Hi thanks for letting me join. I have just got a 9300 which was sold honestly with some problems.

I would like to remove the glass panels and re-do the double sided sticky tape. The controls do not function properly. Is there a walk through video or instructions to guide me?
The 9300 loses all its presets , it even only plays out of the one speaker.. I know normally this would be the battery but the seller has fitted a new one. (he is a tv engineer by trade) If it isn't the battery what could it be? Could it be associated with the panel buttons not working or is there a memory chip that needs replacing.

All ideas welcome. I am in west midlands so if there is any local experts ...thanks again.

Hi and welcome to Beoworld! Firstly, there's a thread about the earlier BC9500 which may be useful here: ) to see if that cures the fault. With regard to the missing channel, try connecting the speakers to the speaker 2 sockets. If these work then the muting relay (which only supplies speaker 1 sockets) is faulty and should be replaced. Finally it would be worth having the service manual (available to Silver/Gold members of this site). Let us know how you get on, and if you have further questions. EDIT: Forgot to say - I have always used super glue gel to re-stick BeoCenter glass panels, rather than double sided tape (as described in the first thread that I linked). No problems after further 15+ years of use!

Thanks for such a detailed and clear response. I'll have a go at everything you suggest and get back to you. Id like to get this work of art in good condition. What is the situation with replacement remote control for the 9300. I don't mind aftermarket . Thanks 🙏

Followed instructions, Made a couple of errors but all buttons up and working perfectly. I could see the glass panels had been dodged slightly before. I'm now thinking the battery is probably the problem. Is it a desolder and solder job? I'll need a second hand remote. My finances are pretty rubbish.

Great work so far - glad that all the buttons work! Yes battery replacement is a soldering job, and you need to be careful not to apply too much heat as batteries can explode! (Wear goggles) EDIT: I have just deleted some of the advice and photo because I believe that the BC9300 battery may be in a different position to the BC9500 - I will check!!!!! And the battery type that I have fitted in the past:

Further to the above, although I don't have any photos of exact location, in the BC9300 the battery is actually on PCB3 which is the microprocessor board. This thread may help:

I've located battery. I can't see any soldering on top, is it soldered on the other side? Are the white pads under the battery normally there? Could you have a look at supplied photos. Thanks.. I'm very close now.
