I have a storm 9500 and it wont reset, I take the battery out to reboot it and all that happens is that the hour glass comes uo then a white screen with black writing comes up for 1 second and the only wrod i can read is reset.
I linked it up to my laptop to reset it through blackberry desktop but it doesnt register the device even though it is turned on.
For some reason i tried the phone this morning and it reset once i inserted the battery. looking at the screen it may of had water damage as it is snowing quite heavily where i live.
Glad it's working. But don't take liquid exposure lighly. Protect the device, and if you do expose the device to moisture, remove the battery immediately. And then see blackberryfaq.com and the article on what do do if you get your BlackBerry wet. Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile
