Hi Guys,
I'm new to this forum but a B&O enthousiast. I recently developed the hobby of buying broken down equipment en repairing them. I have 2 beocord 5000's waiting for a belt change, A Beogram CD 50 wich needs a new belt and a beogram CD 50 with no sound so i'm going to replace the audio board.
The problem i have is with a Beocenter 8000. I bought it as a birthday present for a friend en bought it second hand, as is, knowing, and expecting, there would be some issues. CD Player works, Tape recorder needs a new belt, glass panels need te be reattached, all easy and doable jobs. It has a greater issue though.
When turned on sound only emerges from the left speaker. After initially thinking the whole amp was a loss i tried fiddling with the audio settings. Volume was low and when i tried to ajust the balance the whole screens starts flickering. After touching the volume one the displays calms down and i noticed the balance was all the way to the left. adjusting it lead to the sound being perfect form both speakers.
Consulting this forum, thank you!!, pointed toward a drained. But not completelt. Setting cannot be stored and even when let in standby the settings are lost, balance is off, and souns comes only from the left speaker. Whats going on? Is it just the battery or is a memory chip damaged or something.
Please help, her birthday is the 14th allready...

Check for cracked solder joints to the large filter capacitors (center pins in particular) and the relay in the power supply module.Replace the speaker muting relay.
