Hi Osozu,

Welcome to the Community! We'll look into this for you but would just like to check something. Did you get the update from here or from somewhere else?

Thanks,

EdwinaU

Hi Edwina any other suggestion?

Hi Osozu1,

Apologies for the delay getting back to you on this. I'm looking in to what the problem could be.

Is everything ok with the older firmware in the meantime?

Thanks,

Drew

Youre lucky it did not brick as my KD-75XE9005 did.

Brand new bought on black friday.

When i conencted it to the internet, it asked to update.

After update was done, it restarted and there is only sound and no pictures.
Can see grey boxes on the panel if i use flashlight on it.

Factoryreset or reinstall firmware from USB does not work. Still the same.

As sony has blocked installation of same or older firmware as is allready on the tv there is no fix for me.

And im stuck with a bricked new TV.

Hmm very nice SONY, how it's possible, thy don't have testers or what?????

Hi again @Bozzern

What did Sony Support advise you to do?

Has an engineer been to visit you?

[Bozzern]

One week has almost passed, they say the need to take the tv in for service.

They can not fix it at my home.

It can take a few days before they can pick it up and atleast two weeks after that to repair.

Then to get it back to me will take a few days.

So im probaly without my new tv for atleast one month.

Tragic.

It will probably not be in perfect condition after transport and repair.

Trying to solve it with the store so i can get a brand new tv, but they dont have it in stock.

I cannot understand why sony has blocked reinstall of same firmware or older firmware.

Please make an updated revision of the firmware for me to try install so my tv can accept it!
