40" Beovision 8 overbalancing!

My Beovision 8 has sat happily on a console for several years but I noticed when I pulled the cupboard away from the wall the TV is top heavy and falls backward! I have tried sliding the two feet but still cannot get it to sit upright. It has always had a lean backwards (which is can do if chosen) but it should also sit almost vertical. I have looked a pics on the net and it does so in many of them. I cannot get it to sit upright. any ideas? I don't want to force it as I may break something.

 

Is the only movement in the sled like feet a slide action back and forth or is there some pivot action also?

 

Many thanks

No, it's just a 'sled action' 

I can only assume that either one of the feet is stuck, or both are!

The feet (and sliding action) are actually high quality, so don't be afraid of getting a little more 'forceful' with them. They're only held in with two screw/bolts each though, so that'll be the weak link in the chain if they do break after you take a run up to shoulder barge the screen!

In the absence of the proper feet for my 8-32 which is in a cabinet, I bought some rubber feet that do the trick - however the cable cover has to be on for the set to not tip backwards - for some reason it will do that without the cable cover in place. Ended up putting a horizontal bar behind the TV  inside the cabinet as a belt and braces exercises.

I have just had to order a new set of feet. It seems the TV is top heavy. The sheer weight of the screen leaning backwards has bent the plates where they are screwed onto the body of the TV. This is most disappointing. The TV has never been moved from its position over the years but it has gradually leaned further and further back. Thank goodness the wall was there otherwise I would have a smashed TV as it fell backward.

 

Am I the only one this has happened to? TVs are not the sort of thing that you constantly move, so I am not sure what gives with this situation.

Sorry about your problems

I have never had any issues in 5 years

Even with cats and kids thinking the speaker "ledge" is good for walking along or leaning on to say "i want that one"
