    Just recieved my new Z540. I switched it once and it blacked out for a couple of seconds and successfully switched.

    But now, when you switch from stamina to speed physically, nothing happens. I can only seem to switch when I turn it off and turn on to automatically enter the mode I chose while it's off. Perhaps the software that controls the switch is corrupted?

    Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

    Happen to me few times, when I was in Stamina mode, I couldn't switch to Speed mode. What you should try is to start in Speed mode, then try to switch back and forth to see if it's working. Than start in Stamina mode and try vice versa.

    I guess this is some glitch of Sony control utility, but as I said this has happen few times so no big deal to me.
