Hello,

I'm trying to save a Beosound Century / 2000 with a problem.

When I plug it in I hear a soft clic, wich is normal I guess, the door opens and closes as it should but thats all!?

No buttons light up, no standby light, nothing. 

I checked the wiring inside starting with the keybaord/display pcb and microprocessor pcb and power pcb, every connector shows current on my multi meter. I even replaced the keybaord with pcb with an ebay version. No luck. I can't find a replacement microprocessor to try

Does anyone knows where I should look??

Thanks very much, I hope someone will help me..

Regards, Stephan

Hi,

There are one fuse located on the Mains board and eight on the Power Supply board, start with checking them all.

Updates 

I bought a second century with the same software version 1.3.

With the remote Beo 1000 the defective century works!

I switched the pcb 3 with the microprocessor  from the other working century and voila! It works!

If there's anybody with a spare pcb3 sw.1.3 than please let me know!

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions.
