I have recently acquired a reasonably clean Beolink 7000 remote. I have done the capacitor change without any issues. Since I can do microsoldering, this was pretty simple for me to do. The main and backup battery are both good. The remote works flawlessly in the charger.
But when I take it off charge, the remote will go to sleep as it should and then in a few seconds start to blink frantically.
When I tap it, the remote then wakes up and works normally. It continues to do so as long as I use it. Once it goes back to sleep, the rapid flashing starts again. I can put it on the charger and it works fine.
It does not SEEM the battery is bad, as it tests just over 6.4 volts, it is a nicad pack, replaced 2 years ago.
According to the forum posts, the LED display should flash if the battery gets low, but it does not. I have not tried to purposely run it down, as I'd have to keep constantly using it to keep it from going into the flashing routine which includes the LCD backlight.
I am confused... IS it the battery, or is something else wrong? This is my ffirst Beolink 7000 and while searching the forum, I have not found a solid answer to this.
Thanks.
