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

        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…

          (for instance matador, great work!), but I also see websites of semi commercial suppliers that there are more esthetic versions thinkable.

          Sorry to say, but you’re really hurting me.

          Clamps or any BL 8000 third party solution looks bulgy, fat and in any way are expensive.

          I would pompously say that people is SELLING my FREE clamps over the internet only because I’m dumb and those things are over me (not as bitter as I look).

          I’m kind of proud someone goes ahead and made the 6000 clamps.

          Now, be smart, think, and get a gold membership instead…

          In the end you’ll win more than cheap BL18 look alike.

              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.

                Where it fails miserably —as expected— is in the predictive touch area for the on-screen keyboard.

                Not really an issue to me, certainly because I don’t have à Beosound 5 and don’t use it as a keyboard.

                No to me the big problem is the battery. I have 3 or 4 of them, all with power supply problems. Unable to keep one alive more than few seconds. I have tried everything, fresh batteries, swapping Thermal protection, cells, overnight charging, external battery power, … Nothing work, the remote is always short on power when it only powers on…

                So sad, I really mis my Beo6 with their colorful display…Beocenter%20Home%20copy.jpg-600x450IMG_5244.JPG-600x450Beocenter%20Home%20V2%20copy.jpg-600x450IMG_5214.JPG-600x450

                  I am curious: is this functionality thru the Wi-Fi feature of the Beo6, or via the IR-emitters of the Beo6?

                  As far as I know Beo6 Wifi only works with Beosound 5 and that’s it.

                      Hi Matador, Copycat? Check here: https://www.leboncoin.fr/photo_audio_video/2509547503.htm

                      Hi YannChris,

                      Thank you for the heads-up.

                      There are a lot of copycats around including people who just sell the clamps I design with the Ikea like manual but this one is not. It may be inspired but it’s not the same, it is deeper and rounder.

                        It’s all said.

                        I sympathise.

                        Do what’s the best for you, we’ll do along.

                        Thanks for everything You and Keith.

                        LL Beoworld, whatever it’s form.

                          From the B&O website (where you might expect some B&O products :-)), there is something strange going on in the beautiful home of Malene and Nikolaj. https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/nl/story/sounds-like-home-malene-and-nikolaj. In the video, at the end, the BG4000 is spinning backward! Does it need a fix? Are they trying to find hidden messages? Probably the editor prioritizing aesthetics.

                          Definitely spinning reversed! Can’t see how it prioritizes the aesthetics though: no particular movement that could have been significantly different with the right motion…

                            Canadian movie “Testament”. Another Beovox something coupled with a non B&O amp and deck or TV but all with style. By the way, very funny movie for anyone above 50…

                              That official picture from B&O Mediabank led me to investigate that topic.

                              I found out, after many cheap RIAA attempts something called TC4 was a quite good (for my ears) substitute.

                              Maybe blurred by the fact that it looks like THE one.

                              Anyway if you look for a cheap RIAA and you’re over 45 and not working in a submarine, I encourage you to try it. Avoid the ones that connects directly to mains: the transformer is inside the box and creates a rumble.

                                Thanks Keith,

                                I really love these Beotalk magazines.

                                  In the end it is this [multiples remotes] ….or that [a sole beautiful Beo4]:

                                  Given you have an expensive Beovision TV set, an also expensive Beocenter Sound set, Beolights, Beothis and Beothat…

                                  I reckon the integration is clever and very sexy but let’s understand this is not to everybody and that poor human beings having to deal with mixed AV systems don’t have to suffer the shame to have multiples remotes on the living room table.

                                  Funny enough that nowadays Beoremote systems have to accommodate with third party TV brands just to keep that “one only remote” concept alive…

                                  Don’t misunderstand me: Il love all being controlled by a Beo4 or a Beo6, but lets agree this not for everyone and be open minded.

                                    Any special way to take it off the bracket or just tilt and lift off?

                                    They should be screws in the top and bottom side like 30 cm from the side edges.
                                    On the top side I think I remember they go through the bracket into the unit.
                                    On the bottom side they are just like pegs sitting in a groove in the stand.

                                      Thanks all for the kind words.

                                      About the sizing: long time since I did this but the right size is somewhere around this thread. It’s usual to have to scale the STL mesh from 10x to 100x.

                                      Please read all the thread!

                                      About plastic: I don’t know enough. I think mine were printed in PLA because I’ve heard this term somewhere but I’m not sure, so I can’t really help there.

                                        To second Pilatomic’s advice and with the same advices on personal expertise, I would say I remember a thread on the previous forum about reflowing some connections around the eye or something like that. Sorry to have no time to find it for you but IIRC it should pop up with obvious key words.

                                        Hoe this helps or may I’ve time to help you soon.

                                          This is the usual B&O table stand hooked to the wall.
                                          Tilt and lift the main unit to separate it from the wall hooks part. See Below.

                                            Absolutely stunning development. This is Beoworld! Thank you, tank you, thank you!

                                            Except for the name… BeoTooth? Honestly, it scares me like an MLGWNL (whatever) box profoundly dug in my human body.

                                            Jokes apart, you just made raise BM 5500 prices (jokes not so appart after all…).
