Sony Sony XBR-65X950H 65-Inch 4K Full Array LED Smart TV STUCK STANDBY Error Fix: TV Won't Turn On — Stuck in Standby

Error code STUCK STANDBY on the Sony Sony XBR-65X950H 65-Inch 4K Full Array LED Smart TV means: TV Won't Turn On — Stuck in Standby. The TV shows a solid red standby LED but will not respond to the power button on the remote control or on the TV itself. The TV appears completely unresponsive. First, replace the batteries in the remote control or try pressing the physical power button directly on the TV body (usually located on the bottom edge or rear panel). If the TV still will not turn on, perform a power reset: unplug the TV from the wall outlet, press and hold the power button on the TV (not the remote) for 30 seconds to discharge residual power from internal capacitors, wait 2 full minutes, then plug the TV back in and try powering on. If the standby LED begins blinking in a pattern when you attempt to power on, carefully count the number of blinks before it pauses — the blink count indicates a specific hardware failure.
