My remote control stopped operating my Boston Acoustics Horizon Duo-1. I know it is not the remote because I have a 2nd Duo-i Horizon that can be operated by both remote control units. Thanks, Booker

If you are lucky, it only went in protection mode and after disconnecting the power for a little while and reconnecting things could come back. But if the system did not have an overload protection, a fuse can be blown, or worse the power supply or power amp can be blown to pieces. There is one thing semiconductors don't like is work over their limit.

You are not alone. Memory cap will be bad on front display board(C137) 0.33F/5.5v. Replacing cap will not fix, micro damaged as well. Probably can't turn off except with remote and display brightness stuck as well. Board NLA.

Needs front display micro or board replaced. No parts available.

To perform a "soft reset"(all settings are erased)
Unplug radio
Hold alarm 1 button and plug in radio
Keep holding alarm 1 button until 3 numbers appear.
Release alarm 1 button and unplug radio.
Plug radio in and all will operate normally

Control micro is damaged due to leaky memory cap, .33F/5.5v on display board. Yellow glue used on these units turns brown and becomes both conductive and corrosive to the circuit board traces. built in obsolescence in my opinion to get you to buy new.

hi i'm looking for that solution too but found by myself you just need to remove the 2 front speaker grille just pull off and after remove the eight rubber that retained the grille the screws is under these rubbers and after gently pry the front cabinet

my duo i wont come on at all.no screen, sound but it charges my ipod pls could you suggest what will be the problem

May i get the make and model # to help you more.

I just received a email from BA re this issue. They were amazingly prompt and friendly. Here is what I was advised to do:

"One thing to try is to let the radio recalibrate itself, this is done by leaving the unit completely unpowered and unplugged for 48 hours to let the cap drain and the unit will recalibrate itself"

To fix: turn on unit, turn volume all the way down to 00, push and hold volume button for 10 seconds until beep then release, then turn volume all the way up to 50 (max) and push and release volume button.
