I have 2 Sony Ericsson clam-shell / flip-phone which have developed the same fault.

They power themselves off / shutdown when not expected.

Both my sons W300i (1 year old) and my wife's Z710i (1.5 years old) have got the same fault.

Has anyone else had similar problems ?

Can they be fixed easily / cheaply or should I just replace them ?

My Sony phone used to do it and a collegues, on our it was due to the fit of the battery not being tight enough, I fixed mine by putting a bit of card between the battery and its cover, did that 2 weeks ago and since it has never switched itself off, same with my collegues she found the fix on the web somewhere. Sounds stupied but worth a try.

I used to have to do that with my old Nokia 6210

It would switch off randomly and mid conversation... eventually, after a couple of replacements the IT dept in charge of the mobile phones found that fix
