    Sony KDL-55W800A forcing software update?

    Hi guys,

    I have had a failure on the TV, and as such had to replace the mainboard. In every service / training manual I have looked at, it states that a software update is required when replacing either the mainboard, T-Con or LCD panel.

    I have downloaded the latest firmware from the Sony website, ver PKG4.600GAA for the Australian region, but I don't know how to update the software as the TV won't turn on (the amber / green status LED flashes alternately, indicating a Panel ID issue)

    Does anyone know a way that I can force the software update onto the TV?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated =)

    Cheers

      Only thing you can try is putting the firmware on the USB and put it in the tv. Remove the powercable and turn on the tv , it will hopefully install the firmware automatically.
      I only repair Panasonic plasma tv's! Currently owning a TX-P55VT50 and still searching for a ZT60!

          I am having the same issue on a KDL-70W850B, were you able to force the firmware? If so how, I have the same issue and it is pissing me off.

              I replaced the mainboard on a KDL60w685a, and now it blinks green and yellow. I think i need to update the firmware. But it's not available from Sony website.

              Does anyone have the firmware for this TV?

              Vizio D50-F1 - Can't update Software / Firmware
              by jason123
              Wondering if any of you have seen this before. I got this TV with lower half of the screen dim. Fixed the LED backlight issue - smooth

              I noticed that the System update lists current firmware is V1.0.6 and is able to find on the Vizio server 2.60.23-1... it downloads fully.. but instead of restarting, it just goes back to the previous screen "NO SIGNAL - HDMI1"

              I got the code and followed the update via flash drive - and it does exactly the same thing. Firmware is copied by the TV 100%, and then nothing - instead of restarting, it just goes back to the previous...

              Sony experts? 2nd bricked BAT Board after firmware update KDL-55EX720
              by thesteve
              So I bought another main board from eBay and the same thing happened.

              I got the firmware file from the Sony website. My model was listed and everything matched.

              sony_tvupdate_2011_4027_aaa_auth.zip was the file.

              Extracted to a folder: "sony_dtv0FA10A01A0A1_00000301"
              with file: 00000301_07e8046a.bin inside.

              Loaded it into the root of an otherwise empty USB thumbnail bought from around the same time as the TV. Not too old, not too new.. under 2Gig.

              The file reads perfectly. Lots of "disk activity"...

              SONY KD-43X8305C - Not booting after software update
              by Russ17
              Hi,

              I have been given a SONY KD-43X8305C Android based 43" 4K TV.

              It received a software update which failed and then failed to boot after.

              I have tried holding Power and Volume down (-) then applying AC power, multiple times, with no success.

              The backlight is off, the main status LED is Off, the Mainboard heat sink gets slightly warm if left on for more than 30 minutes, showing it is getting power.
              PSU has normal outputs. Screen appears blank even with a torch test and no start up sound from Android is heard when powered on.
              ...
