New to me XBR65X900F with damaged screen and can't see anything. Connect to home network via enet and SONY's Video&TV SideView iOS app finds the TV on the network and offer full remote control. However, doesn't offer any screen grabs to see what I am doing.
Anymote app has a tiny screen capture stamp of the center of the screen which can help. But to connect to smart tv requires punching in the 6 digit code displayed on the TV screen. Unfortunately can't see it on the broken LCD.
Also have an LG47LN5700UH also with damaged LCD and can barely see a little bit. But was enough to punch in the 6 digit code and get tiny stamps of the screen center on Anymote. LG's LGTVRemote app provide a live stream of whats suppose to be on the TV screen (menu doesn't show, stream content doesn't show). But the record button will grab an image of the screen with menus using the record button. Repeatedly doing this allows me to drive the TV menu and even put in my wifi password.
Anyone know anyway to do this on the SONY? Just trying to test out the overall health of the boards before pulling them.
On the LG, the 6 digit PIN remains constant so once its known, any network smarttv app can just enter this PIN to connect. SONY's Video&TV SideView app unfortunately doesn't reveal this PIN. Also contacted SONY support with serial number and they don't have the PIN. Luckily, I can launch youtube via SONY remote app and arrow blindly to a video and launch it and hear it play. So the main board definitely appears healthy.
Anymote does provide the IP address after finding the smart TV but TV refused entry when I entered it on the browser.
