Sony Bravia A8G turn on issue.

[Fishinfan]

Hi, I have had my tv for less than a year. I haven’t got an Ariel in the room so stream tv using the WiFi. I have a Sonos beam and surround speakers connected. My problem is the length of time it takes for me to get a picture once I turn the tv on, sometimes I can wait up to 30 mins for the screen to come on. If I turn on Netflix I have sound almost immediately but no picture. Does anyone know why this is happening or if I can fix this. After spending around £1400 on my 4K tv it’s really annoying having to wait this length of time.

Thanks.

That sounds painful.

Do you have the latest software version on your AG8?

Hi, just checked and I don’ t have the latest firmware updated. I have version 6.6575 even though the auto update tells me everything is up to date. I only have an iPad and so cannot do the download via a flash drive 😩. Any idea how long the new update has been out or when I might get the auto download. Thanks for the help.

As my tv is “smart” and Android, could I download the update to a flash drive via this?  Thanks.

The steps only mention using a PC/laptop, but as long as you can get the file downloaded, extracted then copied to a flash drive, you should be okay.

Hi, I’ve updated my firmware to the latest version and my issue seems a little better. I still get sound almost straight away, but a picture takes way too long to come on to the screen. What should I see when I turn on? The Sony logo, the colour’d circles or straight on to my Home Screen? At some point I have seen all of these, also what should the front led light do? It seems to fade on and off, then get brighter oh and the tv clicks as though I I have switched it off.

Hi Fishinfan, try a factory reset, it settles the updates and works magic. Let us know if that worked.
