Did you try Dick's suggestion in post #33?

Sort of....I can lift the right side next to the RF in area, look with a led torch, but still not see release points.

I dearly want to open it, and will try all suggestions again.

take a thin piece of plastic (ie. old credit card, guitar pick, etc) and use it to slide under the area along edges that are shown in your post 26 pictures and the "exploded view" of things posted earlier.

Related to your other question about the "dimples" on the back cover. To me, those indicate some sort of "standoff peg" or "pin" that may go into a female receiver to "lock" the back down.... but they could equally be just "free standing pegs" that sit against some base material to prevent the back from being compressed against the electronics.

SUCCESS...

The back is now off.

The method was what everyone was telling me, ala, seperate the two halves by using a guitar type plectrum.

I actually used an old plastic VISA card, and worhed from where the leg opening was, inserting the card and popping off the first clip, and then inserting the card in that opened area, and slid it around the same way you separate the screen from a tablet or taking the edge off a mobile phone.

The top was secured via some clips, which required me to loosed the whole bottom of the panel off, hold it up about 2", and then give the back panel a short sharp jab to lift it off the top clip retainers.

I hope these pictures make sense.



Thank you to all that have helped, as I appreciate your efforts enormously, and would not have got here without you.

This weekend I will swap out the part and hope I selected the right one?

I will report back.

Nice, it's really too bad they didn't bother to focus on building the rest of the tv with quality in mind, INSTEAD of just building the back cover like Fort Knox. DAMN I lost the pool had 99 but you got it in only 65

I take it that you are not keen on Sony one bit 💣

If I do no good with this one, I'm indecisive of whether to get another Sony I have liked them as they are fully android, and the only other choice over here for full android seems to be Hisense.

I have some android boxes and am also considering just to get a better panel without android built in, and let the box do the android on it's own

It all depends on how/if this one works when trying a new power supply board, and hoping that was the culprit...

Well I have a sony kdl from 2009 that gets used quite a bit every day and all it ever needed was a firmware update, from what I see here and other forums, looks like lately sony beat samsung for reliability hands down no contest, can't speak about oled tvs as I don't trust them, too many panel issues, some call it the "panel lotto" hit or miss, looks like mostly miss is my take on it.

I think i would put a good effort into fixing it, looks like some pretty solid reviews on it:

Oh shoot.

I replaced the power board but cannot get it to work...same symptoms...no lights, no nothing.

I have pressed the power button on the remote for 5 seconds...nothing. Tried pressing power/ home together...nothing. Tried using the power switch on the back ..nothing.

Stuck again. Grrrr

Re: Remove rear panel Sony Bravia KD-65X7500F

1) So what Voltage testing have you done before replacing the power supply board?
2) Can we see good clear pictures of the whole backside of the TV showing all the boards so we can see how they are connected together?

Here are from photo's from today.

No I haven't used a multimeter to test, as a little scared of electricity.

I hate in-line pictures. You cannot use the 'Go Advanced' attachment function?

put the original parts back in, or you may find yourself looking for more than 1 fault.
a lot of boards sold online are untested from broken tv's

Re: Remove rear panel Sony Bravia KD-65X7500F

Yes, I guess I may as well put the old power board back in it now.....so demoralised at the moment....

Maybe try the usb update: https://www.sony.com.au/electronics/...loads/00016672

Re: Remove rear panel Sony Bravia KD-65X7500F

So you have no indicator light on the front of the tv when you try to power on or when tv is just plugged in but off, which is standby with either board??
