Beocenter 9300 No Life - almost

19 replies
I just picked up a BC9300 for 15 GBP, advertised as defect but with a relay clicking. True enough - I just connected it to mains, and I hear a click from a relay. Other than that, there is no stand-by light. I have opened the unit (the glass panel was of course loose, so I took that off), and I see no obvious signs. Is there a known problem, like e.g. cracked solder joints around a certain capacitor that I should look for, or should I start by seeing if I have the correct voltages as per the service manual?

Check the fuses behind the cover where power cord goes into the unit. But always inquire why the fuses blew in the first place!
I have the correct voltages from the transformer. On the standby board I also have correct voltages except for P90 pin 1. It's supposed to be 7.8V as I read the schematic (it says '7V8 unregulated') but I measure approx. 24V.

Is the relay on the standby board supposed to click? Because mine doesn’t say a click.

All fuses were good.

I guess I should have started by checking the battery: There was only one trace that was broken, so I fixed that. Those batteries are a ticking time bomb ?

Yeah those batteries can make a mess. I don’t know if it is just the picture, but it looks like there is a crack in the diode D5

I have just replaced the battery in the electronically similar BC2300 - see thread here:
