Will seem a silly question, but which way do the batteries go into a Beolink 5000!? I have got hold of one which is in great cosmetic condition, but not working. The screen has come loose, and the battery cover is missing. I want to test it to see if there is any function at all but the phone-camera-test is not showing any blink from the IR blaster.
I’m assuming I have the batteries in the right way (two facing down, then the middle one facing up) but is that right? I assume the diagram to show how the batteries should be inserted is on the missing battery cover!
I have a Beocenter 9500 and have never had a working Beolink 5000 to go with it, so here’s hoping.

The diagram is on the cover, but there should also be – + – on the remote’s frame (perhaps it is not on all versions):
The battery holder of the BL5000 is very brittle and if even slightly damaged will not make good contact. I am hoping that Danish sounds parts would someday produce a remake (like they have done for almost all BL1000 parts).Location: Helsinki - Finland

Thank you – I did have them in the right way after all then. It’s not working, so I’ll have to have a more detailed look at it.

Two facing down, middle facing up is correct. The battery cover slides on downwards, and is removed upwards – some people get this wrong.
I just checked my ‘remote spares’ box and have a spare BL5000 battery cover – top left tab (lausvi’s photo) only has broken off but it should still work. PM me your address and I’ll stick it in the post.

Ah – there appears to be a glitch in the PM thingy – if I search for user ‘Guy’, you are the fourth one down, and your name is partially hidden by the text box formatting buttons:
Because of this, I can’t click your name. Maybe you could PM me, and I can reply?
