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.
I have tried to force the software update with the Sony procedure but no success.
@Diah - any advice as what to try next?
I have a heat gun (solder rework station type & paint stripper type) and some re-work flux, is it worth trying the BGA heating fix?
Thanks in advance.
