I've had my HDR-FOX T2 for about 8 years with no issue, and is running the latest official firmware 1.03.12.
It's now started crashing/freezing frequently, requiring a power cycle, remote and front button have no effect. By crashing I mean black screen but front panel is still lit up so not shutdown. After power up it will sometimes die after only a few seconds of watching a TV channel but can last maybe 10 mins. I suspected the HDD but have managed to get as far as the System menu and have performed HDD Tests which found no faults. I've also opened it up and cleared dust.
Any suggestions on cause and possible fixes? I'm wondering if it could be fan related?
