Ever since when I try to shift it to tablet mode it shuts down. When restarted the keyboard does not work until soft reset. I have the same problem if I close the z without first shutting it off using the back button. I bought it from Pricejapan. Great company. Unless someone knows an alternative (I'd pay to have it repaired in Portland, Oregon) I guess it is going back to Japan via Pricejapan for warranty service. Frustrating because it is mainly usable. Anyone know the turnaround time for Pricejapan repairs. I'm guessing four to six long weeks.
I dropped my 5600 (and samsung i330, what a kluts) many times without any problems. The hinge mechanism is the achilles heal of the clamshell models.

That might be too broad of a statement, but the 760/860 models seem the most vulnerable. I would hope the 1k/3k/3.1 are improved

Before sending it out to Japan, try to open it up and resettle all internal connectors, maybe something went loose.
