If a service book is corrupt on the BlackBerry device, you may experience problems sending and receiving messages. To fix this problem, you must clear the Service Book database, then restore the service books on the BlackBerry device.
When clearing the Service Book database, if you are on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, you will either have to generate a new key or receive a new key from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
If you are a BlackBerry Internet Service user, you will have to re-send the service books from your BlackBerry Internet Service account.
Important: If you are running BlackBerry Device Software 4.0 or later, complete all of the tasks below. If you are running BlackBerry Device Software 3.8 or earlier, complete tasks 2 and 3.
Task 1 - Delete the Desktop [SYNC] service book
If you are running BlackBerry Device Software 4.0 or later, you cannot clear the Service Book database unless you delete the Desktop [SYNC] service book first. To delete the service book, complete the following steps on the BlackBerry device:

4. In the list of BlackBerry device databases, select Service Book, then click Clear.
Note: If you are running BlackBerry Device Software 4.0 or later, and you do not delete the Desktop [SYNC] service book, the Service Book database will not be accessible.
5. Click OK in the Warning window.
6. Click Close.
Task 3 - Restore the Service Book database
