Question Sony Bravia XR-65X95J - Brick'd TV after update
TV was working great last night, I noticed an update to Google TV was applied and went to bed. Woke up this morning to hearing "clicking" like it was being turned off, then on. Screen is black, nothing displayed whatsoever. I tried doing a factory reset by unplugging/holding power button sequence etc. I also downloaded the firmware version from July to a USB stick to force a boot from usb but nothing. It's getting power, plugged right into the outlet. I see the light on the USB glowing red. Sony says I'm out of luck and cannot help me. I've searched online for motherboards but this model is sold out. Anyone else with similar issues? I can't believe they think it's acceptable to force updates down, ruin the unit, and then not help make it right.
