Solved/Closed

Hello, I was given a Blackberry PDA type device that won't turn on. However, the network/battery indicator keeps flashing red continuously at regular intervals of 5 seconds. I can't even turn off the indicator. What could that be? Is the phone locked? What should I do? Please help me. 
Configuration: Opera 9.50

    I have the same problem, and by removing the battery and putting it back, it turns on again.

      In fact, you need to remove the battery, charge it without the battery, and then put the battery back in while keeping it on charge... let's see why? Otherwise, abandon Blackberry.

    I had the same problem; it’s the OS that crashes. You need to reinstall the software. Very common issue on BB.

    I also have the same problem with a 8520, I measured the battery voltage after 5 hours of charging, I only had 3.1V instead of 3.7V, not normal.
    yet the phone is only 4 months old, it's not cool.
    so I ordered another battery, I will keep you updated.

      I just received my new battery for my BB Curve 8520. I plug in the phone and an icon with a striped battery appears, and it won't turn on. I need help, thank you in advance.

      @tolledano: you leave it for a while and then you turn it back on.

    I found the solution, I hope it will help a good number of you!
    It often happens that when you talk with your Blackberry Pearl until the battery is dead, it discharges completely, and even when you try to charge it again, your Blackberry Pearl won't turn on.

    To solve this problem (which I have not tested on other models):
    You need to:

    - Unplug the BB Pearl from the charger
    - Remove the battery
    - Plug your Blackberry back in without the battery
    - Turn it on

    A "battery empty" icon will appear
    Leave the BB Pearl plugged into the wall, and put the battery back in
    Then, press the button to turn it on, normally it should turn on.

    Hello friends, I assure you, apparently you are not the only ones!!!! I have the same problem, I put the battery in the phone and then I charged it but after 12 hours still the same thing, the red light that lights up in 4 intervals... so I checked the battery and found that there is a part covered by a sticker (there’s a padlock next to it) so I removed the sticker and put the battery back in the device and everything is charging, I don't know if that will solve the problem or not!!!!!

    please help if you have any

    thank you

    Personally, mine wouldn't turn on at all. Then, like some, it only blinked. Occasionally, it would turn on for a few seconds, but as soon as I put it in my pocket, I couldn't turn it on again. Eventually, I "played" a bit with the battery, holding it in place with my finger, I pressed the button to turn it on while still applying pressure on the battery, and it turned back on. MAGIC! Since then, it hasn't turned off again. I think it was due to the battery. Good luck to you.

      I had exactly the same problem with my BlackBerry Bold 9700. I put it on charge and played a bit with the battery and then it started working again :D Hope this helps you!

      Go to your Operator, it is still well under warranty.

    The problem with the bar is related to the mobile software; it's not a hardware issue. Installing BlackBerry Desktop Software and updating the software version should resolve this issue.

    I had the same problem, I went to SFR (Champs-Élysées), they reformatted it for me and since then it's working again!
    I advise you to go to the largest store of your operator if you want to have a chance that your phone doesn't spend a month in customer service!
    Unfortunately, many don't want to put in the effort...
    There you go ;)

    I have the same problem with the Bold: the red LED light started to blink continuously. My solution: shock the phone. That is to say, while the phone is on,
    remove the battery without turning it off with the button. Then, when putting the battery back in, it turns on automatically. And there, the problem was fixed...

    Hello Mimi, actually I returned my device to the operator who sold it to me, and they changed it for me... the problem was with the battery which was defective... there you go, you just have to do the same, good luck :)
