Sudden Death due to corrupt SD card/ virus?

Bought an Xperia Z3 Compact less than a month back and was extremely happy using it. However, within the first 3 weeks, it suddenly died on me while browsing. Took it to the local Sony service center who said they'll check for hardware faults, if any. 2 days later, they returned it back to me with nothing more than OS software update. Within the next 24 hours, the phone died once again and this time I tried every trick I read online. Volume up+Power button. Long pressing the yellow hard reset button. Nothing worked. Feeling frustrated, I confronted the service centre reps telling them its not a software related issue. As it was bound to happen, the phone restarted normally at the store. Now it didn't look like there was any problem with the phone. The explanation provided by the service centre was that there's no issue with the phone. Instead, I might be having a corrupted SD card that may possibly be infected with a virus. Went back home and checked with AVG anti-virus (paid version) and didn't find any signs of infection. The only remaining possibility is that my office laptop might have some virus since I often use it to charge my cellphone. My questions to experts - Is this possible? Does an SD card or virus have anything to do with the sudden death problem? How do I fix it because even the service centre refuses to acknowledge any problem? What's the point of such a good phone if I can't rely on it to work all the time?

Can't open certain mp3's or thumbnails on 9300, corrupt media card??

I am also having issues with the phone! Since I updated my software 2 weeks ago my app world stopped working and now I cannot download it after deleting it. About a month ago when downloading mp3's it all of a sudden started having format issues even though the music is in the supported format. My photos that were taken with the camera turned to thumbnails that cannot be opened and that is why I decided to update the software in the first place. Since the new software update I now also have a java.lang.error when ever I reboot the phone. I'm frustrated! Anybody with tips as to how I can get these problems sorted please help! I have deleted all third party apps and the error persists. Is any of this indicative of a corrupt media card??

X220 battery sudden death

Hi, my quite new x220 with 9-cell battery was working perfectly fine last week and the battery life was excellent with the battery condition at somewhere around 90%.
The laptop was left to hibernate for bit less than a week and when I tried turning it back on it had no life, finally I connected the power supply and the laptop started but the power manager showed that the battery has failed due to normal wear.
This seems really strange considering the battery was perfectly fine the last time I used it and the cycle count is just 10. As the laptop is used the battery is allready out of warranty and I really would not like to buy new battery when the other one was basically unused.
So is there anything I could do or do I have to buy a new one?

This is almost known issue. Lenovo consider different battery manufacturers as "similar" battery component but the quality differs significantly. The best are Panasonic ones, the worst Sanyo. Unfortunately there is no way to get battery made by exact manufacturer.
You have to buy a new one, Lenovo does not care about well-known failing components. I am sure you can find more related reports about Sanyo batteries (made for Lenovo) https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/9-Cell-Battery-just-DIED-not-by-normal-wea...
You might try to complain about poor battery quality in General Discussion forum http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/General-Discussion/bd-p/Special_Interest_General
I was also "lucky" to get the Sanyo one in my X220 so I'm waiting for its sudden death as well. There is nothing I can do about that.

Can't use time machine due to corruptness even after reinstalling snow lepoard how to fix?

Yes, someone stole my original apple id in 2009. Now i bought another iphone in late 2012 , Created another apple id due to Apple not being able to help me access my original apple id. Which now since 2 months ago someone or company, or bank stole my second apple id. My iphone 4s with Sprint has no celluar connection supossedly due to no internet that is what sprint said but I looked it up on apple and it stated that there is a cellluar block on my iphone4s.
So I guess I will have to go in person to Sprint so they can explain that to me and why I was lied to on the phone earlier. Back to my 2nd stolen apple id that I registered my macbook,airport express router, and iphone4s and apple TV. So who ever stole this apple id obviously took over all my mac products I had registered to it. Enough about that back to trying to use time machine....Everytime i do, my macbook just starts acting all screwed up. I bought a WD external drive for Mac but I believe someone must have claimed it too. Since there is 75gb on it that I can't access. Kind of like my Macbook stating I can't save or have access to the Root . That is another thing after reinstalling snow lepoard which works great until I update it. Which is a problem because everytime I update it to 10.6.8 All the permissions are changed the graphics look horrible and I get redirected so bad its not funny. The email account is a joke. Also I notice my stationary for email is in Spanish not sure why and on Iworks the document samples are also in spanish. Now I dont speak any other language except ENGLISH AND HAVE LIVED IN UNITEDSTATES MY ENTIRE LIFE. But my internet provider Fibrant which swears they are local shows it is in the UK also when i try to access my email for that account it states it is not safe , certificate is expired and someone might be trying to impersonate my server. Needless to say it is getting old. I had this same problem with Timewarner and Att except att would just remove my ethernet driver then laugh when i would call and ask what the problem was. Then later I find out when I had DSL that somehow the phone number they had listed was change to being a digit off from my DSL account which again they laughed and thought it was funny. Enough about that. I need to know how to get access to my Apple id. I gave up on the first one but the second one I did have access to until I registered all my apple products. What is up with every thing I have with a usb port being corrupt. I have also notice anywhere in town where I live my phone is English until I come home it is arabic,hebrew , spanish any language except English. Shouldn't I be safer in my home??????????????? But I am not I am safer in town or anywhere but my home. EVerything states international in my home and this has been going on since 2009.....No one can tell me why. My power from Duke reads that OTHER Is costing me the most $$ every month what ????? This is a joke. But yet no one can tell me why or how to fix the problem. Going on 5 years , I have been cut off from everyone I know. Can't keep contacts on a phone or email accts. They all disappear. All so I am in Eastern time zone but all my computers and tv seems to think I am in pacific timezone. No one can fix this problem either. So if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix at least one of my 5 year problems I would be grateful. I try to create a new email account but either I am locked out right after or someone turns it into an alias account which doesn't help me. When I was layed off in 2009-2010 I went back to school/college. Needless to say they took my School email acct too.
Back to my iphone 4s problem. My icloud email account gets alot of spam starting about 2 months ago and I can't stop it. I try to foward it to Spam @ me but it hasn't helped.My iphone can only connect to the internet with wifi. Sprint swears that there is not a block but according to apple there is.
About my macbook and apple ID how can I upgrade my Macbook from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 with out all the permissions being changed and corrupt?? I have tried several times and it is always the same. I won't to connect my iphone to itunes to try to restore it but it states I have to update it to 10.6.8. When I do that my computer is alot worse off. Also how can I use TimeMachine with out my Macbook getting messed up? Something in my house has taken over anything with a usb port actually years ago and probably now something kept turning all my computers and phones or any electronic I owned it to a printer. I actually can't even use a printer in my home thats the funny thing. When I try to connect one when I used windows it stated I had no rights to it and couldn't use it. Since I switch to Mac not much better. When I try to print a test page it is all crooked and too small of half off the page. So it is upsetting that I can't use a printer but something keeps turning all my electronics into printers. If anyone knows how to fix this problem that would be great or to stop all this international stuff going on in my home that would be wonderful. I try to buy brand new pcs but soon as I start them up something had already taken over. This is with nothing electronic in my home on. Turn everything that a power switch off or unplugged it. Still I lost rights and access to anything in my home. Now if I am away from my home and try to use one of my laptops they look completely different and almost usable. Unfortunately I can't afford to move. I thought about it but I am still in bankruptcy and don't have the money. In the last 4 years I have not been able to reinstall in backups that I have created. Not sure why oh wait it states I have no rights to do that. My macbook I lost access to a week after I bought it and connected my iphone too. You don't know how many times I wish I had never backed my iphone 4s to my Macbook. Right after I could not log into it. Even used the disk to reset the password nope still couldn't log into it. Try to type the formula for resetting the password and nope it didn't work either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated---Need to gain access to my apple Id that would be a great start

Output error, sudden death..

Having a problem with my output jack.
The output worked perfectly with headphones and speakers but suddenly now I realize the jack is dead.
Tried to connect a set of JBL Creature II speakers but they don't work, work perfectly with both Ipod and MacBook Pro though so nothing wrong with the speakers. Then I've tried diferrent kinds of headphones and headsets all with no sound. The input seems dead too.
In System preferences > Sound everything seems correct, it switches normally from internal speakers to headphones when I plug in/plug out, definitely no problem with the internal speakers but no sound what so ever from the output and input.
Usually I use a Bluetooth headset and havn't been using other speakers than the internal ones for a while so I got a little surprised now.. Worked just perfectly some month ago with a set of Creative Gigaworks T3.
No "weird" system changes done, nothing special I noticed that could have caused it. Just.. Sudden death?
Is this some kind of software problem? π_π
What do you think guys?

Anyway, nothing with the output key works for me. Not sure though what exactly you're telling me to do hehe, just click on it and keep the output key down?
Not the 'output' key. Press and hold the OPTION key while clicking on the volume icon at the top of your menu bar.
What do you see?

Keeps rebooting -- Sudden death

Hi,
When waking up this morning I found my Z3 Dual sim to be countinously rebooting. After a this keeping for a long time, I managed the tips of managing to shut it of.
I found the fix and held down power + down and up volume. It vibrated a 3 times but nothing happening. Did it again a few times and nothing happend. Tried it again a few times and now it has gone to sudden death mode..
Black screen, nothing is happening. All attempts on trying to do a hard reset is failing.
Stopped by my local Sony store, but I only had 20 minutes, thus never got any service.
Any ideas?

I've replied to the question you posted in my thread about sudden death.

Sudden death on Intel iMac 2.8 GHz

I bought a new off-the-shelf iMac 2.8 GHz three days ago. Since then, the machine has suddenly died three times. No kernel panic, no gray shades coming down, no other warning--the screen just instantly goes black. After the first incident, it started up right away. Second time, it would not start at all. I pressed to power button a couple of times and at one point the machine growled (was this the fan going into overdrive?). Finally, I pressed and held the button til I heard a long beep. It started again. But I have also had another sudden death since then. Has anyone else experienced this sudden death? Because it did not invovle a kernel panic, does this rule out bad ram issues? Thanks.

It may be that the fans are not cooling the machine correctly. Resetting the system management controller can solve this problem. Read the following support article for instructions on how to do this.

PowerBook G4 - Won't Start Up - 3 Strange Beeps then just LED flashes and sudden death - black screen.

PowerBook G4 - Won't Start Up - 3 Strange Beeps then just LED flashes and sudden death - black screen.
Prior that the powerbook also couldn't start but I could see the Apple logo, so via fire-wire (holding T at start up) I backed up the hard disk.
Check via DiskToolPro the structure, defragmented. Via DiskWarrior rebuild the directory
and finally not been able to access the drive I reformatted the drive via fire-wire drive.
Re-started the powerbook holding C to boot up from DVD - nothing
Re-started again and it give me one long beep and black screen. An indication that my 1gig RAM is bad or gone (?) and the DVD is stuck inside.
Bought new one 1 gig, installed it and now I'm getting only three beeps.
I tried all, changed the slots several times and nothing.
I tried more as:
                         c -- to boot from CD (again while the DVD is still inside and I cannot get it out)
                         cmd-opt-p-r -- to Zap the PRAM,
                         cmd-opt-n-v -- to clear NV RAM,
                         cmd-opt-o-f -- to boot into open firmware … and nothing. The DVD is in and I have
                                                black screen with three beeps and flashing LED.
Do I have to replace the Logic Board?   (Anyone has a spare one ?)
But it is the faulty Logic board?
Could anyone help me out? Please.
I'm retired and I cannot afford a new laptop - and this powerbook was a great, great horse for me until that horrible set of three beeps.
Thank you in advance for any advice and help.

But it is the faulty Logic board?
There was a known issue with LBs in 15-inch PowerBooks with 1.5 and 1.67Ghz processors in which one RAM slot would fail. There once was a repair extension program that fixed the problem at no cost, but it is long-expired.
The problem with seeking a used logic board for these models is that so many had their boards replaced that it increases the chances of the boards in the used/pulled markets having the same problem you have now. The replacement program also came close to exhausting the supply of new boards,
If it turns out to be a bad LB and you can't find a replacement, consider how used computer pricing works: A used computer is worth hugely more in parts than if bought as a working unit. I.E, you can probably find a working PowerBook that will cost less than the logic bard alone. It also possible to find a used MacBook Pro for less that a replacement LB.
If you tell us your approximate geographic location, we can see what's available nearby. I'm also retired, and and visiting my wife's family this week so have even more time than usual to help you search.

IPad camera connection kit corrupts SD card.

I received the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit as a gift for Christmas. Placing an SD card in the device and inserting it into the iPad, I am shortly presented the option of copying the images to the iPad. Worked fine EXCEPT that I told it to NOT erase the original images. This was apparently understood by the application. After it completed, I exited the applcation, wait a few seconds and then remove the adapter. I then put the SD card back into my camera and it now says the 'card is not formatted ... format yes or no'. I deliberately selected to NOT delete the iamges as I wanted to save the EXIF information. Telling the camera to NOT accept the card, it promptly powers off. If I tell it to format the card, it is now totally blank.
My doctor has to adhere to an oath that says essentially, 'Do No Harm'. Apple, if you are reading this, please correst the software that copies the images from an SD card so it does NOT corrupt the card! While this is not a life threatening issue, it does irritate me in that I have lost a lot of information that was valuable to me.
I am using an iPad 2 with the latest iteration of IOS (6.0.1) and the camera is an older model Toshiba model PDR-4300.
I strongly request that Apple update the appropriate software to fix this issue. On the off chance that there is a setting somewhere that I missed, I'm posting this as a question.

This is an iPad user to user forum. Apple doesn't read or respond.
I've used the camera connection kit many times and never hd this problem. Nor have I ever seen this problem posted here before. It must have been something you did and not the iPad or its software.
Send feedback to Apple.
