sony tablet s apps not working / play store not working... HELP!

I've just got hold of an old but unused Tablet S (possibly an ex-demo) and am having nothing but trouble getting it up and running.

It's running Android 4.0.3 and most of the OS seems to work (it boots properly, wifi works, gps works etc) but can't get the Play Store to download anything (just hangs on 'downloading'). The browser is no better - I get about three or four pages in and the whole thing grinds to a halt. Possibly wouldn't be an issue if I could download Chrome but the Play Store doesn't work etc etc!

Less important to me (but possibly related) various apps (camera, walkman, gallery) fail on startup. I just get a 'camera has stopped working' message or similar. There is also some screen flicker but nothing major.

The issue doesn't appear to be wifi (maps/directions work fine) and I've tried a factory reset (several times!).

Any ideas welcome!
