Hi all . Can anyone give me help repairing one each of three B and O speakers , beolab 4000 , 8000 and beolab 1 , all show red standby but won’t go green . Power links tested with working speakers . Had the board out on the 4000 and can’t see any burning but the sponge has turned to glue. I was and engineer for 45 years and am confident I can repair with detailed guidance , had quotes that are more than they are worth , just need instructions and where to get the components in the Uk if someone can help .

Hi A2bur,
Some checks on what mentioned:
- ”Powerlinks tested with working speakers” - Does that mean that when connected via Powerlink, all speakers do switch from Stand-by/Off to On?
- If they work with Powerlink, is your issue of not switching to On, with the RCA/Line input?

Thanks MR10 for the manual link and have downloaded the 4000 one . The power link works with a working speaker but the 4000 stays red when the p/link is returned . Not tried line input yet . I'll open it up again and clean , do i have to discharge anything ? I'll get some pictures when I get it open . I'll see how I get on with this 4000 before I look at the 8000 and the beolab 1 , it's only one of each pair the has the constant red condition .
Line in works from the headphone socket on the Beomaster 3500 ,
