Sony Xperia M won't turn on

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi, so I've been having this issue for a couple of days now. It started when the phone started to freeze for no reason. So I contacted someone at the Sony mobile site and they advised a software repair which I did. After the software repair the phone seemed ok....for a few hours. It now won't turn on and is constantly doing a loop of the Sony start up screen and a black screen. I've tried taking the battery out and have left it out all morning. The battery was fully charged. I've tried turning it back on but still nothing. Still only getting the Sony start up screen. Any help or advice would be great.

SUS no longer exists but would have undoubtedly fixed it for you.
A repair through PCC is the only thing you can try, after that it needs to go in for a repair.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

 Hi guess it's back to the manufacturers to be repaired or O2 😞

 

Edit: I have found this on the sonymobile website and may be worth a try? let us know how u get on! slight_smile

 

Do this:connect to wall socket,charge for 2 hours and force shutdown: power button+volume up until the phone vibrates 3 times.Repair with SUS:

You could try a repair by connecting it to PC Companion but I'm sure one of our xperia experts will be able to advise you better so I'll mention @viridis and hope he picks this up soon.

If your phone is still under warranty, contact Sony directly. O2's repair facility has a less than stellar reputation. If you have to send it in for repair, wherever you send it to make sure you have photographic evidence of the physical condition of the phone before sending it off. Also send it by registered post for it to be signed for on delivery.
