Hello guys. Help needed here.
I am a Xperia Sola MT27i user from Malaysia. I had been using this phone since October 2012 and it was performing well up to my needs.
Last night, when I was engaged to a phone call, my Xperia Sola shuts down automatically. I tried to restart the phone but once I key in my SIM Card passcode, the phone shuts down again. I repeatedly trying to switch on the phone but every single time I key in my SIM Card passcode, it shuts down.
Next, I removed the SIM Card and tried to switch on the phone and it was running perfectly FINE, without the SIM Card! I was able to connect to the WiFi, all apps running well, view photos and play music, just like how it was before.
Thus, I assumed that the phone is alright and again inserted the SIM Card and tried to start up the phone. Again the problem comes, once I entered my SIM Card passcode, the phone auto shuts down, without any warning or message, the screen just go blank. Tried for another 5 - 6 times but my attempts ended in vain.
To reconfirm, I took out the SIM Card and switch on the phone again and EVERYTHING is 100% fine!
In addition to this, i would like to make it clear that :
-my SIM Card works fine with other handphones and that
-inserting other SIM Cards into my Xperia Sola ended up with the same result.
Moreover, the Xperia Sola works perfectly fine WITHOUT a SIM Card.
it also works perfectly fine if
-I did not key in my SIM Card passcode and let it be in SIM Card LOCKED Mode.
-and perfectly fine in FLIGHT Mode
Please help. I am really anxious and frustrated regarding this issue.
