World Edition 8830 Won't Turn on
My blackberry will not turn on. When I plug the charger in I just get a red light that stays lit for a few seconds then goes off then the red light blinks a few times. It will not power up at all and I have left it plugged in to the charger for a long time and nothing. Please help.

Unless you got it wet or dropped it, the battery may be defective.

I take it the blinking red light isn't a good thing?

Re: World Edition 8830 Won't Turn on
how many times does it blink. It's a code

Re: World Edition 8830 Won't Turn on
I'll have to plug it in again and check. It'll take me a couple minutes but I'll be right back.

Re: World Edition 8830 Won't Turn on
Also have you added any new App's or performed an OS upgrade?

Re: World Edition 8830 Won't Turn on
When I plug it in the red light comes on and stay lit for 20 seconds then goes off for 7 seconds and then does the same thing over and over again. When I turned it on at firsta minute ago the first few times when the light was off right before the red light came back on it would flash for a second and I could see the hour glass but it was real quick . It stopped doing that after about 5 cycles of the light going on and off

Did this BB work in the past?
|
Re: World Edition 8830 Won't Turn on
yes worked fine

Re: World Edition 8830 Won't Turn on
I bet it is a bad battery. Try a new OEM one and see if that fixes it.

Re: World Edition 8830 Won't Turn on
Okay thanks will try that.

Re: World Edition 8830 Won't Turn on
Ok , two things may help. The OS on the BB is corrupt and unless the phone is defective you can try to replace the operating system. Itxxx8217;s not hard to do. I have included two links to assist in the replacement. READ both and follow the instructions. If you have desktop manager and made a backup, all your contacts and emails will be put back when your finished. If you do not have DM , you can go to RIM and get a free copy for the PC.
Replacing the OS is one option. the other is to borrow a battery and see if it works then. Generally the blinking led's indicate the OS is bad but trying the battery is easy if you can borrow one. DM link BlackBerry - Support & Services downloads. Blackberry information link KB04596-BlackBerry smartphone does not turn on and the LED flashes Link from Blackberry FAQ site, Is your BlackBerry Nuked? - BlackBerryFAQ |
