Hi arauvik
I think the best thing to do in your situation is to contact Sony Support directly.

Hi there
A memory card reader will not work in the TV, therefore the it will not be recognised. What you can do though if you havnt got a USB drive is to connect the TV up to your network (ethernet cable to your ISP's router) and update the firmware that way.
Updating the firmware is generally the first step in the troubleshooting process (as it rules any potential/fixed bugs out of the equation). Saying that, if the blurays previously worked, and now they dont, this may indicate a fault, if they are newer dics, the firmware update may assist.
Personally I would get that firmware updated anyhow. You can pick up an 8GB USB drive for just over £6 on Amazon or even at your local supermarket (ASDA, Tesco etc)
The problem with DVD/Bluray players built into the TV, is that if the drive fails, its generally cheaper to purchase a new seperate Bluray player itself, as they are uneconomical to repair (unless under warranty)
Cheers
We have Kdl-32ex40B and we´re having also problems with DVD/Bluray player built into the TV. Player suddenly desided not to recognize the disc. Neither old nore new discs which work properly e.g. in computer´s DVD slot. We have a feeling that the problem appeared after the latest uppdate! The automatic update is on and the latest released in August 2013 is downloaded. Somewhere during the autumn we found out the problem with DVD/Blueray player (cause we use it quite rarely). We haven´t found a solution to the problem. And, of course the quarantee period is due
So, good advices would be handy.

I also had problems with the DVD player in my TV back in 2013. This was replaced and the Firmware was upgraded which resulted in my Dongle no longer working.
I switched to a newtork cable, for online features and all was well until recently, when the DVD player stopped working again.
Did you ever get your problem resolved? I suspect there is an issue with the DVD player used in these machines, as two years is not a great deal of time for them to break.
