KDL42W706B issues

[bb1971]

hi, new to the community. Purchased a new Sony Bravia 2 weeks ago model number in subject.

Since yesterday TV switches on and off- i've done the reset. Works, then decides to stop again.

Also stops when i'm using Netflix and lastly Plex is not working correctly. I can see it listed as Media Server but when i click on it freezes.

Today the front LED button (RED) flashing. Reset this again.

Any assistance appreciated....i really dont want to return this after 2 weeks.

Hi there

The clue to your problem is the Red Flashing LED light.  This is generally referred to blinking.  You count the number of blinks and this gives a technician a clue to where the problem occurs.  Unfortunately for you though, the blinks indicate a hardware problem of which I cannot assist.  Your best bet is to take this back to the retailer you purchased it from.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Cheers

Thanks. I think you're right. The problems have gone from bad to work- constant freezing, reset doesn't solve anything, even audio going.

hi, brought it back to retailer. they did a run through with some tests and encountered same problems. They said it was the first 42" they've brought back with hardware issues. I now have a new TV. Here's hoping everything works.

Thanks

It is rare to get a hardware problem with a very new TV, but not unheard of unfortunately.  Here's hopeing your new TV lasts for many years to come
