Beocenter 9500 strange behavior (tape door crazy)

4 replies
Hello dear b&o addict ! A strangeness on my BC-9500, maybe can you help me ? When tape & cd doors are "closed" and  i put in standby my unit, the tape door open automaticaly !!! i don't understand. Another situation, Tape door closed  & Cd door open > i put standby the unit,e the Cd door closed of course but Tape door open.... lol.... a ghost ? What do you think ? Cheers Axel  
Welcome to Beoworld! A strange fault! Are there any strange indications with the lower display panel? Do you leave the unit connected to mains power when not in use? There could potentially be problems with the control processor caused by a flat backup battery on the processor board. This can be compounded if the unit is removed from mains power when not in use. The battery is replaceable if you are happy with disassembly and soldering; there is advice on the forum if required. Alternatively it could simply be loose or broken connections between boards/motors/sensors.
