Did the battery run out of power?

Does it charge when you plug in to a charger?

Remove the SD Card and see if that works

i dont think it ran out of power, no it wont charge when i plug it in, and there is no SD card

Check the battery.. My mom's had similar issue with her BB... tried another battery and it worked fine!

You might try leaving the battery out for an hour or so then putting it back in. I have heard others reporting this works. Cant seem to find the thread at this time.

Leaving it out for a while was my next suggestion. I am having a similar issue on my old 8800 and also on the 9000. My 8700 charges, boots and works like a champ.

ATT is sending me a battery for the 9000 to see if that fixes the problem.

Also heard that tightening the screws around the edge has also been known to fix it. Didn't help in with my 9000 however.
