hello again (3 months later)
I had my speaker repaired by a guy. it turned out that the whole transformer part (im not technical, I type what I remember he told me) was fried. He had to find a new one somewhere, he did.
So if anyone looks for a similar problem as described in the thread, this could be the reason your speaker is not working anymore. You connected a 110 volts to a 200 plug. Lessons cost money, I paid mine 🙂

On another subject, where was that video that helped me dismantle the speaker? I need to re-assemble it back. The foam around the frame was pulverized but I hope it will allow the speaker to still work. Im not such a hifi guy, I got it 20 years ago because I could purchase it for a reasonable price. And sounds good 🙂
thanks

PS, I found the video, here for reff Bang & Olufsen Beolab 8000 Disassembly, cleaning and new isolations material installment process

problem solved! 🙂
a friend just came over and saw the speaker on the floor. He took it with him because his partner is an electronics wizard.

I thank you again for your support!

I had to google what’s powerlink, rca and my conclusion is “something else”.
Maybe there’s a better way to connect the speakers to my old pioneer amplifier but I was happy as it was.

yes, the led stays green as long as I play smth, when music stops, after +/- 30 secs it turns to red.
I suppose what you call amplifier is the 2 parts electronics inside the speaker, one with the copper coil and above (as the speaker stands) is the one with more electronics.
In the shop the guy showed me 2 little black fuses (under the traf board) and measured them, saying they were all right.

thank you for not giving up on me!
It could be a simple thing but when I went to the B&O “repair center” here in The Hague/Netherlands the guy, though I had the amplifier urnit with me, said it has to be send to a lab and that will cost 350 euros. On top of that will come the part that needs to be replaced and spare parts are rare to come by. That’s why I felt so discouraged, that’s why Im happy when anyone wants to assist me.

The led turns green when I turn the power on (the 110 volts from the transformer).
I hear a click in the first part pictured in the photos, there some transformer it (judging with my knowledge from the many copper wires in pic 2 and 3)
If nothing else happens, after a while I hear another click and the lamp turns red.
It’s the same behavior I got in the past, when I didnt play music but left the speakers plugged in electricity.
(the other speaker works fine, I didnt force 220 on it)
The speakers themselves do not give any music when I play, just the click I described above, when it turns from red to green.

Patiently waiting 🙂

hello KolfMaker

and thanks for the reply! when one is in the dark, even hearing a voice is reassuring.
Answers:
didnt hear pop, saw smoke and just sniffed around, doesnt smell of burned electronics.
I didnt try the speakers just yet but got them out, vacuumed the dead foam and they look very well there.
I attach here the images you suggested, I hope they’re clear enough. If you mean I should measure smth, pls try to describe which points. If that helps, I could mark each one with a number, in the pix.
I also attach a pic of the thing I have to measure “life”. Pls excuse the mess around the parts themselves, Im a painter and my house is a mess…
