Beovision 7-40mk5 BD laser

2 replies
Hi all,   as of today my Beovision 7-40mk5 decided to stop reading blu-rays :( Is there a way to see if the laser can be cleaned? I read the DVD and BD laser are two seperate diodes. Or is it a matter of replacing the entire module? not looking forward to that... Thanks

Hi Arthur, I too have the same model Beovision and I too have the same issue with Blu-ray discs - albeit mine has just started being a bit reluctant to read some discs but will read others. I fear it's only a metter of time before it ceases reading BD's altogether though so I'm keen to find out how you resolve this. I plan to shine a light inside the drive unit to see if any of the optics are reachable with slim cotton bud and some IPA. If I find a suitable solution or fix I'll let you know. (We're both dreading it being down to a faulty capacitor...I know) Julian
