Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Given what you describe, I think you've done all of the diagnostics that you can...kudo's to you for having thought to try what you did! But, what it indicates is a hardware-level problem in the BB itself, somehow not communicating properly with the battery. For this, only a qualified service technician with the BB in their hands can diagnose any further...and that can't be done at an internet-distance.
If your BB is still under warranty, then take it in for evaluation. Your warranty service provider is whoever you bought the BB from -- your mobile network provider or your authorized reseller would be who you go talk to next.
If your BB is out of warranty, then you can talk to those same folks about other options.
Good luck!

  • My bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign )

    my bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign ), i think the battery drained and switch it for charging but it will show only not charging sign . i bought this phone before 9 months, whats the solution for this ?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    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 an 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 carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • 8800, battery symbol with red line through it. Won't boot. Please help!!!

    I recently bought a 8800 and when I inserted a battery, all I got was a battery symbol with a red line through it on a dim screen.  I changed batteries, tried to charge it via USB and from a wall outlet to no avail.  I tried cleaning the contacts and tried uploading t a new  OS, but it wont recognize the phone being connected when it actually is.    I am at the end of my rope with this phone and can't figure out what else to do.  Is it just gone? Please help me 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    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.

  • Battery symbol with red line thru it

    how do you fix the blackberry with a battery symbol with a red line thru it?

    Try this first:
    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.
    Download Desktop Manager from here:

  • What does it mean when you see the battery symbol with red and black and an "lightening" symbol below it

    Why doesn't the battery on my new iPhone 4s last very long?  I charged it yesterday late afternoon.  Did not use it at all and it was completely dead this morning.

    All icons are covered in the User's Guide... might be a good idea to browse through it.
    Also, a simple search of these forums or google will result in a plethora of information regarding battery life.  Help yourself by doing a little research.

  • My kid just got an iPod 5th gen (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line and lightning symbol. No other response at all.

    Sorry about the long title.....its my first post.
    My kid just got a brand new iPod 5th generation (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line on left and lightning symbol below. There is no other response at all no matter what I do, including holding both buttons down for extended period.  My other kid got one and it works perfectly.....I have interchanged usb cables ports etc. but still no response....I would really appreciate any help.  

    Try:
    - 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.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem with the iPod. This is because as you said the same cable works with another iPod.

  • Torch Battery Dead with Red X

    Hello,
    I plugged my Torch in overnight to charge. When I woke up in the morning, the phone would not turn on so I took the battery out a few times and tried to reset it. When I plugged it into the charger and tried to turn it on, I got the battery symbol with a red X through it. 
    Does anyone know how to fix this?? Thank you! 

    1. Plug your charger into your BlackBerry and then into a power source (wall socket or car-charging socket, depending on your type of charger). If the screen does not immediately default to the full display clock or if the battery icon at the top left of your screen does not show the charging emblem, then the problem is with your charger. The connectors at the ends of the chargers will become loose after a period of use, and you may have to replace them. If your BlackBerry is charging just fine, proceed with the next step.
    2. Unplug the charger from your phone.
    3. Look at the battery icon at the upper left corner of your screen. If you see a red line across the icon, then the BlackBerry has detected that there is something wrong with the battery and you need to replace it. If there is no red line across the icon, proceed to the next step.
    4. Time the charge. With the battery icon showing that you have a full charge, keep track of the time your battery lasts. If you are getting less then three hours of talk time, your battery is not working properly. If you are getting less than six hours of standby, again, your battery is not working. If you unplug the phone from the charger and it immediately turns off, your battery is completely dead and needs to be replaced.
    Good luck!

    And yet many of us are very happy with our touchpads!  I have two of them, both dual-booting into either ICS or webOS.  I'm running programs that make iPad owners jealous.  
    Only problem I've had is a crack by the speaker... Sorry the two of you have become so jaded.

  • Touchpad Dead - Battery symbol with Questionmark

    Help!  my Touchpad 32gb will not boot! 
    I've let it charge for several days.  Pressing:
     Power button = nothing
    Power + hold center button = Battery symbol with questionmark
    Power + up vol. = nothing
    (I've tried all these combinations with it plugged in and as a stand-alone with no power cord)
    I've used several chargers, including multiple touchstones, and several OEM HP round wall chargers to  no avail.
    I have two touchpads (1 for me , 1 for my child) and all chargers work with the other touchpad.
    Any ideas on how to bring this back to life?
    When it died, it had been sitting on a touchstone, but slightly off center such that I don't think it charged properly.
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    A user reported recently he was instructed to hold the power switch and then press the center button quickly about 15 times in a row.  Might give this a try.
