In March I had an issue with the remote control not responding (I HAVE A NORMAL BUTTON CONTROLLER NOT TOUCH SCREEN). I was able to get it working alright by restoring it to factory settings. The remote has alway been kinda wonky...have to raise it up sometimes to get it to register.
Last Thursday out of the blue the remote stopped responding again. THis time the ambient light started pulsing white continuously. I tried unplugging it for 3 minutes and plugging it back in. No joy. I have an app on my iphone that lets me control it through wifi so I managed to use that to again restore it back to factory settings, but unfortunately when it rebooted I was stuck at the language selection screen because the remote would not work nor the buttons on the back of the tv...nor the app because the wifi was reset on the tv as well!
I gave up on it, unplugged it from the wall and plugged all my peripherals into my old sony tv to use in the meantime (thank god I had a backup). I contacted Sony but they are of no help..just keep asking me to restore it and what firmware Im running etc...everytime I get another response via email from them its a different person (annoying). Yesterday (Sunday) for whatever reason I decided to plug it back in and try it again. The remote started working again, the light is no longer flashing. I successfully restored it and its functioning on the most part but there is still some lag in the remote. I contacted Sony Centre and they are sending out a technician on friday, but Im afraid that since its not acting up right this second they wont do anything and Ill go through the same thing again.
Can anyone give me any clue as to what would cause this to happen?? What does a pulsing white light mean? and why would the remote suddenly not work...for 3 days!!!
Page 18 of the manual that came with your TV would have told you :-
"The illumination LED flashes white while the software is updating. Do not unplug the mains lead during the software update."
As you did the latter, you are very fortunate not to have bricked the set,

Hello again everyone.
Sorry I haven't responded in awhile, I've been busy unfortunately.
I finally got my PlayStation 4 Firmware sorted about two weeks ago, well most of it. I can now install .pkg's from other sources and such but still can not get rid of things I don't want.
Thank you proxy severers :smileyinfo:
My set (X83C) is HDR compatible.

Mine displays HDR for around 3 seconds at present then reverts to it's normal picture settings, but according to my PC, when it sends it, it's there, even though it only works briefly. 
I'm going to go and tinker with Android N, next as that will be our next big update, I could'nt get it going last time I tried, but will see if there's any pre requsit's that I must observe first, before trying again.
I'm looking forward to it as then I can use a custom launcher and chose whats on my set and what isn't.
It will also make YouView obsolete, as Android will be the software that does the recording for me, not an app based in it. I'm also hoping once I've got N on my set I can start to get more app's working correctly without having to use developer mode to do so. 
I know for the last several pages here on the forums most people are saying take the sets back, and they are not worth it. I don't care. I'm more than happy with mine and I still believe it's future proof for many years to come. (Have you ever seen the size of the original X1 processor? - we have one of them in the sets! + Future proof) 
Kind regards all 
Richard
