Sony A7S III sometimes won’t turn on, red light blinking in corner

Hi everyone,

I have a Sony Alpha 7S III that I mainly use for video, and recently it has started acting strangely.
Sometimes when I try to turn it on, nothing happens. The camera stays off, and there is a small red light blinking in one of the corners of the camera body.

If I remove and reinsert the battery, wait a bit, or try again a few times, eventually it turns on normally. But the issue keeps happening randomly.
I’m using original Sony batteries and the battery is charged. No recent drops or water damage.

Has anyone had this happen before? Do you know what the blinking red light means or what could be causing it?

Thankss!
