Strange experiance with Xperia Z2 Tablet

[SWFlyerUK]

Hi folks,

Just thought I'd share an experiance I've had this year with the above device.

Some of you probably saw I posted a help question relating to a sleep of death issue.

All of a sudden, after restarting the tablet, it wouldn't turn on. The reset button was useless as were the steps given to me by Sony support. My tablet was a complete brick; just a paperweight - no vibration, LED was dead, nothing...

I contacted Sony regarding a repair on several occasions but never heard back so I chucked the tablet under my bed and with a discount code for the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact in hand, I ordered one as a replacement to my Z2 Tablet.

I've checked the Z2 Tablet once or twice over the past 2 months and still, absolutely nothing, until this morning....

When searching for a pair of headphones, I remember I'd left the above tablet there, so in a last ditch attempt, I tried switching it on. Nothing. I then proceeded to plug the USB cable on and to my shock the LED notification light turned red.

I left the device on charge for a few minutes when the screen fired up and the tablet started. As if nothing had ever been wrong with it, the tablet now works just like it used to. Weird or what?

So after 2 months of being dead, it's suddenly alive again.

This appears to be the same issue many others, myself included, are having. Seemingly there is a fair amount of these z2 tabs with this issue. People are reporting success getting their z2 tab main boards replaced under warranty if you haven't unlocked your bootloader.

My device is completely stock. No root or boot loader unlock and has never had a repair.

I find it strange that after two months of being completely dead, it suddenly sprung back into life!

In my case it was a few hours and it came back. Point being, there is clearly something wrong with a bunch of these z2 tabs.

Are you 100% sure it was completely dead? Have you tried e.g. booting to Fastboot mode?

Yep, was completely dead. Wouldn't boot into Fastboot, couldn't repair via PC Companion or anything which is why I'm surprised it's suddenly sprung back to life.

I was sure mine was the only one with problems it still randomly reboots it self it's been in to Sony and they say that can find a problem but in Sony diagnosis is said it had reboot 9 times in 7 days not sure what to do with it
