Beoplay V1 not turning on
49 replies
A friend of mine have a Beoplay V1 40" that will no lunger turn on
When he is plugging the TV into an outlet the LED will blink green for a short while, but no reaction to remote commands at all.
I have guided him through the proces of changing the option settings in case it should have ended up in option 0 for some reason. This however did not do any difference, and the TV does not give the red blink when the option is set.
A google search doesn't give much, but I have seen a single mention of a leaking battery
Searching for Beovision 11 problems I see one mentioning of a blown capacitor
Both things sounds like plausible causes.
Does anyone have anymore information regarding this or any experience in fixing it?
I have a special interest in this as I also have a V1 myself, and would like to do some preventive measures on that if possible.
Does it show up in the B&O app or in the Beotool app (assumed it is online)?
The leaking battery issue is probably more common than one might think.
I know that in Denmark any serious dealer will replace the battery before selling a V1.
All you can hope for is, that it has not already caused too much damage.
I’d let a dealer or a skilled technician have a look, if it was mine.

I have a faulty V1-32 that I bought with a similar fault with similar LED behaviour. I saw reference to a leaking battery somewhere on the forum so I opened up the TV and searched the PCBs inside, and found nothing remotely like a battery! I think my internal investigations damaged something else because now I get no lights whatsoever. It's now back in a box waiting for donor parts, or to become a donor!
EDIT: Mine didn't show up in the app either (when connected to my network via RJ45).

I then reversed the tv so that the back was downwards and the screen carefully pivoted up.

I can only assume that those sheets would protect from scratches caused by opening the plastic ‘hinge’ beyond its normal range of movement.

My friend opened up his V1 today and sent me some pictures from the inside.
Although the mainboard look a lot like the one in Guy's V1 I not spot a component that could be a battery although the marking C304 suggest a capacitor.

There are no visible leaks from this component, but that of course does not men that it couldn't be defect.
Any thoughts
