I'm trying to do a software update on a Sony KDL-48W600B with backlights and no picture and having absolutely no luck. I can't find anything on the Sony support website that specifies the procedure. Can anyone provide a link or instructions? Thanks!

Re: Sony KDL-48W600B software update with no picture
You mean to tell me there's no way to output audio and video from this piece of s**t f*****g turd of a TV so I have a chance of maybe seeing the menu on another TV and updating it that way???
J***s H. C****t, I've never seen a bigger pain in the a*s pile of f*****g G*d D**n s**t in my life....there's no definitive info on the Sony e-support site how to extract the software for this model, there's no way to output the picture to another source, there's no procedure to update the software via USB when the TV won't display a picture unless it's a f*****g Android TV or you update VIA the internet, which I can't do without a working f*****g display panel. I think a case of the clap would be easier to deal with than updating this glass double dil*o a** ramming piece of monkey s**t!
F**K SONY in the mother f*****g cornh**e, and if I can't find the info I'm going to run this m****r f****r over with my F150 then have a friend toss it in the air when I yell "PULL".
What a TERRIFFIC way to ruin an otherwise f*****g pleasant Sunday.

Re: Sony KDL-48W600B software update with no picture
Don't know if you have to use remote or not, my kdl from 2009 was a no touch update, I just put in the usb and it did it, been a while, I think I put in usb and turned tv on and took about 15 minutes, think the lights went from blinking while updating to a solid amber when done.Last edited by nomoresonys; 02-04-2019, 11:43 AM.Quit because THIS SITE LETS A ROGUE MEMBER TYPE ANY GARBAGE HE PLEASES AND THE POWERS THAT BE NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SO HE NEVER QUITS.

Re: Sony KDL-48W600B software update with no picture
Thanks for the reply nomoresonys. I had a look at that page last night and downloaded the update but there was no instructions on extracting the file to a USB. I tried "extract to" the thumb drive, installed the stick in to the TV, the green LED on the thumb drive flashes for a few seconds then quits and doesn't flash again, like the TV isn't reading the data on it.They call me......."threadkiller"Comment

Re: Sony KDL-48W600B software update with no picture
I think that this page from sony us provides a "method" to follow.
https://www.sony.com/electronics/sup...loads/W0011108
one thing that I found with a sharp "method" that said to use fat32 format... that didn't work. I had to use fat16/fat formatted usb.... from there it worked very much like sony and didn't care whether the existing firmware was the same version or not, upon powering up, it began loading the file that was there. You might want to try this alternative format if the other doesn't work.Comment

Re: Sony KDL-48W600B software update with no picture
Both are the same page, hit the little plus by the usb instructions and details expand.Quit because THIS SITE LETS A ROGUE MEMBER TYPE ANY GARBAGE HE PLEASES AND THE POWERS THAT BE NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SO HE NEVER QUITS.

Re: Sony KDL-48W600B software update with no picture
I wish instead of the plus symbol they would have put "MORE". I will try the FAT16 format and re-extract the file to the USB per the instructions in the link.They call me......."threadkiller"Comment

Re: Sony KDL-48W600B software update with no picture
Just watched a video, looks like FAT is FAT16?They call me......."threadkiller"Comment

Re: Sony KDL-48W600B software update with no picture
I have the software extracted and saved on to a FAT or FAT16 formatted thumb drive. I used the extract to specified drive method in WinRAR. The proper file name is the only file on the thumb drive. I'm thinking this will work, it seems basically the same as extracting then copying to the thumb drive.
The only problem I see is the instructions say to "follow the instructions on the screen" which I am unable to do. I still see no alternate method of updating the TV with no display. This is all that is keeping me from trying it.They call me......."threadkiller"Comment

From this post: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...777#post852777
This appears to be a forced update procedure with no display interaction for a KDL-48R550C. I can find nothing specific to my model that this procedure might work. Can I use this same procedure for my TV?They call me......."threadkiller"Comment

Looks like a good method, I may have used it before too, I'd give it a shot.Quit because THIS SITE LETS A ROGUE MEMBER TYPE ANY GARBAGE HE PLEASES AND THE POWERS THAT BE NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SO HE NEVER QUITS.

Re: Sony KDL-48W600B software update with no picture
Followed exactly, no change.
I decided to get down to the buffer boards and check to see what voltage was where. Chassis ground referenced
12V is present on either side of the T-CON fuse
There's about .4 to 1.5V at the LVDS input test points on the T-CON and for the 12V supply there's 12.7v. Unfortunately.......
AVDD 17.5V test point has zero voltage
HVADD 8.8V test point has zero voltage
VCC 1.8V test point has .7mV
I'm not so sure a software update is going to fix that.Last edited by DXseekerMO; 02-04-2019, 08:36 PM.They call me......."threadkiller"Comment

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.

Hello, Last week I bought the 50" Sony X80j tv everything was working fine, untill I plugged the tv in a ups power supply 650va the tv remote control became unresponsive and the TV became laggy after a while the picture quality isn't the same as before the tv seems less brighter and the picture is somehow blurry, people's faces don't look as natural as before, there is a mini orange-pink tint to the edge of people's faces especially in NETFLIX Dolby Vision like in One Piece ep1 Alvida skin tone, my intention was to protect the tv but something went wrong I checked the ups with a multimeter,... -
5.5 year old 85 inch Sony Bravia X950G started showing gray horizontal lines across the bottom of the screen and the picture shifts slightly vertically when it happens. The lines sometimes get bigger/smaller vertically and bounce back. See the video for the problem. It seems to be happening after it warms up after an hour or so. Happens regardless of source. Right now there's nothing but power cable connected and it's happening. We did hook up a new Nintendo Switch to our HDMI switching receiver today, and played for a while with no issues, but this problem didn't occur til a few hours later while...

Hey Guys,
So a few months ago my Sony XBR 49x900e TV screen stopped displaying the picture but the backlight comes on and I still get sound when I use the remote and navigate to certain apps. I haven't checked anything with the meter yet but started with ordering some replacement boards. I've tried replacing the BMKS board (used from ebay) and also completed the firmware upgrade based on Nicks TV repairs youtube video. I've also replaced the TCON (twice) and PIB.
All of these changes have resulted in the same issue with no picture. I've also tried disconnecting the ribbons...
