Restarting was fixing it but the "up" times were getting shorter and shorter. Now it just doesn't work.
OK, as you have tried OS wipes and reloads, it has to be hardware.
Still a very weird issue.
Do you have an warranty on the device or a service plan?
Did you get it as a brand new, unused device, or through a third party seller as a used device?
If No, No, and Used for above, do you have a T4 Torx and a bit of skill?
It is pretty easy to open a Z30 up and see if there are signs of water damage.
