HI, my 6month old sony turned black today again for the 10th time in last few weeks. However the usual side buttons or reset button hasnt helped this time. It is still beepng and vibrating away when i get a message or fb notification, just all i can see is a black screen. Light is red when plugged in and green when not. Any ideas? thanks

AnonD-570848, 13 Aug 2016In addition to power + volume up that didn't work for me, I... moreMy phone is completely dead....will not return on using the holding the side buttons, have tried reboot touching the little yellow button on side near sim. Now sent to phone shop. The last few months I have had people commenting that my calls were noisy/ crackling and I put it down to my bad network reception in my area. I then got one small sudden dealth got it back so didn't think anything of it , Then about a month ago I had my phone turning off all day and I believed it was due to an update issue. Did back ups etc. then yesterday it over heated I think and just shut off and won't return...do I need to buy a new phone??

experienced 2 different scenario on my Z5.
1. with battery charged - suddenly died after I connected to a public wifi, revived by pressing power+upVol button.
2. with drained battery - it doesn't show any led lights while on plug for charging but I just keep it on plugged and keep on trying(press power+upVol, tried also the power+downVol) but nothing works. Then I just let it plugged for around 4hrs then tried again...and again pressing the same buttons. Finally it works! But POWER+CAM this time. tyL!

Mine xperia Z suddenly dies and i get fixed by pressing volume up button + power off button. And now im thinking about how often this issue can be repeated by pluging the phone on the charger and occuring the green/red light stuck issue (caused by LED notification). Any experience about that? Every feedback is welcome and it will be helpfull for everyone. Thanks

Had the similar issue, wouldn't turn on, plug charger in charge light shows red but nothing progresses from there.
Fixed it by holding volume up while plugging in a 2amp wall charger (and 2amp usb cord) continued to hold volume up for 15 seconds or so then bright lights it's on again :)
Happy days

Niyi, 26 Aug 2016Hello guys,can anyone help me,my xperia Sony keeps going of... moreMine literally did the same thing last night. The hard reset button didn't work however holding the power button and the volume up button got it working again.
Mine seems to switch off every time I try to charge it. Not sure why? Newly updated software I suspect...

In addition to power + volume up that didn't work for me, I opened the back cover and disconnected/reconnected the battery that also didn't help. (Dead Z3 Compact, no charging light, nothing)
