Was given this by relative, not used for some while.
First few times worked fine, but now doors do not sense hand and won't open. No sound or whirring, just nothing.
All works fine with remote, but cannot open the doors. Getting bored of the one CD it came with!
Thank you for advice.
PS it was quite dusty when delivered, wondering if sensors can get blocked?
Cheers

Maybe have a read of this thread so that you know the location of the sensors (it's a bit confusing to read to the end): by any chance?
Are you sure that it's a BC2300 - check the label on the rear? The newer BS3000/3200 had a setting where the doors could be locked to prevent unwanted tampering.
