8310 Dead - Red Light

I've had my 8310 since March, and last week after I took out the battery at the stuck white screen. Now it will no longer turn on, and when I plug in the charger a red light comes on. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Go to Solution.

Try this...
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage).
If it doesn't boot--try using a wall outlet charger if you are not. If you are connected via USB to the PC, make certain that you have Desktop Manager (or the USB device drivers) installed, which you can download below.
Make certain your USB cable is connected to one of the PC's main rear USB ports. Not a USB hub, nor a monitor USB port, nor a USB port on the front of the PC.

Xperia z2 dead , red light blinking when connected to usb charging cable

My phone is totally dead, i cant do anything power button + volume up button , force restart button near the sim , and nothing happens , also when i connect to a usb charger the red light is blinking all the time . Please HELP ME i need my xperia z2 back to live....

Hi,
For how long time have the phone been connected to the charger? If the LED is blinking red, it sounds like the battery is completely flat. Thereby it can take a longer time before the phone indicates charging and/or powers on. I suggest that you connect the phone to the charger via wall socket and let it charge for 1-2 hours.

Iphone 4 dead, red light above the speaker

hey, my iphone suddenly died yesterday. i was texting, browsing normally and couple of minutes later it was dead (battery was almost full). i tried hard reseting it, connecting it to my mba and nothing, itunes doesnt even recognize it. couple of hours later i saw this red light above the speaker and after some googleing i found this discussion
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16706124#16706124
where it says that the red light means my iphone was damaged by water. the only thing i dont get here is HOW since i havent dropped it, nor used it outside in the rain haha. i am kind of confused because i dont know if its dead or not. right now it's resting in a zip bag full of rice but i dont get it. could someone help me? thanx
i mean, its an iphone 4, ive been using it for years and this is the first time this happens, battery works great, phone works great i dont wanna change it. the only good thing is that it's helping with my addiction to internet hahhaa, first 20hours were baaaaad. thank you

Hey there lildl110,
Let's get that iPhone 4 to cool down. It sounds like the phone overheated and needed a bit of a rest. Is it still too hot to touch? If you've given it some time to cool down please try the restart method,http://vz.to/1ciOvXw.
Keep us updated with results.

Z10 dead: red light blinks

My Z10 is dead. I was checking messages while the screen has become black and then the red lights has start blinking. It blinks 1-4. I've tried a battery pull, but it's dead. Sometimes, randomly, appears 'blackberry' on the screen, but the phone stucks on it. The pc doesn't recognize the Z10. Thank you for your help.

I tried the step by step procedure however the software won't update. Th screen shows
"Software update encountered an error". A connection to the device could not be established.
However, the BB Link screen shows that BBZ10 is connected.
Is there still hope?
Thanks!

Help me - iPod Shuffle 4th gen is probably dead - red light for 5 seconds

Hello,
sorry for my bad english. I hope you can help me.
I have iPod Shuffle 4th gen. I have it for one year. When I today tried to charge it, after connected to my PC (in the right USB port) I heard sound of connecting device but in Windows in My Computer nothing happened. On the iPod the diode emitted the red light for 5 seconds and then turned off. I have iTunes and iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod too.
Does anybody know what is wrong?
Thanks

Hey StatistaXS,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like your iPod shuffle may have had a very low charge when connecting to your computer:
iPod shuffle: Checking the battery charge - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1510
If the iPod does not turn on after charging for an acceptable amount of time, it may need to be serviced. But first, check out the relative steps in this resource:

I'm going ot leave it plugged into the wall charger over night to see what happens..earlier today I pluged it in and took the battery out to see what would happen and the red light turned off but nothing came up on the screen. When i went to put the battery back in nothing came up no screen not red light. it took me several tries to get the red light back. i've used other batterys and with no luck...please help me out i would hate to pull the plug

Phone doesn't turn on, solid red light, requires send back BUT I have a request.

I've essentially figured out that my Z10 needs to be returned for some sort of warranty / repair, however I'm really hoping that we can request that the data on the phone be saved rather than it just be lost forever. Is this possible? There are many important notes that haven't been backed up.
Symptoms: Phone doesn't turn on, red light comes on solid for a few minutes and then turns off. Connecting it to a computer doesn't result in anything (no computer connection, no change in phone).
I am with Bell, and I even live in Kitchener (I could personally drop into BB to sort this out) I wanted to check here as a last resort before sending it back.
Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I used these steps from Geek Squad and it worked for me.
Restore BB10
When a BlackBerry 10 device is only flashing the red light and refusing to boot up, this indicates that the device’s operating system has become corrupted. The flashing light may follow the pattern of 1, 2 or 3 short blips, with a longer pause between the sets.
In order to fix this, you need to re-install the operating system on the device, which will then set the device back to its original factory state.
Please note: this process will completely wipe your device, so please make sure you have a backup of your personal information available to restore before going through this process.
Download and install the latest version of BlackBerry Link for your computer.
Open BlackBerry Link software.
Plug in the BlackBerry device using your USB cable.
At the bottom left of the program, find the device you're having issues with and select it by clicking on it.
The BlackBerry Link application will then ask to either reconnect or reload the device software. Choose Reload.
Confirm the reload when prompted to do so, which will wipe clean any data previously on the handset.
Allow the reload to complete, which can take some time. Whilst this is underway, the device will have a solid green light. This process of downloading and reinstalling the device can take an hour or more, depending on the speed of your internet connection, soplease don't disconnect the BlackBerry until the process has finished.
Once the restore is complete, simply set up your device again, or restore it from a previous backup stored on your machine. However, if you want to restore a previous backup, remember to sign in to your BlackBerry ID on the device first! If you're not sure how to do this, we have a full guide available.
The good news is, this process is almost identical on both PC and Apple Mac. Simply follow the same process as above. Finally, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

After upgrade attempt for 8310, device will not restart -- only blinking red light

Problem: I tried to upgrade the device software to 4.5, and now THE DEVICE WILL NOT RESTART AT ALL. Not with a hard reset. Not using the SIM and battery from my 8310 and putting it in hers. Nothing. Just a red light that blinks in a pattern: two quick blinks, then a pause; two quick blinks, then a pause, etc.
Background: This 8310 had vers. 4.2.2 device software, and something like 2.6 on the desktop. I downloaded/upgraded to 4.6 for the desktop and 4.5 for the device from the AT&T site. The Desktop manager prompted me to install the new device software... looking good. After several minutes, I got an "unknown error" message and it stopped the install.Following a support article, I uninstalled reinstalled both updates, but then the problem occurred: no NOTHING happens on the device screen at all, just the blinking red light when the device is plugged in.
The AT&T store tells me this is about the tenth "dead" Curve he's seen in about a week, apparently all occurring when folks have attempted a software updgrade. Any thoughts/help to offer?
Please help!

IPhone dead and won't charge - strange dim red light

Good morning,
I was talking with my sister last night when my IPhone phone shut off. I assumed that my battery died so I put it on the charger. When I went back to get my phone off the charger I noticed that it did not charge at all. I tried doing a reset holding down the home key and the shut off key together and it still won't turn on. I left it on the charger overnight and this morning it is still dead. I noticed this morning in the dark that I can see a very low dim red light by the ear piece speaker at the top of the phone.
At this point, I am at a complete loss. I have no idea what to do. We leave on vacation tomorrow and at this point, I have no phone. Very scary for me since we are going to Florida and my oldest daughter is going to California. I need to be in contact with her while she is gone. Any help and good news is much needed!
Thank you so much for taking time to read this post!
Sincerely,
Angela

I would say when an iPhone normally dies it when plugged in does eventually give you an icon like an empty battery indicator then later I would say it turns on with an apple. If your under warrenty or with any extended warrenty insurance. I would call Verizon and say that your phone won't turn on at all and you want a replacement . It should take a day to get or go to apple and ask to replace.

Red light and dead

When I start it up and it worked weel, but after around 2 minutes, I saw a red light visible through the front mesh and it dead. I have another one macpro, it just go to red light directly.

Playbook is dead with a blinking red light

My playbook went dead and does not come back even if I charge it for 24h.
If I push the start bottom a blinking red light come up. I try to re-boot it pushing all bottoms and does not work.
Also I have tried to dowload new software through my laptop but never complete it and get stuck in the middle.
Any idea anyone???
Thanks,

Many others have had this problem - first thing to do is check to make sure your are using the charger that came with your PlayBook. Also check the threads at the top of forum for oft-asked questions. For your convenience here is a link that might help. Good luck.

Bold 9930 - dead and flashing red light

Bold - Verizon 9930, died with flashing red light, non-responsive. Can connect wtih loader, re-loading latest OS for Verizon (7.1.0_rel1737_PL5.1.0.429_A7.1.0.580_Verizon_Wireless) Load fails with "application loader was unable to connect with your device" when it tries to connect with the JVM. I have tried:- fully charged known good battery (tested in another 9930)- wiping device- start without battery, insert battery when JVM message comes up- both BB desktop and Loader directly- two different PCs (no change)- different USB ports- older version of BB OS for device- many, many iterations... All end with "application loader was unable to connect with your device" Is the device scrap? If so why? It's not even 2 years old, out of warranty, and apparently now totally worthless. This one is the CEO's Blackberry, and he's not happy... If I can't resolve this, it will be the very last BB to ever see the inside of our company. This is the second 9930 to die this way in the last 4 weeks.

Hello,
Firstly...

Does RIM care about these failure issues at all I wonder?
If you were hoping for a response from RIM, you have misunderstood the purpose of these forums. These are not a channel for any communications with, support from, nor escalation to RIM for anything. Rather, these are a user-to-user community of volunteers trying to help each other out amidst their own busy lives. So patience perhaps would be a good thing to have...
Nevertheless, please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
While you've already validated that your battery is good, I don't think you've tried the first part of this test:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
While perhaps redundant to what you've already attempted, here are a few more things to try:
KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
KB27956 How to recover a BlackBerry smartphone from any state
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
Since you are out of warranty, your next step I suppose would be to seek in-hand support from a qualified technician to give you a proper diagnosis. Doing such at this internet distance is quite a challenge and therefore cannot replace in-hand evaluation and diagnosis.
Good luck and let us know!
