switches back to Standby/Off after appr. 35 seconds.
- When playing music on the same volume level as the level that made the BeoLab switch On, it keeps playing.
Question
- Anyone, any idea what could be wrong?

Yes, I know about the foamrot issue. In this I did check all PCB’s, connectors, etc. for foamrot. Some copper traces have had a ‘by-pass’ already.
What bothers me is that at high volume/signal strength the Stand-by/On switching works well. But at low volume/signal strength it doesn’t.
Do you have any other suggestions?

I think what I will do next is switch the PCB with the LED. I have one of a working BeoLab 8000 that I can try if that makes a difference.
