Of course after resetting the tv 26 times it came back but often all options in the settings bar just disappear. So I can’t change picture settings, audio output, picture off, really everything becomes unavailable when this happens. Many options become unavailable in general settings too. Sonys troubleshooting ends at restarting with the only other suggestion being a factory reseat, which again, becomes unavailable when this happens.
A reset or plug pull used to fix it quicker but now it takes about 30 minutes of constant resets until it works.
I started to notice it happening randomly and thought just leaving it on and shutting the picture down at the end of the night instead of turning off which seemed to work for a few days but there’s obviously a different trigger somewhere.
Is my tv dying? I think I’m a little over 5 years.
This used to affect inputs too in them not being available in the input bar or not opening when selected but I kept trying figure out what might be different to break it and since I changed my ps5 input away from VRR input, that hasn’t happened.
