Hi forum ,
Can anyone please advice me ,
i would like to change the backup battery on the processorboard in my beomaster 7000.
What is the correct procedure to do that without the risk of loosing the stored settings in the static ram .
nitro2
B&O , ......and some more
You WILL lose the info.Adding external voltage across the cell is not recommended, it can (and will probably) explodeand that's not a pleasant experience.

Thanks Martin ,
as i don't have hte official service manual ( or a copy of that ) , is there a described procedure to get the info programmed back into the static ram ??
The service manual can be downloaded from our main website. A minimum membership level of silveris required but it's easily worth the small membership fee and we would appreciate the support.
There's not a lot to it if I remember correctly. The only thing I would like to say is that I recommendyou do it with no speakers connected since you have no idea what the settings are after replacing thecell, and that includes the volume setting. Don't ask why I feel the need to tell you this.
martin , thanks fot your support ( as always )
Volume will be preset to 26 as far as i understood , all audio settings will be gone , no stations in memory anymore , BUT..........
Is there anything more stored in that ram , i have read somewere ( long time ago ) there was something with the tuner 'offset "or so ????
I don't remember setting tuner offsets in a BM7000. Some of the Beocenter models have the need but I don'tthink the BM7000 does.It's all in the service manual. Nothing to be afraid of.Of course, the new battery must be replaced (soldered in) at an antistatic workplace to prevent static discharge damage.
Thanks martin ,
battery ordered , manual printed , soldering iron switched on.........................ready to go.
thanks again
i had no adjustments to do , all worked well .
i prepared everything so the time without power was as short as possible ( don't know if that effected the swap ) .
i remember getting the battery itself is a bit of a problem
