Hi all,
I recently udated the firmware on my a1 from 1.32 to 2.02 (through 1.35 and 2.01). I have just dicovered that bluetooth and wifi appear to be broken. Googling the problem suggests I am not alone, and I should have done my research before upgrading. This is infuriating! |

That's very frustrating Jonas!
Does the camera still take pictures and it's only the wireless network which is not working!? That seems to be a hardware error surfacing after running though all these FW updates (especially v2.01) and for sure this is annoying. I guess you need to send it in for service to get the HW fixed and have working Wifi and BT function again - see Sony support here. |

The camera works fine otherwise.
I had understood that the broken hardware issue was fw2.00. The 2.02 was released in June long after the issue was known and per Sony instruction: Important precautions for updating from Ver. 1.32 or earlier Update order: Ver. 1.35 → Ver. 2.01 → Ver. 2.02 I could not have imagined that they would force users through an update process which was known at the time to destroy hardware? I am not getting the error message, I just cannot get it to connect through wifi or bluetooth.... Edited by Jonas A-R - 08 December 2024 at 18:04 |
