Hello,
This has randomly started happening today to my phone: I noticed first that it was randomly shutting off for the first time ever; I've had it for about a year and a half. I thought the problem was overheating since it's been a super hot day, because it was doing it randomly while being used and not being used. After trying out some stuff and testing it, it looks like what is causing it to shut off completely is being tapped on the physical bottom left-handed corner of the phone. By a tap I mean I just gently tap it against a table, or against a table through a thin cushioning material. I tried all four of the physical corners after I found this out and it is only the single corner that causes it.
Due to this I can guess it's hardware related, but what could be the cause? A loose cable or power connection that it broken because of the shock? Also, would it be repairable or not?
