Just grabbed myself a bargain of a Beomaster 6500, Beocord 6500, MCP6500 and Beogram CD 6500.
Looks like the Beocord belts have had it but the CD is very confusing. CD tray is fine and quick but that's it, no sound of spinning nothing happens, doesn't appear to read the CD and the MCP shows "no source" after a few seconds.
Any ideas ??
Dirty laser lens, aged electrolytic capacitors on the servo board and/or cracked solder joints inthe power supply area of the main board.
Martin
I'll start with the lens then !
Not sure if I should hear it spinning or not as have no experience of any B&O CD players I'll have a look when I have the top off..
Do you still have a stock of belts for the Beocord Martin ? and does the CD use belts ? if so could it be that ?
Cleaned the lens, nothing, the disc is spinning.
Any tips on identifying the capacitors would be appreciated please.
The first place to look would be the caps on the Servo board. It is located under the big decoder board (left side). Remove 5 screws and lift up the PCB. (swing it to the left)
A service manual is available here on Beoworld if you upgrade your membership to Silver.
For the cost of them I might as well replace the 4 that I can see, can anyone tell me which caps to buy, there seems to be a million and 1 different types and I cannot find an exact match to the nichicon ones on there.
The 2 larger ones say M8915 and M8905, both are 220Uf and 16v and 85degreesC and the two smaller ones also say M8915 and 85degrees C but just VX(M)
I admit at this point I am completely lost !!
I would sugest looking at Dillens own thread: http://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/5230/48276.aspx#48276
Scroll down to the 28 march and you will see the write up of my white Beosystem 6500.
What Dillen won't tell you is that he can supply a kit of all the correct capacitors. I suggest you send him an email request.
Be aware that one of the capacitors is type critical and Dillen's kit will contain the correct item.
There is also a wealth of information on this problem which can be found by searching both this forum and the older archived forum.

Capacitors from Dillen fixed it, many thanks.
