Assuming you bought it new, what warranty did you get?

If I remember correctly, mine had a 2-year warranty when purchased in the UK in 2018.

Have you tried removing the battery, then reinsert the battery and turning it on?

What about a reset to Factory Setting?

These steps might tell you if it is a sofware/firmware issue or a hardware issue.

If it is a hardware issue and it's within Warranty i'd send it in for a repair.

If it is a software/firmware issue are you running the latest firmware?
