A white patch has appeared on my Sony Bravia LCD TV.

A white patch has appeared on my Sony Bravia LCD TV. The patch is slowly growing in size and obstructing the picture. Unable to see what is under the patch. Does this forum also involve customer care? We bought the TV almost 3 years back. Not sure if the international warranty that I got still exists. Need to check. Appreciate help. Cheers!

I am having the same issue. My LCD's model is KLV-32BX300. I bought that TV 4 years back. The TV was working fine before that issue. The amazing thing is that the patch was initially a small spot and it size got increased within 2 days even the TV was powered off. Please help...

Macbook Pro connection to Sony Bravia LCD Color TV

I have a macbook pro and I'm trying to connect it a Sony Bravia LCD Color Television. The macbook detects the sony tv and brings up a dialogue box about it. However, on the tv it says no signal. Anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening?

I had the same problem with a 1080i Bravia Sony and a MacBook Pro connected with a DVI-HDMI lead - it turned out to be a very simple solution - you have to make sure you are looking at the right AV channel on the TV. The mapping of AV1-6 to the ports on the back is not obvious at all (in this case it was AV4 that was the correct AV port). The Bravia also has the option to skip AV channels if desired - so if in the preferences you have disabled ports then you need to make them available to skip through.
The picture is very sharp indeed with a DVI-HDMI lead - far far superior to a vanilla SVGA cable. Sound is automatically selected from an analogue input (2xphono) on one of the HDMI ports so make sure you select the right one on the back.
(p.s. just to emphasize - the DVI-HDMI does not map to the 'PC' port it is another AV channel)

How to connect hdmi cable on hp g60 to sony bravia lcd?

how to connect hdmi cable on hp g60 to sony bravia lcd?

Hello sohagshahin,
It appears that your HDMI port is not working on the notebook. I will try to assist with this.
Have you verified that the port indeed does not work by trying other tv's or monitors? (try one of each if possible).
Have you tried other HDMI cables?
This document may also help you: Resolving HDMI Display and Sound Issues (Windows 7 and Vista).
Let me know how things go.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Can I use Apple TV with Sony Bravia LCD TV?

Hello everyone,
I'm thinking of buying an Apple TV, but my TV does not have HDMI cable, it is a Sony Bravia LCD (here are the specs: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/sony-klv-20g400a-20/1707-6482_7-33664951. html)
It has component and composite as part of its video interface, but I don't know if it would be compatible with Apple TV or which connectors-adapter I would need to make it work.
I really hope I can use it with my TV, since it's really definitely new, it hardly has 3 years since I bought it. I really like what Apple TV has to offer, but I really can't afford to also change my television set
Thank you in advance for your replies

no if it would work it would only work with non DRM material so nothing bought or rented or netflix or the sports stuff would work
it's an absolute low range tv from a few years ago which is a bit of a streght for sony to put their label on

Connecting MacBook to Sony Bravia LCD tv

I really want to connect my MacBook to our tv to play region 1 dvd's and videos I've bought in iTunes. At the Apple Store they sold me 3 cables, 1 Mini-DVI to DVI connector, 1 DVI to HDMI cable and a cable for sound.
I've got these both hooked up to my tv but I can't get both sound and picture to show up. I have to choose between either the HDMI input or the AV (sound) input. Does anyone know how I can get them both?

I am trying to do the same . Connecting Mac Book to Sony Bravia. the audio is working fine but no display. After connecting the DVI - VGA adapter the mac screens blinks for a sec or so but then no display on the tv. The apples store sales person told me its plug & play as simple as that.
Pls help with some troubleshooting !

A White dot has appeared behind my iPhone 4 Display, What to do?

I suddenly noticed a rather eye catching white dot appear behind my display on my iPhone 4. I checked, and so has someone else, and were certain its not a pixel issue, but the fact that it seems to be behind the glass of the iPhone quite deep down. I can most likely get it replaced in the Apple Store, but I was just curious to know what it was, so if you know or have experienced it before, I would really appreciate that you comment below. i have left some pictures bewow as well (the red circel indicates the dot) but it's not as clear as in real life and is much worse in reality too.
Many thanks for any help!

who knows what it is, and frankly, who cares? Bring the phone into Apple for replacement.

A vertical white band has appeared on my screen and I don't know how to get rid of it.

About an inch wide, going from the top of the screen all the way to the bottom. It doesn't interfere with online activities or word processing, but it pulses and is distracting. I can't move it to the left or right. Shutting the computer down doesn't get rid of it. Never had this problem before.

Does the line appear all the time or just inside Firefox? If the line is on everything including your operating system interface (Win, Mac, Linux, etc) then you may want to try updating your graphics drivers, if that doesn't help it may lie in the monitor or in the graphics processor itself. Sounds like your graphics processor is either getting old or is over heating. Which is a sign its about to burn out. If its only in Firefox then it maybe a plugin you have installed or a toolbar that is not installed properly. Need additional information about your hardware to really troubleshoot that.

Macbook Pro to Sony Bravia NOT WORKING...PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I am trying to connect my *macbook pro* to my *Sony Bravia TV*.
So far I have the macbook pro - mini display to VGA converter - VGA cable - PC VGA socket in the back of the TV.
When selected on PC mode, the mac display turns blue for about 3 seconds then returns to its original state whilst the TV has a black screen with 'NO SYNC' in the top left hand corner.
The VGA cable is brand new and the mini display converter works as i used it on an old TFT monitor which died...hence why i am trying to connect it to my TV : )
Any tips/solutions would be amazing!
Thanks
Jon

Had the same problem with my 40" Sony Bravia LCD. I tried for ages to connect MiniDisplay to VGA. The TV would never recognise an input signal and the MacBook wouldn't acknowledge any change and I eventually gave up.
Recently, I checked the Bravia manual and the highest possible resolution for my model was 1360x768. So I set the MacBook display to one of the nearest: 1280x800. I connected the cord and then closed the MacBook lid for a few seconds and reopened it. The signal kicked in! The mac then gave me the option to reset the VGA to optimal display - I used the table at the back of the Bravia manual to reset it to the highest display compatible with the available mac options (1280x768, 60Hz). Now it works perfectly, but still only when first set to 1280x800, nothing less or more!

PowerBook G4 to Sony Bravia DVI-to-HDMI

I would like to us a Sony Bravia LCD HDTV as a primary monitor for a PowerBook G4 with a defective display. I have a DVI-to-HDMI cable. I hooked it all up and turned everything on. The Bravia displays this message: "Invalid Format". I've tried changing the resolution and other options in the display preferences, but nothing seems to please the Bravia. The Bravia has a 120 Hz refresh rate, but the PowerBook will not let me adjust the refresh rate above 60Hz. Is there a way to get the PowerBook to send the Sony Bravia correctly formatted input over the DVI-to-HDMI cable?

I am mad 'cause I have been a big fan of apple and now this. I got the last version of the cinema display and now I hear althought there arem so called standards that even with apple products there are lots of issues. I have a TV box (Swiss) and just tried to get my display running.
In vain. No knows to solve the problem. OK.. But I haven't even got an answer what the problem is. It sounds easy. Take a converter from HDMI to DVI (which should be compatible according to Apple/swisscom/connector producers a.s.o) Nothing not even something is coming out.
I bet you don't have a solution...

Firmware for Sony Bravia. What?

I was planning to buy a Sony Bravia LCD HDTV, 32" from Best Buy. I was reading the reviews and a lot of owners are saying that I would need a Sony "firmware update for video/audio" that can be downloaded from Sony. What exactly are they talking about? I'm not too TV/computer literate, and downloading/ flashplayer firmware might not be something that I would want to tangle with.
Thanks in advance for information about this issue.

Since alot of the new tvs have what were once computer components within them, such as mother boards, the component may be in need of updates in order for the tv to run properly. The manufacturers will create these updates in order to keep your tv running at its best. The updates are to keep your tvs operations running smoothly. There are also firmware updates for certain blu-ray disc players as well.
The updating of the firmware on the tv can be fairly simple if you have a newer computer/laptop that has an easily accessible usb port. You would check the tv manufacturer's website for any firmware updates listed under your tv model number and if you were to find an update available download it onto a flash drive and connect the flash drive to the usb port on the tv. From there you would go through a few menus in order to get the update to load onto the tv.
Manufacturer customer support can often walk you through applying the updates to the tv.
Hope this answers your question.

How to connect with sony bravia.

Hi,
I'm trying to connect my Mac pro with my Sony Bravia LCD TV. I bought a MiniDP to VGA cable and I already had a VGA extension to connect with my TV. I used to use that cable to connect my other laptop and worked ok with frequent "no synchronisation". Once I connected all, nothing happened. I restarted the PC but nothing happened. I tried to play around with all connection, but nothing happened. I do use windows XP in my mac pro as well and it didnt work their either although my other PC working fine with same VGA cable. I'm not very sure my MiniDP to VGA cable is working or not? Is there anyway I can check its working. Also, someone (sorry forgot the name) in the forum said, HDMI works better then VGA. What do I have to do to connect my PC through HDMI. Is there any direct cable to connect MiniDP and HDMI? Thanks for your help.

The best way to test if the VGA adapter is bad or not is to try it with another display, preferably a computer monitor instead of a TV. If it doesn't work with a monitor, then that's stronger evidence the adapter is bad.
There are MiniDP to HDMI adapters. Here's an example of one. I believe this company will ship internationally. You might be able to find UK sources for similar adapters.

MacBook Pro to Sony Bravia ... Flickering blue screen

Hello everyone,
I've just bought a E-kom MiniDisplay to HDMI adapter as well as a full HD HDMI cable, to plug my MBP on my Sony Bravia TV, and I've got an image, but a blue screen keeps on coming and going every few seconds. Does anybody knows why and how to resolve the problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Can't get sound when connecting my Lenovo N500 to my Sony Bravia LVD HDTV

I've recently purchased a 42inch Sony Bravia LCD HDTV and have been able to get pitcure just fine on the screen, but sound is another thing all togehter... can anyone give me any pointers on getting sound from my Lenovo to my TV?
Thanks.
Joe

One last comment, I've tried using both HDMI (which I prefer)... but get's me no sound. I've also tried to use the VGA but I do believe I would need to use a sound cable as well... Is the HDMI output on the Lenovo N500 just for video at this point?

Sony 46" LCD country of origin

In my internet research, I have not been able to determine where any of the 46 inch Sony Bravia LCD televisions are manufactured. A local Samsung distributor told me to avoid the XBR6 model, because it is made in China and parts are not available in the U.S. I'm not sure if this is true, but I would like to know where the various models are made before making my decision. I was also expecting that some models were still manufactured here in Pittsburgh until the factory closes in February.
Please reply if you can tell me where any of these models of Sony Bravia 46" LCD televisions are manufactured:
V-series
W-series
Z-series
XBR6
Thank you.

So a SAMSUNG employee told you to avoid a SONY (competitor) model and you believed him?
