Beovox S-120 Fault

12 replies
one of my speakers started cutting out at any volume and seemingly randomly. I discovered that by tapping the woofer cone it would come back on and work perfectly until it didn't. I was told that one of the leads to voice coil was detached. I thought I could fix it. I cut the dust cap off (carefully) and found that, of course I couldn't even find the wires so I decided to get replacement drivers. Confident I was on the right track. I replaced the drive and surprise! - same problem. Can anyone tell me what the heck is going on and how can I fix it?
If the whole speaker goes silent, failing contact in the safety (thermo-) relay. Give it a blast of contact cleaner and excersize it a couple dozen times. Martin
What Martin says ??

Do you mean the built-in protection circuit cut off switch on the front of the speaker?  (I was wondering about that...) Thanks, Rob
And yes the whole speaker goes silent. Thanks, Rob
No. The small thermo relay has a yellow reset button sticking out the front near the "Overload" printing. Martin
Sorry for all the questions----  OK I'll give it a try. Do you think I need to open the speaker and take the reset button out to work on it or can I just spray into the reset button from the front? Sparingly of course... Thank you sir! Rob
Thanks for the help Martin. I should have jumped on here some time ago. That did the trick! what a relief!
Well, I did what Martin suggested and it work beautifully. For several days. Now same old problem. Can I just bypass that?  My days of cranking it up that high are long gone.
Or perhaps I can find a replacement?
