This one, I think, the issue is with the HDMI port or the chip that causes it to be able to send a signal to the TV. Again, not obvious what the problem was - it might have been a power issue as I lost power for a few minutes to my house recently, but on the other hand, it's plugged into a surge protector, so that doesn't make sense. This time it's not WLOD'd as far as I can tell, because I'm still able to get it to produce a green / orange light, the TV just has no signal. I suspect that it's possible to get it fixed, but as far as I'm aware, any shop that could fix it is currently shut down for COVID reasons.
I dunno, maybe if I sent both of them in to Sony they'd give me enough credit between the two of them for a new one, assuming they can refurbish the existing units somehow (although that's probably not worth their time at this point).
