HDMI ports stopped working after firmware update (v6.8022) on TV a80j

After updating the firmware to Android 12 on Sony TV Bravia XR-55a80j, the HDMI ports have stopped working. When I select the HDMI port as the source, I can't see the image sent from the connected PS5, Apple TV and Sky Box Q.

Changing the port or cable does not help. I tried changing the HDMI standard, enhanced, Dolby Vision, and VRR modes, but none of the settings helped. I also tested Disabling CEC (Bravia sync), clearing the ExternalInputServices application data and cache, turning everything off, and plugging in one device at a time. All without any result.

Is there anything else I can do, or should I wait for the new firmware?

If the TV is out of warranty, does support take care of fixing the issues caused by the firmware update?

I was able to solve the issue by conducting a factory reset. Unfortunately, I had to set up everything from scratch.
