I tried ti update the firmware with a usb drive, but when I plugged it in and turned on the tv it wouldn't turn on anymore, now I'm going to have to take it back. It didn't even update, it just caused it to not turn on. Has anyone ever run into a similar problem like this? Now I'm afraid to update firmware if I replace it.
 
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Unless the update drastically increase the PQ of course :)
 
Well to be fair, a lot of the recent Sony Bravia TVs had this awful auto-dimming feature that couldn't be turned off due to a bug in the firmware... so updating is pretty much required for anyone who notices stuff like this.

That sucks, it's kind of an inherent risk whenever you update the firmware on any device.
 
Like stated before it is an inherent risk, although I have updated the firmware on my tv twice without problems. (sonyxbr9) I would return it if you can.
