ERRATUM : Bad wiring diagram in installation manual. There was a mistake in the section 6, about the signals connections on the MHS CPU. The RST pin was incorrectly placed. I apologize for this mistake ! If you ran a jumper wire to the wrong pin in an attempt to make the connection according to this diagram, it does not seem to cause any issue, but it is better to remove it. The installation manual v1.1 contains the correct diagram. Login to view image

Hi, I'm interested in this mod (check your Personal Messages). Kind regards, Yann.

I don't even have a Beolink 5000 yet and I'd still buy one of these kits! Outstanding job! I followed this in the old forum and am genuinely very very impressed with what you have achieved. tentative question, what would it take to do something like this for the Beo4 - new screens are now down to NOS (New Old Stock) and will one day run out, I think the Beo4 is a corner stone of the B&O handheld controller line up and it would be a shame to not be able to fit new screens to broken models. You could perhaps even use more of the screen real estate with the source wording, add some B&O style icons for the inputs perhaps? Either way, thanks again for this amazing contribution to the community

Hi Beoworlders, Recieved today my Beolink 5000 updated by Pilatomic. Great job, everything works fine! The remote control has now a Beo4 look with the screen always on. Regards, Yann.

Thank you @YannChris for trusting me with your remote ! Sorry @david656 I didnt see your message earlier. I have yet to own any Beo4, is it subject to the same screen failures ?

Hi Pilatomic, In my experience Beo4 screens do fail, but replacement is actually quite straightforward because connection to the PCB is via a little rubber 'contact strip' - a replacement strip is provided with the new screen.  There's no soldering or anything complicated.  There's a replacement thread on the old forum but the photos have yet to re-appear: https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/21827/180453.aspx#180453 I did read a post that B&O were going to stop making/supplying new Beo4 screens, but I didn't have any problems getting hold of some recently. (EDIT:  It was David656's post just above that I'd read! ?)

Yeah, not trying to scare anyone, but it is only a matter of time before screen stock drys up. I've purchased a new screen on Ebay and fitted, it is quite simple, the BEO4 remote always annoyed me it has that nice big screen and a single line of text in the middle, it would be quite cool if you could one day do an e-ink replacement and fill out more of the screen. :-)
