Phone cuts power with SIM inside

[Guest Leddy]

I've recently had a SPV-E100 shipped in from the UK (I'm in Australia), and the battery is dead (as advertised).

I'm currently waiting for my new battery, but I've discovered a problem:

(I'm using the v1.65 ROM update)

When I start the phone in Aeroplane mode, the phone stays on and operates normally.

However, if I start the phone in Radio mode, it asks for my PIN, verifies it, and returns to the home screen. I can use it a bit, but after a while, the power just cuts off. No error message, nothing. The power just cuts off (while connected to AC).

What could possibly be wrong?

Edit: issue solved.
