Beolab 8000 mk1 pcb question

2 replies
Hi all, Like my username suggests I'm a bit of a noob, but still willing to learn. My beolab stopped working overnight and doesn't recognize any input, stuck on a standby light. I tried switching around all cables and decided to open it up. I think I found the issue already, I have yet to clean the pcb's tho but at first glance I saw this. Now if anyone could tell me what got shorted on the upper left corner of the image @ those 3 pins, and if there is still hope. Also, if there is anyone that has a good source for replacement foam or schematics to cut them myself that would be perfect! greetings David
Somebody cleaned it with a knife. OK, not very professional... The black foam has done it's work with acid. The board has acid defects and corrosion. Clean it with isopropanol and a good looking glass for acid... The bL8000 needs the foam. There are white foam offers in Ebay.
