Hi all,

My zeppelin (original) has just stopped working - no flashing red light indicating hardware failure but the volume doesn’t seem to be working. It has been making a pop sound after 3-5 seconds of switch on - assuming it’s capacitor related as per many online threads re: weak part of circuit from m/f.

I’m not confident enough to try a repair myself - does anyone know of a repairer in uk who can fix? B&w don’t offer repairs on this model anymore.

I believe he may be your best shot. If not you will need to buy something new,

Bowers and Wilkins are currently offering 25% off the price of their Formation Wedge and some other items in the Formation range when you trade in your old Zeppelin.

I’ve got an original B&W Zeppelin IPod version in perfect working condition that has just become surplus to requirements as I’ve bought an entire new hi-fi system.

If anybody wants it they can PM me and we could work something out.
