Can SFOS physically damage XA2?

My second XA2 just broke down in the same way my first one did. The screen wouldn't turn on, then a long press on the power button triggered the red light. It stayed on until I pressed power+volume down. Now the device seems to be dead and doesn't react to any keypress nor is it recognized by a computer with fastboot. Also tried Sony's two minutes method (power+volume up for two minutes). Could this be due to SFOS? There is at least one more person with the same issue, so all in all 3 XA2s failed the same way.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that at least at the stage when the screen wouldn't tturn on in the first place, the device was somehow still working. The yellow light indicating new emails was blinking.
