th 55 and wifi

[jiminet]

i just start about wifi!
BUT when trying to scan a wifi acces point with Coma/wireles lan setup/autoconnect and Scan:
the screen freeze, and i can't do anything else than a soft reset.
Any idea?
Sorry for my froggy english!
Thanks

Hi jiminet, welcome to 1src!

I've experienced problems like that using COMA before, too. Instead of going through COMA, see if it helps by just going to Setting->Prefs->Network and selecting Wireless LAN, Details..., Scan. It's a little more cumbersome this way, but I've never had problems finding a wifi signal (assuming there is one, of course. . .)

jiminet, yes welcome to 1src from me too.

Just to let you know that I have no trouble going through CoMa per your method.

Some people did have bad WiFi radio. I had to replace their motherboards. However, I can't do it for TH55/E1s as they are hard to get and very expensive.

Yes - I did. I had two TH55's replaced under warranty for this problem in the first year (both E1 models). If I remember correctly, the symptoms were attempting to use Wi-Fi caused the device to freeze with the Bluetooth light on.

It may be worth trying Sony in Europe to see if they do a fixed price repair here.
