8520 wont accept new battery

My battery on my 8520 had doubled in size and i also got the white screen of death, but the battery still worked. but i had enough of charging it all the time, so i brought a new battery. the battery is the right one as ive looked it up several times and my chargers are working. however when i put my new battery in and put it on charge, the phone will not turn on and says there is no battery as the symbol comes up of a battery with a red cross. please someone help !!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
First off, this worries me:

If you mean that it had bulged out beyond it's original physical dimensions, then it may well have leaked something into your BB itself, damaging it. You should inspect the contacts and the battery compartment inside your BB for any visible corrosion...if there is such, it may be damaged beyond repair.
Beyond that, you can 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.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
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. Note that this has nothing to do with a "new" battery...while rare, new batteries are subject to a defect rate greater than zero...a truly "known good" (e.g., a friend with an identical BB and a battery that you know works fine) battery is needed...just be careful about transferring any corrosion to your friends BB...that would not be a nice thing to do to them.
Good luck and let us know!

    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on. Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially. Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Then you need to re-n=install iPhoto
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applcations Folder to the trash)
    2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only...’

  • Mac wont recognize new battery...

    i went down to the store and bought a new battery as the old one was/is dead. put the new battery in and back in service... well i got home and tried to start my computer up, it would not. plugged it into power cord started up and notice the battery was not recognized / available. i pulled it out, the battery, and slammed it back in. few minutes later it found it but then lost the battery.
    I have reset the power management unit but thats about it?
    Help! not sure if the connections are bad or what. is this a common problem?

    If it's an brand new battery, who knows how long it sat on the shelf? If it isn't just a faulty one, chances are it's been completely depleted. Leave it in your 'book for a full 24 hours, noting if the green lights on the bottom are indicating that it's charging. Sometimes it's so dead it can't even generate enough juice to tell the computer it's there. If it still doesn't charge or show up after 24 hrs, I hope you have your receipt, because it's time to take it back.
    Best of luck -- be sure to award points if I helped!

  • Since downloading iOS 7.3 I have lost all my calendar entries and it wont accept new entries. Is it me or the system?

    Since downloading iOS7.3 to my iphone 4, I have lost all my calendar entries and it won't let me create new entries either. Is it me or is it the system and if the latter how do I recover the data and add to it?
    I am not up dating the system on my ipad in case the same thing happens. They aren't syncing on this facility.

    Easy solution, thank goodness.  On your iPhone, go to settings, then to iCloud.  If your Calendar selection is turned off,  turn it on.  Your info should restore.  If your Calendar selection is turned on, then turn it off.  Choose to save calendars when asked.  After it shuts the Calendar off, turn it back on.  Your info should be restored.
    Thank you to Apple support for walking me through this.  Shame on you Apple for not just telling people about this easy fix rather than making us go through all of this pain and worry.

  • Certain folders wont accept new icons...

    Im trying to change some of my icons to give me a fresh new look thats hip and cool. I know the basic process to change them. But it seems that some dont want to change...Ill call the republican folders...No Im just kidding. But really whats going on with them?

    I tried that and it doesnt work. There must be a way to do this. What about going to the root icons folder and just dropping in the new set of icons so you dont have to go around and change every stinkin icon. That would be much easier...

  • New macbook pro wont accept password

    I moved everything over from my i5 MBP to a new i7 via utilities migration assistant. However the new macbook pro wont accept my password, nor will it recognise the other user account passwords. Works fine on the i5.
    In Disc Utilities, change password asks me to select an image, but does not light up "change" when I select user.
    Any ideas?

    Is you new MBP the 2010 model or is it a newer model running Mountain Lion?
    If it's a newer model running ML, you can simply boot into your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when you get to the Recovery window, select Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type
    resetpassword
    and hit Return. A small app will open that will allow you to change the password for the user that you select. Then just reboot and use the new password.
    If, indeed, you're running 10.6.4, you'll need the installation disc to use the Reset password utility.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • HT1476 my iphone wont charge even if im using new battery charger

    my iphone 4 wont charge even if im using new battery charger please help me how to fix it..

    Ignore the hysteria about destroying any Apple support by taking screwdrivers and levering devices to install batteries supplied from goodness knows where to you iPhone. Apple parts are NOT available from the Internet.
    Logic: the charger is faulty. You might have covered this.
    The cable is faulty. Have you tried a different cable?
    The docking port is blocked By pocket fluff or other detritus. Have you checked this, and/ or tried to clean it out?
    The phone is faulty: refer it to Apple.

  • I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

    I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

    There are two steps when entering a serial number:
    When you enter it in the 24-digit field, you should see a green checkmark. If you see a red x, you may have mis-typed the number, as Ben pointed out, it could be for a suite instead of a standalone product.
    If it takes the number and installs, then activation is the next step. If it fails to activate, you may have exceeded your activations or the number might have been retired.
    In that case, contact Customer Care with proof of purchase.

Note carefully that "new" and "known good" are not necessarily the same...while rare, a new battery can certainly be defective. Further, only by finding someone else with an identical BB with no issues can you actually trade batteries and narrow down if the problem is the battery or your BB.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Why won't Apple accept debit cards?  I ordered 2 new iPhones at ATT on Monday using my debit card.  I was just notified by ATT that Apple wont accept debit cards so my order cannot go through.  I don't use credit cards so I don't carry debt!

    Why won't Apple accept debit cards to buy an iPhone 5?  I ordered 2 new iPhones at ATT on Monday using my debit card.  I was just notified by ATT that Apple wont accept debit cards so my order cannot go through.  I don't use credit cards so I don't carry debt!  They (ATT) re-emphasized this is not their policy, but Apple's and that I would have the same problem if I went to Verizon.  Is this really the policy and if so why?  Apple has no problems accepting debit cards for my iTunes account?!

    I think this is an AT&T thing not an Apple policy, I had this battle with them before when the 4s came out.So this time I went directly to the Apple stor, I had no problem pre-ordering my Iphone5 on the 14th with my debit card, already shipped will be here the 21st. I'd go straight to the Apple store and purchase them there...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • Fried my battery with variable voltage charger... new battery; wont work

    so i plugged my ipod into one of those cheesy charge anything car adapters when it was on the wrong voltage setting. only took a few seconds before my ipod died, permanently... so i ordered a replacement battery and installed it... but for some reason it wont take a charge when i plug it into my comp... i figured the new battery was faulty so i got sneaky and popped the case off my girlfriends ipod and plugged my battery into it and connected it to my computer, and the **** thing turned on... so after my new battery was charged i took it out of my girlfriends and put it back into mine and it turned on... i was stoked, until i plugged it into my comp it said "battery low please connect to power source", beeped at me a few times and shut off. the battery has a full charge but it wont connect thru the usb cord to my computer or a wall charger... why cant my ipod connect anymore did i fry some internal circuitry as well as the battery... please offer any advice you might have im stumped and i cant just pull the case of my girlfriends ipod everytime i need a charge.

    I assume by wrong voltage setting, you mean you had it set too high? Was it connected to your iPod through a USB connection?
