Bravia TV Home button not working?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows why the Home button on my Sony Bravia TV remote no longer seems to work?

 

It used to bring up my options for apps and YouTube etc, but doesn't seem to be working now?

 

I have my TV linked to a Sky+ Box and the TV is less than a year old.

 

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi

I just switched off BRAVIA Sync Control and everything back to normal. 

Go to TV mode. Press Home > Settings > system settings > setup > BRAVIA Sync Settings > BRAVIA Sync Control > Off

The problem with your solution is you say press home>settings etc. Well as it says in the question 'home button does not work' so this won't help.

 

Has anyone found a way to get the home button working yet all I can find is a way to get iplayer etc using youview then blue button for players but no way to get into setting etc

 

Cannot upgrade the software as the Home button is needed

 

Tried disabling HDMI CEC no difference

 

Looks like some update has bricked the TV

Has anyone had any success in getting the home button to work? I don’t have Sky and wondered how to resolve this issue?

Hi @D3bbyp

 

I would give Sony a call. The last time it happened to me a couple of years ago they simply asked me to key a sequence of keys on the remote to get it to work. https://services.sony.co.uk/supportmvc/en/Contact/Email

I had this issue last night and as you say how can you do anything without the home button!

in the end I did a factory reset. Press the help button and from there go to using my tv, settings and from there you will be able to navigate to storage and data. I did a factory reset. ( takes a while) now everything is back to new and all works

I had this problem for years and found that to enter the home screen I had to press the button at the top left of my Sony remote to show the input options, at which point as a result of entering the TV navigation the home button would work.
