Hello,
I saw there has been a similar question a while ago but unfortunately no answer. So I hope some of you experienced something similar and have been able to find a solution.
Both of my Beolab 8000 speakers have been displaying a weird behavior for a while now. They are connected to a streamer (node 2i) over the optical outlet. This set-up has worked quite well until a few weeks ago, since that point, once I pause whatever is playing on the TV they neither stay on nor off but always change between modes (see attached video). They are no pattern in them turning on/off, sometimes they change after a few seconds and sometimes after a couple of minutes.
Did anyone have similar experiences and know how to repair it?
Many thanks in advance!
Henry

Has the black foam been replaced?

Hey Gaea, thanks for your answer. As far as I know, the foam hasn't been replaced yet. However, I wonder how the foam could have this effect. Isn't the foam just the insulation?
The Foam starts to disintegrate and becomes a sticky goo that damages the PC boards causing a lot of issue and ultimately causing the speaker to stop working. Corrodes everything.
Then I will check for the insulation material first and see if that will fix the problem. Thank you so much.
