    CD does not spin. Laser replaced with no result. Any good ideas?

    Any politness? Like maybe “hello”, ‘hi there”, “thank you”… Things like that?

    This forum is not GPT driven and you’re lucky a more friendly member than me did answer.

    Anyway…

    Hi,

    How was the laser changed, by whom and sourced where?

    Bonjour et bienvenue sur Beoworld.

    En effet, c’est plutôt rassurant de voir l’appareil correctement remonté parce que la première photo était pour le moins inquiétante !

    J’ai commencé moi aussi par une 2500 et je me souviens en effet de la difficulté à remonter le cable des portes. Une fois qu’on l’a fait et qu’on a compris l’astuce (le petit ressort) on est prêt à recommencer, mais on évite quand même !

    Aujourd’hui j’ai une collection un peu trop encombrante dont je me sépare peu à peu. Attention donc à ce qu’on appelle ici le BeoVirus.

    Très rapidement vous vous rendrez compte de l’importante documentation technique disponible et de la conception très rusée de ces appareils et vous trouverez certainement que, loin de ne pas être évident, les réparations sont addictives !

    D’ici là n’hésitez pas à parcourir les pages de ce forum et des deux anciens forum archivés, ces sont des mines d’informations et de ressources incroyablement riche.

    Bon voyage parmi nous.

    Danish TV Show “Carmen Curlers” located in Danemark. Part of the action is in a Radio Shop.
    I’m unable to identify any item but the B&O logo is obvious in many shots.

    Hi,

    There’s number of threads about BS5 loosing internet connection. I can’t remember if the solution is simple or complicated but it does exist.
    I remember a thread in trhe old forum (I cant fond it right now) where the guy (french by the way) found a solution and wanted to sell it to members.

    I think the problem comes from a corrupted file in the linux framework behind the BS5 software.

    Of course your problem can be different.

    Good luck.

    The Movie Companion.  They have a beosound 3000 hooked up to a Mcintosh and show a close up.

    That one must be double checked by Members Guy and Madskp before moderation gives a go….            😀

    I owe you one  for the fine drawing you made of the Playmaker stand.

    That’s perfect, all I needed to know for now.

    I may come back to you later in the modeling process to check the holes position (I bet B&O does’nt place them randomly and speaker orientation has it’s reasons).

    But for now it’s all good.

    Thanks you Madskp.

    Hi Madskp,

    a scan of the profile of the stand. Would you prefer the Scan as a PDF or a picture?

    A picture would be perfect.

    The pictures you posted will be a great help. Could you please measure the whole height of the stand ?

    Thank you!

    As far as I know, no. Airplay is Airplay.

    Member Leogonewild did a mod on a Beolit (12 I think but maybe 15) to insert a google home inside. Quite a work if I remember correctly but neat and clean. If you like challenges…

    I actually wrote a longer piece about this a while ago, but decided not to post it, as it was more or less just my own reflections and not really particularly helpful.

    I’d like to read it.

    Interesting reading.

    Both seems to point out that a failed update doesn’t ‘brick’ the device (Apple Anxiety again…).

    In the end I believe it’s just a psychological issue like “if don’t update I will miss new features making my BS1 sounds like a BL90 and many other fancy stuff.

    It works, don’t touch anything (because ‘loudness’ is not really a thing I miss – more on my Beolit 12…).

    Thanks Mads.

    Hi Charlie,

    Even when you meticulously follow the wake up procedure for Beo5/6 it sometimes does’nt work. Then you try again the day after and it works.
    Once I was close to prove that it has to do with the conjuction of solar wind, the song playing in the radio at that exact moment, and the time of the days. But in the end I was unable to gather enough data to be sure.

    I’ve become comfortable that there is no rules when playing with those thing but this one: A dead Beo6 does not exists.

    You have to keep trying until it works.

    Good luck!

    Hi Madskp,

    1- I believe the antennas are the two side strips on the lower body of the unit. In the top part all I’ve seen looks like controls parts (rotating volume and touch panel. Nevertheless, Wifi does’nt seems to be the issue. More likely the link between the app and the device.

    2- Yes I’ve tried to reset the unit (thus erasing the wifi credentials) and use ethernet only: same behavior, the app sees the unit because it sets the gold color in the app and after that cant establish connection. Then again, even in wireless mode, the airplay connection is steady and strong.

    3- No, but see above.

    4- Yes it has and it was quite a surprise. The web server is the same as the one in the playmaker or the Beolit 12, same look and features that the Beosetup App.
    Then, yes, it could be a good place to try the update. But I’m still reluctant to do it (Years of Apple Update Anxiety…).

    Thank you for your help.

    to auto focus a sweet spot to the phone’s location (and therefore the listener’s position in the room).
