Hello all, can anyone help me with a Beo5/6 adaptor/interface?

I am in the process of fixing a Beo6, and configuring it to use in my set-up (with a BeoSound 5).

I found a cosmetically very nice one, changed the battery (twice – first one was no good). It seems to work well, but the plastic of the adaptor / interface is damaged. The fairly soft plastic got cracked and part of the outer ‘ring’ came off . With some tape I was able to fix it so the Beo6 does charge etc, but I would like to replace it with a good part.

This is the part:

Also one of the tiny TX5 screws is not great anymore.

Does anyone have such a part for me? Maybe in a dead Beo5/6 that I can adopt it from? I live in the Netherlands, happy to pay a fair price and postage.

Regards, Johan

Hi Johan,

I can’t help, sorry for that.

But can you give me your source for a a trustable battery. All My Beo6 have battery problems and I’m unable to get any of them working.

Thank you.

Hello Matador, I did use this battery https://www.123accu.nl/Bang-Olufsen-8700091-HHR-120AAB33-F1x2-accu-2-4-V-1200-mAh-123accu-huismerk-i47359.html for some weeks now and it seems to work fine.

Regards, Johan

Unfortunately, they don’t do international shipping

Googling the EAN code on the box resulted in this site: https://www.batteries4pro.com/en/multimedia/remote-control/3,19049-24v-12ah-nimh-battery-for-remote-control-bang-olufsen-beo5-4894128166993.html. They use a very similar image. Quite a bit cheaper. Worth a try? Regards, Johan

Tignum, the battary that happened to be bad, did it look like the one that was good (green and black sticker)?

Because there is indeed a lot of them around and specially on Amazon that happened to be more convenient for ordering than 123accu.nl for me (language…).

What I try to know is if we can trust the package a little bit or not at all.

Thank you…

Hi Matador, no the bad one had a white sticker: https://beoworld.dev.idslogic.net/forums/topic/beo5-beo6-software-firmware-versions/#post-31292 but I get what you say – can we trust the appearance?

Regards, Johan

Back on topic 🙂 No one with a crashed Be05/6 with a good adaptor part?

Regards, Johan

[matador]

Do you think it could be 3Dprinted and you could do the electronic part?
If so, I could try to model the part.

[Tignum]

Hi Matador, that is a generous offer, I think that it is a highly complicated part to measure and draw!

For now I just some horribly cut transparent packaging tape to keep all parts together while I will get a virtual machine working and the configuration tool running.

Some better cut black tape (maybe plotted) could do the trick also. Let me try that first.

The plastic material of the ‘ring’ is quite soft, I guess for a silent placement. But it got torn anyway. The plastic close to the copper contact points feels much harder. It could be a 2-piece construction maybe? Regards, Johan

[matador]

Yes it is a two part construction: a hard plastic part with a rubber “sock”.

If the rubber sock only is torn, you can replace it with a flat rubber ring (plumbing).

If the hard plastic part is broker yes it can be more difficult. Then I need to see how complicated would be to design the mesh, given one could add the electric contacts. Maybe not that easy.

If your solution did work (the tape) that would not be difficult to design a sticker and print it in thick vinyl. It happens I do have a plotter for that kind of thing and can try this for you.

In the meantime you can cut a piece of vinyl, apply it on the base, rub it with your finger and then follow the crease with the tip of an X-acto. That would give you a perfect shaped base.

Hope this helps.

Hello matador – good hint! I checked my plumbing box and found a few strong plastic rings with a matching (outer) diameter. I cut off the rubber ‘sock’ from the adaptor and found metal – steel for the magnetics with the base obviously. I fixed the ring with some good double sided tape, and it works well:

I will now try and find TX5 1.5mm x 5mm screws as one of them has a very tired head.

Merci! Regards, Johan
