X-T3 locking up on latest firmware 3.10

I never had this issue until I applied the 3.01 firmware update and all of a sudden my camera is randomly locking up.  Then I updated it to the currently latest version, 3.10 and it is still doing it.  It has done it with my xf16-55 mounted, xf80 mounted and xf50-140 mounted.  I've had Godox speedlights on it as well as a remote trigger and it has happened and it has happened without any speedlight or trigger attached.  Batteries are Fuji batteries NPW-126S.

When it locks up the camera goes completely non-responsive.  Nothing shows in the EVF or on the back screen and the little orange indicator light in the thumb brace comes on and stays on.  Turning it on and off does nothing.  I have to pop the battery out.  I've found no rhyme or reason as to when it happens.  It just does.  Sometimes multiple times in a row and then it will be fine for a while.

Anyone have any insight?  I wish I could go back to the firmware prior to 3.01 as it worked perfectly for me.

Thanks guys.  I reached out to Fuji service and they had me ship it for service and they are replacing the mainboard right now but I will check my cards as well.  I can't remember if I was using the same set of cards each time it locked up or not but cards are cheap to replace so I will swap them just in case.

Final update on this.  Fuji service replaced the mainboard on my X-T3 as the OTA update to 3.1 appears to have corrupted it somehow.  It took them 3 weeks to repair it and send it back but it is working great now.  Put the new firmware on using the old school method and can see an improvement in focus speed now as well.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
