Sony KD 65X8509C Boot Loop

[EliteElectronics]

Hi All

I have a Sony 65" Android TV stuck in a boot loop. I have seen other threads where people have been talking about this problem on other models. This TV won't boot past the android circles before rebooting. It is running 433 software. I have tried the Vol - and Power forced reset enough times to to know that its not working.
On ebay there are several guys offering a chip replacement service but has anyone managed to identify which chip it is on the board?

Thats Great.

I have found the Emmc SK hynix h26m52103fmr .
Seems to be a common fault.
This guy sells a pre programmed Emmc

Android TV has often software blocks, i guess it s not an hardware problem, only a data loss, Android devices have no possibility to self repair these things due to the lack of a keyboard and root level user access.. so it's needed a special interfacing by a technician and a PC..
