Brennan B2 Display

Hi,

My B2 display has suddenly lost the top line when playing. It displays (the time) correctly when in standby and menu displays work also.  Any ideas ?

Thanks, Bob.

Hi Bob

How old is you B2?

Have you recently had your B2 open (at either end) ?

The problem could be cause by a loose connector - to check this - power the machine off and unplug it. 

Then turn it over and remove the 2 front screws either side at the front,. Then with a little persuasion using a plastic (disposable picnic knife so as not to scratch the case) ease the front off . It will come away as a piece but will be still connected

to the innards of the B2 by a ribbon cable. Check that the plug at the end of this cable (where it connects to the front) is well seated. Then replace the front and see if this made a difference.

The next possibility could be some sort of corruption relating to the SD Card in your B2 or to the Operating System software on this card. To test this get a new SD Card and flash the Brennan software to it as set out following instructions on the 

Brennan Web Site and or in this Forum. 

If this does not cure the problem then perhaps your Screen is failing - You can get a new screen from Brennan's web site 

 

and there are instructions on how to replace it.

If your B2 is still under guarantee I expect Brennan will sort this for you.

Hi Bob,

It sounds like the display is working OK as it shows the time, in standby, and the menu options (if I read your post correctly), so it is a puzzle why it not longer shows Track names when playing.

Does the web UI work OK and display all info?

Have you tried a power cycle - make sure the B2 is paused and displaying the clock, press and hold the Play/Stop button until 'saving' is displayed before releasing the button. Wait for the clock to be shown again and then power off.

Wait 30s and power on again. Does this help?

If not try doing a Web Upgrade - Settings menu.
