it happens, ASSUMPTIONS have been screwing people up since time began, including me.

This worked for me too! I'm still in shock.

Any one know how the original firmware would get corrupted? We suspect a power surge.

Yep, was a lightning storm that borked the firmware in my case.

thats the problem, everyones positive about everything, you dont need to see the screen with the kdl to do an update. bye now.

I'll just leave this here, just in case: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...9&postcount=59

As much as I don't want to admit I was wrong, that fixed the set. You sir are a god. I can't believe that's all it was. I would give you a great big hug if I could. I applaud you

I know this is an old and dead thread, but I just picked up a KDL-52S4100 off the side of the road and immediately did a firmware update since it was the easiest course of action. It fired right up. It had a steady green light and no picture or back light. Now I am just curious as to why this ever was a problem / solution. Thank you all!

Thunderstorm borked mine, I think some tvs including the infamous kdl's are a little more prone to firmware corruption, with a power surge and the like, hard to tell what all will do it but a power surge can for sure. Good reason to use good quality surge protectors.
