I’ve repaired +20 BL5K lately and my experience is that the original display ribbon will fail at some point.
There is a guy in Struer I use my self who can replace the ribbon. PM me for contact details if you go down that route.

I’ll send you a PM for details, as that might be nesesary at one point in the procces or if I choose to get both working.

For recap of the IR PCB, there is a guide from Leslie Nelwan at the Beoworld archive showing which caps there needs to be replaced.
https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/9016/89901.aspx
Look a little more than half way down.

That’s great. And even greater I have all caps in stock since I bought replacements for my Beolink 7000 remote (although that did not fix 2 way on that). So might be faster that I thought to get going at recapping one of the boards.

For reattach the display I use double-sided tape from RS Component after a good clean to remove the old glue.

Nice, I guess different types of double sided tape can be used, but great to have a known working product for reference.

skolesen wrote:

The artefact on the display is not fixable. At least for now.

Thought so. It not that visible on the display without missing lines, only when seen in certain angles, so I can live with that.

The other one however has a large visible area of artefacts, so that might be the deciding factor for getting the connection to the display fixed or not.

skolesen wrote:

In according to the service manual the only thing there can be ajusted is the contrast of the display.

Ahh yes thanks. I will try that to see if that can help on the visibility of the display 🙂

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 also wondering if that was the way to go, but since one of the displays is not missing lines, I will start looking at it myself, knowing that there is a risk of damaging the display cable.

matador wrote:

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.

Only one of the is without missing lines, but dim, so better than not working, but not perfect.

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.

Thanks for sharing that info. I belive that is also how the forums user Steffen is fixing these, but with a new cable.

I had kind og the same thinking in this thread  about the RX2 https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beogram-rx2-datalink/

It seems like there might be errors in some of the service manuals, but if you can find unit at a decent price it would be interesting to hear if the datalink comptability is actually there

I do have one question – I like a bit or retro gaming and I would like to connect my old Nintendo GameCube to it.  I have a S-VHS cable for the GameCube but found that it does not fit into the little round AV socket on the BV11.  Could anyone tell me what kind of plug that AV socket takes?

It’s a mini DIN 9-pin connector.  Sounds Heavenly sell a cable but that may just be for audio input – worth checking with Steve.

At first glance, the answer seems to be NO. If I connect the speakers to BV powerlink, I cannot also connect them to the Core powerlink, and vise versa (or can I? Two powerlink ports on the 6000s after all…).

FIrst. Do not connect two sources to the same speaker. The intended use for the two powerlink ports on the BL6000 is to be able to daisychain to another speaker.

But there are solutions to your issue.

The official B&O solution is a Beolink Converter NL/ML which can translate between Netlink used on the Core, and Masterlink on the BV10. Not sure how seamless it works when the TV is Masterlink, I have only tried it the other way around, but maybe other members can chime in on that subject.

Another solution is a device that can switch between two powerlink inputs and let them share the same speaker.  There are different products on the market that can do that:

OneRemote has a product called Powerlink Switch

Almando has a product called Powerlink Switch and a more advance version called Multiplay stereo. Both have bluetooth built in as a source, and multiplay can also take digital audio sources as input.

Hope this is helpfull

on some points raised, yes the MX8000 is equipped with the Master Link module.

It is however not connected directly to the Ouverture, instead there is a 4-way ML Junction box sitting between the TV, Ouverture and a Beolab 2000 (link room).

Idid install the junction box myself, but checked continuity across all links in the junction box, can access TV audio from the BL2000 module, and play CDs/Radio on the Tv as Yann described.

The junction box should not matter as long as you can get the sorces between the units.

Neil wrote:

Following the instructions for DVD audio on the Ouverture, AV + DVD puts it into V.AUX mode, and the speakers switch on. Volume is adjustable without interfering with the TV, but alas, no audio.

Maybe double check the audio connections to the Ouverture in the junction box (red/red-white and orange/orange-white wires).

Neil wrote:

If I put the DVD player/TV into standby mode, the Ouverture doesn’t follow suit, and instead is active until shut down.

Try to hold down the standby button for a few seconds to shut down the whole system.

Hej igen Henrik

Godt at høre at der kom styr på det.

og du er velkommen til at skrive hvis der er mere. Der er som regel en her på forummet der kan hjælpe med et problem. Specielt i den engelsksprogede del af forummet.

For the most user friendly operation speakers connected to the MX8000 in option 2 and then the Ouverture in option 0 is recommended.

Else you will have to have both in option 1 and control it like Yann suggest.

YannChris wrote:

PS: is the MX directly connected the Ouverture or is there a black box (converter) between the 2 products?

The MX8000 has the possibility to have en optional ML module which I guess is the case here as the MX8000 does not have and Audio Aux Link connector as previous models.

ved at fjerne PL kabel mellem bs3 & 6500 forsvinder information i penta display, hvorfor?

Der er vist noget med at der er en lille omskifter ved stik panelet på Beolab Penta hvor man kan vælge mellem Audio og Video. Den skal stå på video når de er tilsluttet til BS3. Grunden til at du fik display før var at signalet blev ført over via Powerlink kablet, men det er ikke meningen det skal den vej.

Henrik Enggaard wrote:

endvidere tænker jeg om menu punket LINK hvor der kan stilles en frekvens har betydning for mit set-up som er i samme rum.

Det er kun hvis man vil kunne føre billedet fra BS3 til et TV i et andet rum via antenne kabel. Det er en funktion der nok ikke giver så meget mening med moderne video kilder.

er bekendt med jeg spørger meget, B&O er helt ny verden for mig og den er stor opsætningsmæssigt.

Ja der er en del specielle ting at holde styr på, men når det så er sat rigtigt op er brugeroplevelsen normalt også rigtig god

Hej igen Henrik

Det er korrekt at der ikke skal et powerlink kabel mellem BS3 og BM6500,  så det vil jeg anbefale at du fjerner

Det lyder godt. Dejligt at det det lykkedes.

Henrik Enggaard wrote:

nu hvor 6500 ikke modtager signalet fra fjernbetjening, hvilken kommando får det tilbage er det samme procedure.

Ja, hvis du igen vil betjene den selvstændigt er det option settings med Audio igen, og så med 1 i stedet for (det får B6500 til at modtage audio kommandoer).

En ekstra info til dit setup. Hvis du har andre komponenter i Beosystem 6500 (f.eks. CD, plade eller bånd) og gerne vil starte en kilde direkte med knapperne på den så skal der også sættes et Powerlink kabel mellem en a Powerlink udgangene på BM6500 og Powerlink stikket på converteren.

Hej igen Henrik

Jeg har desværre lidt begrænsede muligheder ud over svar på forum lige for tiden, men prøv at beskrive hvad det er du oplever.

En hurtig tanke herfra er om kablet mellem converteren og Beomaster 6500 er sat i det rigtige stik på Beomaster 6500 (TV/AUX)

Out of curiosity, why do you use a Beolink Passive with an IR eye in the  same room as the BS9000?

That also crossed my mind. Potentially the Beolink passive can also work as and amplifier connected via Powerlink to the BS9000 and no IR eye connected. The Powerlink cable has to be a MK2 fully wired Powerlink for it to work though.

Yes I think the motor windings must be connected to the three solder pads. You might be able to see some of it in some of the photos in this thread https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/628.aspx?PageIndex=4

Which wire should connect to which winding might not be clear though

When I initially set up I had the beolabs playing by using the remote and then pressed play on the ir eye. After I disconnected the beloabs I used the remote to control the ir eye.

Just to be sure about the setup: Is it correct that you do not have any speakers connected directly to the Beosound 9000?

James Powell wrote:

Only two things occurred between it working and not. I used the remote to turn on a non-b&o tv, and an electrician changed a dimmer switch.

Hard to say if these things could have affected anything, but anything is possible.

James Powell wrote:

The IR eye had a loose connection so I replaced the lead for a new one. I

Did you replace the lead with an original one with the same color coding? If so did you double check that all the wires are connected correctly and that there is no strain from any of the wires touching anything than its dedicated screw terminal in the IR eye?

James Powell wrote:

find it odd how the IR eye is receiving a signal from the remote (it blinks when I hold the OFF button or blinks when I follow the process you showed above) but cannot process a proper command.

I think that the IR eye might be able to react if just ground and 5V is connected, but if there is an issue with the data wire the signals might not be passed, so it is possible that there can be an issue with connections as mentioned before.

I am tempted to purchase another masterlink cable to see if it is the problem?

Also worth a try, but I would suggest to check the above first

Could you try to post a picture of the place where you do not see a connection. Just to understand what the issue is
