    You might want to measure your existing capacitors and go from there.

    I think that is a very good tip, that is how I will proceed.
    Thank you very much!

    the only fault was a damaged screen โ€“ it displayed fine but had damage in the corner.

    Wouldn’t it be possible to repair the screen? I don’t remember well how they’re made and what cause the leaking, but if it can be removed and the glass repaired, that would made a better remote that one with a missing line of pixel or very dimmed digits.

    Too bad! Thank you for looking.
    (It would be nice and useful to launch a thread on these Beo4 screen fault and find solution! I still dont understand when the fault is before or after the gummy bandโ€ฆ).

    Enjoy the beer!

    We got one of these video terminals at home when I was a kid, and I remember wondering what the Print button was for. Now I may even wonder more that it it equal to the PC command. What equipement was it for?

    According to this thread:https://archivedforum.beoworld.org/forums/p/38215/317414.aspx

    … it was supplied with the with the LX2800 and 2500 TVs amongst others.ย  And the PRINT button may have been for printing out Teletext, although B&O never supplied a printer.

    Ok that makes kind of sense as teletext was kind of the Internet of the 80โ€™s, even though Iโ€™m not sure how such a printer would connect to a Beovision. Might have been preparation for future use though.

    As you can see they clean up quite well as long as you are careful not to damage the rubber keyboards.

    Nice result ๐Ÿ™‚

    The Video Terminal is interesting.ย  Initially I tried to test the AUX and TAPE button with my BeoSound 1, but then realised that it willย only control video equipment, hence AUX is actually V.AUX (or DTV2) and TAPE is V.TAPE (or V.MEM).ย  I also discovered from an old thread that PRINT sends the PC command.

    Also a funy little detail with the telephone symbol over the MUTE button as a kind of extra explanation of the function ๐Ÿ™‚

    I am not really sure about the cost effectiveness of such repairs:ย  The Beo4 was about ยฃ20 incl P&P, a new screen about ยฃ25 and a new battery cover ยฃ4.

    Wouldn’t it be possible to transfer the display from a BEO4 with another defect, or are the different versions of the display?

    I have a Beo4 with navi button that are use daily for my V1, and the display is missing a line, and the black paint on the case is scratched in several places, so I was thinking of using an a older (but in nicer condition) BEO4 as a donor for freshing it up.

    Yes I have often swapped components between different versions of Beo4 to fix faults – they share most components (apart from main PCB and the keyboard/dome foil for the NAVI version). Trouble is that I cannot resist then buying new spares to fix the leftover broken donor ones – it’s like an addiction!

    Beovision LX2800 has a RS-232 serial interface for a printer in the form of a DIN socket at the rear of the cabinet.
    See page 18 (and 42) here:

    Ok great to know that it is possible, but sounds like it could end up being expensive if I end up having extra parts ?

    Wauw didn’t even think that something like that would have been built in. Guess many did not use this feature, but I must say that the manual is thorough regarding the setup including PIN outs and all.
