Beolink 5000 repair

[Madskp]

I have aquired 2 Beolink 5000 remotes in different conditions.

They both seem to work for one way remote control, but both give the no contact text when I try to control a Beocenter 2500 or a MCL2AV.

The display on one of the is working, although a little dim, and the other one has missing lines plus an artifact of some kind above the text.

Both displays are no longer attached to the body of the remotes. Guess the glue is no longer working.

So a few questions here before I begin doing any repairs.

1. I have read that the missing two way should be due to failing capacitors on the lower PCB. However I have not seen any description as to if is only one or all of them that will need replacing?
2. Except for the capacitor replacing could there be any other issues affecting two way operation (I have done the setup two make sure they are set to two way)?
3. Any kind of recommandations for a glue type to reattach the display?
4. Can anything be to to the dim display?
5. Is the artefact on the other display fixable at all?
6. Any good tips as to how to secure the working display while working on the remotes?

My plan is to get one working remote out of the two, so will probably start to disassemble one of the and recap the PCB and repaint the casing, and then use those parts for the one with working display

Thanks in advance

Will be curious to see any photos you might be able to take! I’ve just hand-delivered my US-market BL5000 to Steffen in Copenhagen for his specialized repair service. Luckily mine was only missing a few pixel rows; I was a bit nervous about opening it up in case I caused more damage…

If both display are likely working it is more than the majority of BL500O still in use (got one myself without display) and both will deserve proper repair.

I can’t help regarding capacitors but you might find help searching BWI or BWII.

About the display: you may wait for a confirmation from any other member but when I was still believing my faulty display was from bad soldier join I bought a T soldier tip fitted with some sort of rubber, made to secure the kind of bond that link the remote to the display. It was pretty cheap so maybe trying it would help someway. In my case it was the ribbon cable that was broken so the tool was of no use.

Good luck.
