Hi! Suddenly the screen on my new A52s is totally dead.
So it's gonna need repair or replace under warranty.
Before I send it in I need to wipe it using the Android find device service.
Problem is it cannot find the A52s. And I don't know if it's turned on or off since the screen is broken.
How do I turn it on and know it's on?
Will the find service find it even if it's turned on but not logged in, which probably will be the case if I manage to boot it.
The device is all stock.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Does it vibrate as you pressing the power button?

Yes. And I can see a weak flickering on screen but not so I can see icons / text.
I have also tried connecting it via USB to my pc and both phone and pc makes a plong noise.
But the phone is not shown in Windows explorer.

Hello.
I have the same problem with my Vodafone Smart 2. Do you find any solution about this.
Thanks.
Seems to be happening to many Smart 2s lately. I have seen many of these threads with the same issue all over the forums.

I was using my tablet while finishing charging. I was about 95%. Suddenly it just went black and won't turn back on. Any ideas? I've tried holding the power button with no results. Is there a special reset or something?
Anyone else have this issue or things I can try to fix it?

Have you tried PC Companion? Download it for Windows then try to locate for emergency repair. It will show you instructions of how to put your tablet in flash mode.

I haven't tried that specifically, but would it not fail if the light didn't even go on when plugged in, and my pc doesn't even read it as connected?

Not really, for example in some samsung devices even if the device wont turn on the a JIG plug was able to put the phone on download mode, something very similar to flash mode on the xperia mobiles.
So i guess the last thing you can try is to put the tablet in flash mode, you can download a FTF file with the firmware compatible with your device, and download flashtool from: Click here to download and then put your tablet on flash mode. I guess you will need first the drivers Click here to see drivers and after you install the drivers, just open flash tool press the vol down key and connect the usb cable to the tablet, and if you see that flashtool or maybe windows recognizes your tablet you may have luck to restore it.
So if you get it into flash mode, then just flash the FTF and let's see what happens.
Let me know.
I will give it a test this evening or tomorrow - thanks! I will post back if it works.
PC Companion doesn't detect the tablet, nor does my PC at all in device manager. It doesn't respond like anything is plugged in, but it did before.
Flashtool comes up with nothing either - once again doesn't even acknowledge anything is plugged in.
Thanks for the suggestions, though.

I read your issue. Read my first post again - yours is simply a crash. Mine does not charge, has no power LED, and is completely unresponsive. No recovery button combination or anything works - yours turns on and responds to things.
so when you try vol up and power button do you not see the white led flash once then a couple seconds later three times? if it does it means your tablet can still be put into flash mode with some perseverance.
Edit: you could try sony mobiles flash tool called Emma which has its own way of entering flash mode (think you hold vol down and plug the usb cable in the computer) and see if that program can detect your tablet but you can use the instructions provided on their website if your unsure what to do.
same sitation
I have the same problem with my tablet. I watched stock photos in album and then display switched off. And that's the end.
Nothing happens when I try to power on, reboot or restore with Companion. Computer doesn' detect device. The same situation with Emma and flashtool.
I used my new-bought tablet only for 15 minutes)))
Mine ended up needing replacing due to a fried mainboard. Did you leave yours plugged in overnight?
Ok something strange happen to the tab I never had problem before I left the headphone plugged in a press the power button to close the screen (I always do that) when I try to use the tab there was nothing on screen double tab the screen nothing, hold the power button nothing put the tab in the cradle nothing the led was not turning on but the usb cable direct to the pc and than the charger nothing. I press the volume up and power button the tab led blink and was able to restart the tab. ??????????
Same thing just happened to me. Power button would not turn on the Z. LED would not turn on when charged. Did a hard reset and it came back on. Model: SGP312.

Pc companion will not work in thta situation cause it needs the device to be powered on...
In that case have you try the SUS http:/sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
Just follow the instructions and you will be fine
It will erase the entire internal memory though, sd is fine..

Hello. Yestarday my xperia z2 has turned itself off and since then I can not turn on her. Even the red button OFF, which is used to restart the device does not help. I do not know what to do. I have guarantee for him but I would like to ask you first if maybe someone already had this problem and is able to help me. Phone was plugged in all night to the charger but it did not help. Sorry for my english, I wrote with the help of translator.

None of these methods has not helped. Phone does not vibrate at all when hold power button and volume up button.
Only a turn on for a while the red led in the support zone when he has displayed in order to connect your phone to your computer to update, but the computer it has not detected

So you know, When you use flashtool, The phone looks like its off, But its rly not.. Its part of its process.. incase you think its wrong
In sum, earlier today I was using my phone with no problems-- calls, texts, using apps etc. I went to 'close my screen' when I was done using it and I realized the side power/lock screen button was not working and my screen was not responding when I wanted to lock it. I removed the battery hoping it would reset the phone and fix what was wrong but now my phone will not turn back on. I plugged the phone into the wall for at least 30 minutes as well as plugging it in the computer for quite some time. No response from the phone at all. (no charging icon, computer is not detecting the usb cable when plugged into computer, etc.)I also held the buttons down to try to power on as well.
I was wondering if there was a way to fix this problem, or somehow retrieve files (mainly pictures) from the phone,
Thank you for your help. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

I attempted to hold volume down, power and home buttons but the phone did not respond. The computer is also not recognizing it while plugged in via usb. The button does not seem to be 'stuck' as i can still hear a slight clicking sound when I press it.
Try removing the battery and hold power down for 30 seconds and then try installing the battery again.
Try that ^
maybe a jig might help
Guys, help me. I restarted my phone and it froze the screen like a grey fuzzy TV screen with a constant blue LED light.
I then pulled the battery and put it back in and tried to turn my phone on. My phone didn't turn on.
It isn't giving my any feedback. Nothing comes on the screen. Tried volume+power+home and all the other combinations of keys.
I've tried charging it and trying again, it doesn't work. Nothing is working.
It hasn't been dropped or waterlogged. It was working perfectly fine before I restarted.
Any suggestions? I rely on my phone for important work calls so I need to get it working ASAP. Any help would be deeply appreciated.:crying:

I think the device may be out of warranty and I want to be able to revive it with internal memory data intact. Not sure if service centre would recover it with data intact.
