Xperia SL volume rocker and power button failure

Xein_abbas — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 15:18:07 GMT

I updated to Jellybean yesterday, and now the volume rocker has a mind of its own increasing and decreasing the ringer volume as it pleases. The power button just refuses to work, the device just doesnt respond to pressing it at all. and every time I open the Google Chrome app, it freezes and restarts in safe mode.

Can anyone help?

that's odd it might be a hardware issue, take your phone to a Sony repair center

you have 2 options

1) take it to a Sony repair center

2) repair it yourself, this is a lot cheaper but will void your warranty

and also there's a third option, sell your phone on ebay as is and you can buy a new phone : P
