I have one BeoLab 8000 (serial 1177 xxxx) that worked perfectly until recently.
All of a sudden it did not power up any more. The red LED stays off/black, no sound coming from the speakers anymore.
Checks made:
- This BeoLab has been cleaned from old foam and visually looks perfect on the PCB and components, new foam has been installed before I got them.
- I checked the connectivity of the traces on the PSU PCB, as I have experienced before that they have been damaged by foam rot. But these traces measure positive on continuity.
- Instead of powering via the standard power cord and the C7 connector on the foot of the BeoLab, I removed the PSU/AMP block and connected 230v directly to the white 230v connector on the PSU PCB. When doing that I noticed that the relay makes a clicking sound, so it does power up this way.
