Hi i have just bought a car and it has the Sony xlod 50 w x 4 the display lights keep flashing but I cant get the radio to work. i tried resetting but i only got as far as setting the clock.

hi there,if led lights blinking maybe your phone just gone to "sleep of death"... just remove the battery and wait for a while,..if problem still persist after boot,try sony update service on your pc(resets all your data)it works for me,....goodluck!

Is your warranty purchased from Sony itself or from the place of purchase i.e. Walmart extended warranty? Return it to the place of purchase. They should have your PS3 serial number and can look it up. Once they verify you have the extended warranty, they should take care of it.

If you purchased direct from Sony, try this link:

Addressing the actual probelm. I am not sure if this would work but turn off the PS3, Once light turns red, touch the power button and keep holding as light turns green then goes back to red. The try restarting the PS3. Thats a video reset. It may work, it may not.

I had the same problem.
Go to the Dos Prompt via run cmd
format d: or whatever your drive letter is.

This worked for me.

PS these flash drives are copies and are made in China. I just bought one for $7.50 Yes that is seven dollars and 50 cents.

i have similar. All gone off and red light flashing. Did you get yours sorted?

First I would try to disconnect the negative cable and then reconnect the cable. See if it resets.

Have the ame exact problem!!! Someone please hel us

Try pulling it out of the bracket and checking the fuse or jiggling the wires ;o

You mentioned that the display says ALL OFF..and if that's the case just press the source (SRC) button until the display says either TUNER TAPE OR CD!

Reset
Update Firmware
Double-check with Sony
Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware.
Wizard.
If fails, then the player is officially dead

turn radio off, and press the "audio" botton until clock is displayed. then click it again shortly till you see "FM 100" on the display, press > (side arrow, now it should switch to "FM 50". long press on the "audio" to save and exit. afterwards it should work fine.
