Hi....love my Xperia Z Tablet!  I have followed all of the trouble shooting tips (plugging in for 30+min, trying a different adapter, etc...) And, it still won't turn on....what do I do?

I have the same problem. My device "shuts down/ wont start" for no apparent reason. Even with more than 50% battery.
I have tried repairing with pc-companion but without result.
It is occuring maybe once a week. What should i do?

@Cottontail - The way you have described this implies that this has happened on more than one occasion. So that I can give you the correct answer, can you please advise what you have been doing to get it to power back up after this occurs?

My tablet Z also same problem. I am watching movie suddenly screen off. I press power then up, after unlock creen, it off again, some time not off, some time off everytime. It just happen few week now. PC companion reset not help at all. Why display only 30Minutes? Why always on like Ipaq or other tablet ?

Sony please support this problem?

@chinaspy - Are you using the default player or a third party one?

Can you please clarify, you indicated that it was going into standby when watching a video, this is why I was asking about a third party video player. However under normal use the display will go into standby when not in use for a period of time, though some applications can override this.

No, I used the default app in tablet and set standby at 30Minute. I touched the sreen every 2 minute, but if it (tablet Z)happy, it stay , if not it turn off sreen. Even watch youtube the same. Althrough after unlock, screen just light up then off and repeat many time. Worst Sony Tablet

My tablet shut off last night out of no where.  The battery had a full charge.  I set it down for 30 mins and it was dead.  The power did not do anything.  No lights would turn or anything.  This morning however, I held the up volume button and power. I got a sign of life and the tablet rebooted.  Its on now and functioning perfectly.  This will be something I will keep my eye out for tho.
