Beosound 1 Cd issue

[Kim Björk]

Hi!
i got a Beosound 1 (old version)

the radio and speakers are working well, but it will not open the cd latch, it makes a sound but nothing is happening, would it mean the door mechanism is broken? Or something else inside the cd player, I have yet to disassemble it, figured id ask beforehand so I know if its worth trying to fix.

Hi Kim and welcome to Beoworld!

You really need to disassemble and investigate, but it should be quite straightforward especially if you have the service manual (available on site to Silver/Gold members).  I have three BeoSound 1s and have dismantled all of them to clean and fix various problems with the CD.

The last one that I took apart had a slight problem with the door mechanism, as you will see if you read my posts in the following thread:  https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beosound-1-faulty-cd-player/#post-56558

If you have any further questions come back and ask and maybe provide photos – I can always check the mechanism against one of my working ones.

hi guy!

ah ok, yes will probably try to take it apart then! seems pretty straight forward and “easy” for a B&O product.

got quoted 230£ for a cd repair here in sweden or if it was the laser they said 1000£ which I obviously wouldnt pay haha

 

if I can i will send a video maybe on what it sounds like when i press the load button

That sounds expensive!  My new laser (fitted myself) cost £30!

Have fun dismantling the BeoSound – it is actually quite straightforward.  And if you break something you can usually find replacement parts such as this:  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186532000399
