Looks like I we may have found the culprit. I was checking on the crystal oscillator X2 (the one on the left) and trying to see how to take it out. I poked on the 3 vias right above x2 (with a plastic spudger). And decided to try one last time before removing the CPU/Display boards. The system came out of standby on the first attempt and I tried on/off combination many times - worked fine. Connected a source and let the system run for about 3-4 hrs..No issues since then. Looks like everything works

Thanks Sonavor..Yes !! I did see the post about the new PCB. Am sure many folks will be waiting for that one. Initially, the 5v regulator/capacitor were an issue. Replaced those and 5v problem was fixed. Now it's stable at 4.9v. Other than that only other thing I checked was the voltage for display PCB, which was ok. I did try a Beomaster Terminal remote. The system only responds to the remote when not in "hang" state. Which is again pointing to the CPU board being a problem. I will

Finally am back on the project. On the positive side I fixed the unresponsive tuner dial. Replacing the OP240A fixed the issue. (same as the volume sensor module - https://beolover.blogspot.com/2018/02/beomaster-8000-repaired-rotary-volume.html). Added Beolab 5000 speakers to my collection. So the BM8000 works well .....only when it works. Issues - 1. There are times it wont come out of standby..pulling out power and plugging it in again fixes the problem. Takes couple of retries sometimes. 2. When

I did get some time today to open the second speaker and the crossover PCB. The 6.8mH coil is 40mm x 39.5mm. So the closest match is - https://www.tme.com/us/en-us/details/fc-6.8mh-vs/audio-coils/visaton/3704/. Ordered and hope to get it in 7-10 days. The round trip from UPS after insurance inspection has done some more damage to the crossover PCB. 1 trace was broken rest everything seems to be ok. Am worried about the weight of the 6.8mH on the board will cause more damage. Will need to figure out
