Bravia TV Home button not working?

[JayPDC]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows why the Home button on my Sony Bravia TV remote no longer seems to work?

It used to bring up my options for apps and YouTube etc, but doesn't seem to be working now?

I have my TV linked to a Sky+ Box and the TV is less than a year old.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

I had this problem for years and found that to enter the home screen I had to press the button at the top left of my Sony remote to show the input options, at which point as a result of entering the TV navigation the home button would work.

Cannot Access iPlayer when pressing Home button. Infuriatingly Photo Sharing Plus comes up! How do i delete this?

I have found a solution for this eventually 🤣🤣

So.....

If your home button doesn't work , do a factory reset.

To do a factory reset without the home button you :

1. Unplug the TV

2. On the TV itself - there should be 3 buttons (volume up , power , volume down)

3. Hold down the Power button and the Volume down button at the same time whilst plugging in the TV  (I had to get the wife involved ha!)

4. Keep the both Buttons held down until you see the Sony Logo appear on the screen (let go of buttons)  from there a factory reset will begin , you will have to setup country , wifi password etc again however , you will have your home button back and your TV will be updated to the latest software.

Hope this helps someone 🙏
