I pressed a button by mistake and my Sony tv has no picture. Now has small box left hand upper corner with A and lines like wifi icon

Think it was input select button which was pressed but not sure. Return buttons do not restore picture it's fixed with black screen and the small icon in upper left corner. Box has capital A inside and wifi like lines coming from it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

    I looked through this manual available on line of a similar Sony Bravia (how different could they be, just trying to help):
    https://docs.sony.com/release/KDL-55HX72...

    See if you can fine "Home" button on remote, from there click "Watching TV" and look for "Rovi On Screen Guide." That may show what is available to watch on TV. I kind of think it has been stuck in wifi mode and is looking for a wifi to connect to. Good Luck.

Try pressing to get channel 3. My tv has inputs for external source which is line 1 or line 2, and is found as a channel below channel 2. Seems like it would be a channel maybe.

Testimonial: "Thanks for prompt advice, have managed to get it fixed by pressing digital key, delighted"

  • Joan Duguid Jun 05, 2016

    Tried channel 3 but no luck. Think I have mucked it up as went into settings and did see channels, don't know how to get back to that but probably changed setting. This was after tv stuck. Video not playing either. Will have to study manual but not hopeful

Try the RETURN button on the remote to get back to viewing.
Get the manual at Sony KDL 40S2010 Manuals See page 11 for remote control keys and page 38 for further trouble shooting if necessary

The picture on my screen is in the upper left hand corner .... I have changed the aspect ratio from wide to custon to theater and the picture still stays in the upper laft hand corner

That's weird. If your remote has a "live TV" button, try pressing that. If not, all I can tell you is that the problem is in the aspect selection.

NO PICTURE ON TV / JUST BLUE SCREEN / W/RED SYMBOL.Have an Advent TV -- seems locked up, can't get a picture, just a blue screen with a red symbol in upper right hand corner

Look to the owner manual if you have it as it will likely have the answer you need--if no manual Google the model number with "manual" to try to locate the owner manual---if get or have it read it carefully as it sounds like to me the parental lock is on or something similar to it.

Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to delete/remove titles displaying in the upper left hand corner of my TV screen and right hand corner? For example, if I am watching a program on CITY, the title...

I believe the "Caption Vision" is selected. By pressing the "Display" button on the remote it should toggle through the choices until "Display Off" appears. That should be all.

Small black box in upper left corner of Sony TV - need to remove

I had a similar problem on my Toshiba Regza but trying my fix couldn't hurt. I use a satellite dish for TV (if you do the same this might work)... I turned off my receiver, took the programming card out, cleaned it with my shirt (especially the part that looks like a computer chip), put it back in the receiver, turned it back on and when everything reinitialized the black rectangle was gone.

Hope this helps.

Unknown icon

I had the same problem for awhile too.
The box is your call equalizer settings.  The descending line indicates "boost bass" and the ascending line indicates "boost treble"
This usually only shows when you have your BB headset connected, to change the settings:
-plug in your headset -make a call, (voice mail works good for this) -press your menu button -select "Enhance Call Audio"
-make your selection
You'll see your choice on the screen
Let me know if this helps 208E019D
