Ok so a little bit of history, TV is a KD-43XF7073, at the beginning of June I noticed a software update to v8.881.
I went ahead and installed the update (this was the first software update for about a year), the update installed and everything seemed to be OK. About three hours later the TV stopped responding to any commands from the remote control (batteries were fine, the remote could operate another Sony TV I have), the buttons on the back of the TV did not operate either. I unplugged the TV and waited 5 minutes before powering up again, there was a picture and sound, but the info banner would not disappear, still no response from the remote. Tried several times TV would not respond to remote control even though the white LED on the TV was blinking in response.
Anyway the TV needed repaired, it is now back with a new mainboard (apparently a common problem)
and is working. However I see Sony have a new software update after only three weeks from the last, v8.882 is available. My question is this, should I go ahead with the update, have any of you updated to this new version,
on a similar model, without issue.
Thank You.
