Sony Bravia KD-55X8505C issue

Bought a Sony Bravia 55x8505c in Sweden the other day. Updated it yesterday.

And now it flickers a bit on the right of the screen. Upper and lower right.

I filmed it at it's worst. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nP-06UEP_A

I turned it off for a while, and then it seemed OK, but there are still a small flicker now and then (minutes between). Quite annoying.

It's like a "box" of flicker. Thought it was a buggy pop up window at first, but looks like "white noise"-ish.

Any ideas what to do? 

Please help.

Hi there

 

Does this occur all the time, on any input source?

 

As you have just updated the TV, can you do a factory reset?  I have seen a factory reset cure many weird issues, so worth a try.

hi, 

thanks for getting back to me on this.

Nothing was connected. Happens both when I'm watching something through a HDMI port, on a usb memory stick as well as the youtube application.

I've tried doing a factory reset as well rebooting (by holding down the power button), but none of it helped. 

While the flicker has become less rampant than in the video I posted, it's still happening. When I'm in the main menu it happen's rarely but when I'm watching a video it every other minute. 

Perhaps it's a hardware issue?

Hi there

 

Unfortunately the only thing left to assume is Hardware issue as you say.  Time to contact the retailer and ser if you can exchange it.
