Beovision Eclipse not turning on

[Mbee]

Hi,

I’ve just purchased a 2nd hand Beovision Eclipse MKI from 2017, from a very trustworthy couple who hasn’t turn it on since some months.

After I set up everything consciously (I’m used to B&O setups…) I can see the TV on my B&O app, but I can’t turn it on, it’s just a black screen emitting periodontal clicking noises from a relay switching on and off every 2 seconds approximately. Sometimes a 1-pixel line appears briefly on the panel where the sound scale should be, but that’s all. Any idea what did go wrong?

The B&O app sees it but I can’t do anything, neither listening to Deezer nor turning on a video source.

Any help ?

After some thoughts, as the tv is clicking « on », displaying what looks like just a half line of pixels, and clicking « off » forever, I think that the problem is the power supply unit of the LG panel.

But something makes me think it can be another thing : I cannot use the pure audio functions of the sound center (airplay seems to be working on my phones as the Beovision speaker is selected and I can change the volume, but there is no sound at all…)

A common mistake here is plugging the HDMI from the SoundCenter into the wrong socket on the screen…

I also seem to remember the RJ cable can be a problem and B&O have a ‘Mk2’ version of it. I’m also not sure if it’s ‘directional’ – so try swapping that around.

Hi Lee,

it’s been a while since I last saw you on this forum! Thanks for the help, but the HDMI is in its correct place (HDMI2, eARC). I also tried changing the hdmi cable for another one, with no success.

The RJ45 cable is a bit directional as there is a 90º connector on only one side (screen side, to let some space for the cover).

Now I’ve managed to get the soundcenter working, I don’t know how. And I suspect the OLED panel has been physically damaged, which could explain the power supply turning on and of after quickly displaying just a half line of pixels.
