8800 does not power on but shows the charging symbol! HELP!

Hello everyone,
I have been searching for days now across the web for a solution to a very bugging situation. A'las i am close to giving up. someone please try and help. So here is the problem: I recently bought a 8800 rim (branded for cingular/AT&T but UNLOCKED) from ebay powerseller with 100% rep. it was advertised in MINt condition.
It arrived two days later and seemed in great physical condition.
So i plug in the charger and let it charge for more than 8 hours. I try turning it on but to no avail. During the charge the screen goes dimly on and shows a battery with an electric bolt going through (I assume that means charging..).
It initially seemed to me as a battery problem. So i took it to a local store and borrowed one of their batteries for 8800 and the phone started working fine also made a call with my temporary T-mobile sim inserted. (although their battery was also on low charge)---
So i come home and with a new OEM 8800 battery. plugged it in and charged for like 4 hours and the screen goes on with the charging symbol but does not power on.
I have repeatedly searched through the WWW and came across wide variety of dilemmas but none were any helpful. I also tried installing the latest OS...which also spectacularly failed [got an error that ...loading failed during the mult-load seesion...or something like that. I followed several very well written guides [advising that the manager and OS be installed on PC and etc.].
SO I MAKE A DESPERATE REQUEST FOR HELP FROM ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP. WHAT'S THE DIAGNOSIS WITH THIS BB. IT WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH THE BORROWED BATTERY FROM A LOCAL STORE..EVEN MADE A CALL AND EVERYTHING...BUT WITH THE BATTERY THAT CAME WITH THE eBay PURCHASE AND THE THE BRAND NEW THAT I BOUGHT....IT DOES NOT POWER ON.
BESIDES HOW LONG SHOULD I BE CHARGING IF IT IS NEW OR IF THE PHONE HAS NOT BEEN IN USE FROM SOME TIME??
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Please help ASAP.

How are you charging the BlackBerry? Do you have a wall charger or are you charging via USB cable from your PC? Its also possible that the charging circut in your BlackBerry is faulty. This would explain why a charged battery works while your uncharged battery is not.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • Genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge

    genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge - went to Apple in Milton keynes to get a replacement charger this weekend that does not work as well!

    Well, if this problems is so old I think it is strange that Apple hasen't fixed the bug long time ago, and certainly after the release of iOS 8.1.
    Well, thank you very much for your answer, Lawrence Finch. I think the best thing to do is to send the phone to repair, if there is no solution to fix this by my self. I will anyway call the Apple support tomorrow, but I don't think they will illuminate me...

  • Screen/Computer does not Power Up when life the Display from being Closed

    Sometimes (not always), when i come back to my MacBook Pro and open the display after it has been closed for a bit, the screen and computer does not power back up or anything. If you look at the screen there is a very FAINT image on the screen of whatever was open when the screen was closed, but you can't do anything, nothing is responsive, etc. I have to hold down the power button until it turns off, and then right before it turns off the screen will power up for one second and then shuts off. Any ideas?

    I am having a similar issue when transitioning from my external display via the Mini Display to DVI adapter back to the internal LCD. The screen will go black, the machine will not sleep if I close the lid, and none of they key commands appear to work. The only response I can get is the caps lock key will turn off and on. When I restart the machine, I get no details on a Kernel Panic, or anything else, so wondering if it has something to do with the video drivers.

  • HT204266 Iphone 5 The power down button does not power down it locks the keys how do I make that go to power down?

    My iPhone 5 power down button does not power down it sounds like its taking a picture the locks everything up. The power down button and the home button. I want to smash this phone!!

    hello WallyWalsh, if this warning is showing up you might have to reset the homepage to the version that is used in firefox 4 & above (the old homepage will show the warning you have referenced). to change it go to firefox > tools > options > general & reset the homepage to the default (that's '''about:home''').
    to set up sync between your pc and the tablet, go to ''firefox > tools > sync'' & create a sync account - for detailed information about it please refer to [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]

  • Imac g4 does not power on, but everything checks out???

    Alas, my (formerly) trusty imac does not power up anymore. I've tried every step in the service manual up to the point of replacing hardware, and so far no luck. Details of the machine, the problem, and what I've done follow.
    The short story is that I'm faced with replacing the power supply and/or the logic board after both passed the diagnostic tests recommended in the service manual. Since they both passed the tests, my hopes for success are not high, but at the same time, replacement costs for the two (if I wind up replacing both) run about the same as a replacement machine on ebay! On top of that, I suspect the diagnostic tests available do not test one power supply output -- so maybe it's bad but I just can't tell.
    I would appreciate any advice on the situation. Also, does anyone know if the power supply for the 1st gen machines (800MHz, 15") is supposed to have both 12V and 5V outputs? Thanks a bunch!
    The computer: iMac G4 flat panel 800MHz, working fine from purchase in January 2002 (right after they came out) until August 2006
    The situation: I moved to Japan. Upon unpacking the imac, it would not power on -- no screen, no bong, no sleep light, no fan noise, nada.
    What I have tried:
    -- taking it to the apple store (they quoted a $500-$800 repair -- ouch!);
    -- opening it up and looking for lose wires, burned out power supply components, etc.: nothing found
    --try new power cable; test line filter: everything okay
    -- reset PMU: no change
    -- test battery: checks out, 3.58v; returned battery to imac, reset PMU: no change to computer (i.e. still no power)
    --test power supply and logic board points as per service manual instructions; 12 V registered at all points. tests passed. But I wonder: I have read the the PS for some imacs are supposed to have a 5V output too, but there is no test for that output on this model. I wonder if there is a 5V output on this model, and if there is a way to test for it?
    for those of you counting, that was 2 resets of the PMU, one before i removed and reinserted the battery, and one after. Both PMU resets were done by pressing the button once and holding for about 1 second.
    thanks any and all!

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Whilst some iMac G4 models share similar components many differ subtly.
    Use this website to compare part numbers against model.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My Powerbook will not power up, but I can hear the fan running...

    Please help!! My Powerbook will not power up, but I can hear the fan running when I press the power button to attempt to power it up. I just received a new power adapter because it wasn't working properly and it was doing this before and then it worked for a week and now it will not power up at all. It just starts the fan but nothing else turns on. When I plug the adapter, with the battery still connected, it will look as if it is charging but then the light on the plug turns from green to orange then off and doesn't power up at all. If I take the battery out and plug in the adapter, the light stays on but it does not power up except for the fan noise. Does anyone have any suggestions? I also followed the two articles listed online in regards to resetting the power setting and the command + alt + P + R as well. Nothing works. Thanks in advance.....

    Same here. If I start up with the power adapter attached, it starts up fine. If I try to start up from battery only, the fan comes on, the sleep light comes on but nothing else happens. I tried letting it sit that way for about 15 minutes and nothing changed. I tried attaching the power cord while in this mode and nothing changed. I tried the PMU reset a couple of times but nothing helps.
    This computer is just over 1 year old and I have not had any problems with the power cord (3rd party), the battery, or any problem like this before. It started after a proper shutdown last night and attempt to start without the power cord this afternoon.
    Any answers to this yet? I think I'll call on this and report any success to this discussion.

  • Power button lights up  for a few seconds but does not power up

    Hello
    my computer froze up so i shut it down via the power button but now it does not power on when pressing the power button the button lights up but as soon I let go the light goes out and nothing happens not noise form the computer
    anybody can help.

    Hi, racb -
    Try resetting the PMU - Article #HT1939 - Resetting CUDA/PMU
    Also, it may be time to replace the internal battery. Those batteries have an expected life of about 4 to 5 years; leaving the machine disconnected from live power regularly or for an extended period can reduce that time a lot. You can get a replacement at places like RadioShack for about US$18, cheaper on-line.

  • Hierarchy Viewer does not load after clicking on the + icon

    Premise: I have a hierarchy viewer with multiple levels of master-detail with different VOs.
    The inputs to the taskflow containing this page are the key and VO type. The tree should render until that VO which matches the type and key and all the next level children under it. The user can expand the nodes under these children at will to drill further.
    Issue: I am able to render the tree with results. When I click on the + icon to drill on the children, I see that the backend code for fetching the children is called. But, the tree does not display. It shows the loading icon forever.
    Example:
    Organization - PO - POItem - Vendor - VendorSite -VendorAddress
                                                           - Responsible - ContactDetails
                        - Project - SubProject - Location
    TaskFlow Input: Vendor, 12345
    The tree should dispaly Organization - PO - POItem - Vendor(12345) - VendorSite(for 12345)
                                                                                                        -Responsible(for 12345)
    If the user expands any of the VendorSites, the VendorAddresses should be shown
    Technical Details: JDeveloper Version: 11.1.2.1.0
    Code: To filter the children, I am overriding the CreateViewLinkAccessorRS in the VOImpls. I am passing bind variables to the VO criterion to check the paths.

    @Arunkumar: Yes, I ran the AM tester and I am able to see the results properly for all the VOs and levels.
    I created a sample on the HR Schema and tested. I see that when I click on the Employee node for expansion(can be checked with the data or the short description), it hangs with the load icon.
    I do not see anything in the log other than:
    <RegionRenderer> <encodeAll> The region component with id: r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance. It is recommended that you restructure the page fragment to have a single root component.
    I do not see any upload options here to give my testcase. So, I uploaded to this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vybip3owzuziz86/HRHierarchyViewer.zip
    Please let me know if I can do this elsewhere for easy access.

    Hey terremo,
    Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:
