Fix- Sony Google TV Keyboard Not Showing Up!
0If the onscreen keyboard on your Sony Google TV is not showing up, there could be several underlying causes, but fortunately, there are a few straightforward solutions. In this video, you’ll learn how to troubleshoot and fix the issue, ensuring you can input text and navigate your TV without problems. Whether the problem stems from input settings, connected peripherals, or app malfunctions, following these steps will help restore the onscreen keyboard.
First, make sure you are using the correct input method and that no external keyboards or mice are connected. Sometimes, pairing a Bluetooth keyboard or plugging in a wired keyboard can prevent the onscreen keyboard from appearing. Disconnect any external devices and try using the remote control to trigger the keyboard again.
Next, you should check your keyboard settings. Navigate to Settings, then System, and go to Keyboard settings. Under Current Keyboard, select Gboard, which is the default virtual keyboard for Sony Google TVs. Ensuring Gboard is active usually resolves most issues related to the missing keyboard.
If the problem persists, consider uninstalling and reinstalling Gboard. Go to Settings, select Apps, then See All Apps, and find Gboard. Uninstall it, then reinstall it from the Google Play Store on your TV. A fresh installation can fix any corrupted files that might be causing the issue.
Another basic but effective solution is to perform a power cycle. Turn off the TV, unplug the power cord, wait for at least 20 seconds, and then plug it back in. This process clears temporary glitches from the system that might prevent the keyboard from showing.
Finally, check for system software updates by going to Settings About System Software Update. Installing any pending updates can often resolve compatibility and performance issues. If all else fails, contacting Sony Support at https://www.sony.com/electronics/support for further assistance is recommended.
