Good afternoon guys,
Have failed to find an easy solution to borrow a working Beolink 5000 or 7000 to clear that annoying timer on a Beocenter 2300 I start to think to try to repair th BL5000 I had (thanks Christo!).
After reading about the classic issue, ribbon cable connection becoming loose, I was so happy to fond out that some oriental country sell a special tool for this for not too much money and thought I could give it a try.
After long weeks, the tool arrived.
So today I started to open the remote making pictures to post a nice new "save your things from trash" topic on the forum.
Unfortunatly, while dismantling the remote carefully taking care of the thin fragile ribbon, I discovered the tool not gonna be of any help…
The connections are broken inside the ribbon itself at a crease.
From the PCB side they are soldier point where somebody with surgeon's steady hands may bridge some wires, but from the screen side, there is nowhere to soldier anything.
I closed the remote.
Now I have to thing a way to do this another way!
Worth a try, so thanks for posting! And good luck with the next attempt!
I have four BL5000s. One mint and fully working, one tatty but fully working (everyday use) and a couple like the one above. It's a shame that they are so fragile, but I guess that B&O learnt their lesson and made the Beo4 much more robust!

Hi Guy,
Well, then if the second attempt doesn't succeed, I know where mine will go because it's in perfect cosmetic condition!
