Stuck on boot animation - any advice?

[rammydcfc]

Hi,

Not sure whether my battery ran down whilst it was powered on, but my tablet S will not boot into Android.
When I power it on, the swirly boot animation just loops and loops - the unlock screen is never displayed.

Touching the screen doesn't change anything, holding down the power for 10 secs powers it off, but when I power it back on it simply loops at the animation again. Pressing the reset button simply powers it off also.

Any advice, or do I need to contact Sony about this?
I'm running the latest updates.

Thanks for any help.

If the reset doesn't work, try letting it run all the way down until it powers off then charge all the way up.
