Xperia c3 blinking home screen

[Samantha14]

I just bought my Xperia C3 last night and i bought an sd card as well. I went home and personalize my phone then all of a sudden it restarted by itself. After, i tried using an app and it's still working so i continue insatalling other app, i did change my wallpaper then i press the power button, it turned the screen off so im trying to turn it back on, and the button is not working. I pressed it 3sec it came on blinking home screen, i can't touch anything so turned it off then after few minutes, i turned it back on, same thing. I dont know what happened really, i just bought the phone. Is this a known issue about xperia c3?

Hi Samantha14,

Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

This could be related to the SIM card or SD card, can you try removing them and see if the issue continues?
