Airbus is drafting a worldwide safety warning about electrical problems on some of its aircraft. The company is investigating a fault that temporarily shut off primary cockpit displays and computer controls on a BMI flight from Khartoum to Beirut in August. The standby instruments on the A321 plane did operate normally.
The pilots reported that without warning the aircraft began to shudder, banking steeply on its own - failing to respond to pilot commands over a period of several minutes.
The crew said they were bombarded by a stream of warning messages before cockpit screens turned grey and then went blank.
I doubt it.

Could the disruption in control come from the amount of solar activity lately... as the suns charged particles can interfere with communication satellites and electrical grids? en.wikipedia.org...
When did the Air France accident happen?
