I have a sony Bravia mod. KDL-52V5100 and had same problem with HDMI ports. They just stopped working. I called Sony support they had me try several things like resetting the tv, nothing worked. I just tried your trick of un-plugging and it works. THANK YOU! I have a sony Bravia mod. KDL-52V5100 and had same problem with HDMI ports. They just stopped working.

I have a KDL-40SL 150 and my HDMI ports went out as well, I was worried about the high expense of getting the t.v. fixed and I came across this post. It worked for my set as well. Thanks so much for the useful information. I have a KDL-40SL 150 and my HDMI ports went out as well, I was worried about the high expense of getting the t.v. fixed and I came across this post.

I have a KDL-52V5100 that i purchased in December 2009. The HDMI 2 Port stopped working for no reason. Had no signal. The others were working fine. Followed this trick and it worked. Amazing.

Another success story! Bless the internet and the kind folks who take the time to share their experiences.

After a few days of talk with comcast tech support, power cycling devices, trying dif HDMI inputs and replacing the cable box to no avail.... the unplug the tv trick works... why didn't I think of power cycling the TV...Doh!

Thank you so much for this post. Just wanted to post to say that this fix seems to work with other sony devices. I have a Sony vpl-bw7 projector that had the HDMI port quit. I gave this a shot just as a hail mary not thinking it would work. 40 seconds later my picture was back. Guess the software has a reset function built in. Again, thank you.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU - I was so disappointed when my ports randomly stopped working right after my warranty expired - worked like a charm!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU - I was so disappointed when my ports randomly stopped working right after my warranty expired - worked like a charm!!

I just had the same problem on my kdl-32xbr9. I called SONY and they told me to DL and install the latest software update. Now it works beautifully again. The only problem was I went out and bought a new 32:" SONY before I called them and now I have 2 good, working sets.
Go to www.sony.com/esupport and look for the software (firmware) update for your set and follow the instructions. I was told that 99.9 % of the time, this is why the HDMI ports stop talking to your peripherals. This software update might be the answer. Cheers. I just had the same problem on my kdl-32xbr9.

Go to SONY website and find and download the software update for your set. This works. Cheers Go to SONY website and find and download the software update for your set. This works. Cheers

This worked for me as well with my Sony TV This worked for me as well with my Sony TV

unbelievable. This post just saved me from buying a new hdmi cable and or then calling vans to figure out what's going on. First our ps3 would get the no signal, then the cable tv started doing it as well. Tried this unplug, power button trick and everything seems to work fine. Awesome, thank you so much. unbelievable.

Same problem w/ my Sony kdl-55hx800. Ports went out 1 by 1. At first thought it was an issue w/ new cable provider (recently switched, then first port went out within a week). Then every port I plugged cable box into went out. Wife googled problem and found this link. 30 sec unplug/ 10 sec power up did the trick. Same problem w/ my Sony kdl-55hx800. Ports went out 1 by 1.

I have a Sony KDL-46V5100 TV and suddenly couldn't get my PS3 HDMI input on any port. Unplugging the TV and turning it on by holding the power button for 10 secs worked. Prior I tried everything I could find thinking it was the PS3 that was broken initially (unplugging the PS3, holding down the power on the PS3 for 6 secs to hear a total of 2 beeps while turning it on to reset the video settings, updating the PS3 firmware, bought new HDMI cables, tried incorporating an HDMI switch in the mix [ref:http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/ps3-hdmi-bla...]). I was about to try updating the TV's firmware when I stumbled on the solution. It's all working now and I was afraid to update the firmware since it's a non-reversible option though that might be the solution on your set up.

Worked for my Sony Bravia 52". Both my Directv and PS3 would no longer work, but the other devices (Apple TV, Xbox) worked fine. I brought in another directv receiver that worked for a couple of hours, but then quit. I brought down a small TV with HDMI inputs and everything worked on it, so I knew it was the TV. I searched the internet and found this solution. WORKED GREAT! I hope this remedy lasts. Thanks for posting! Worked for my Sony Bravia 52".

This worked for me as well. I don't have a power button on my Sony Bravia model, but I simply held down the power button on the remote. It turned on, I kept pressing, and it turned off. When I turned it back on, the problem was fixed. Thank you! This worked for me as well. I don't have a power button on my Sony Bravia model, but I simply held down the power button on the remote.

Not only has my hdmi port stopped working, my avi and sd input stopped too. I'm going to try the unplug thing and pray for the best! Not only has my hdmi port stopped working, my avi and sd input stopped too. I'm going to try the unplug thing and pray for the best!

Unplugging the tv worked for me! Thanks for the help y'all! I got to keep the 60" bravia in the living room instead of switching it out for the 32" vizio that my boyfriend wanted to do. I'm sure he'll pay me back for "fixing" the tv. Thanks again! Unplugging the tv worked for me! Thanks for the help y'all!
