Hi mustafa_jamesbond,
To resolve this issue with your BlackBerry® Pearl™ 8100 smartphone, please try to back up your data using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software and perform a clean reload of your BlackBerry® Device Software.

  • 8703e shows Battery with Red Slash, does nothing else

    I've had a 8703e on Verizon service for about 20 months. Currently, upon inserting battery status light shows red for only a few seconds and then the device only shows white screen with a battery icon with a Red Slash through it. No response to pressing any buttons (other than CAP-ALT-DEL), including On/Off. (Note: I can attempt to post image of screen if required.)
    Earlier in the day, I used the phone for about a 30 minute conversation, then enabled my Bluetooth hands-free device for drive home. About an hour later I turned off my hands-free device and left the phone in my jacket pocket while at the gym. After another hour when I checked for my messages, I only had the screen described above.
    I've tried: 30sec battery removal w/ no USB, 60 minute battery removal w/ no USB, also tried CAP-ALT-DEL to reset. None of these have resolved this situation.
    I usually charge device nightly and do not have linked to an e-mail service. I basically use device for phone, address book and note-taking. I do leave Bluetooth-detect enabled to connect to my hands-free device.
    Request assistance in resolving this issue. Would like to know if device can be recovered/is still usable and/or if all files/address book data will be lost with any suggested solution (fear it's gone already).
    Thanks in advance. I appreciate you assistance.

    Try to make clean OS reload as bumblepie advised before.

  • Help! Battery with red slash appears when I plug in charger!

    This past weekend I woke up to find my blackberry unresponsive with a battery icon with a slash through it. I fiddled with it and took out hte battery a couple of times and it came on normally. Monday I plugged it in to charge and same thing. Tonight, knowing what evil would probably happen, I plugged in the charger and bam. battery with slash again. This time the battery was just about dead before putting on the charger but the other times it was about mid charge. Is it dead for good this time and should I just go suck it up and buy a cheap replacement? hah Phone will be a year old next month.

    This is happening because of your bettrey. I would recommand you to buy an original RIM accessories. But before doing so what you can do is get a similer battery from your friends or peer to check your device condition.

  • My battery drained. Screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min.  Should I wait or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc.

    My battery drained. Pluged in to wall but screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min.  Should I wait longer or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc.  Will a hard restart wipe all that out?

    Agree with Richard:
    -Your device needs both the CR and LF. To accomplish this:
    option 1: Concatenate the "end of line" string constant (this is a combination of CR and LF, located in the string pallete) to all your outgoing commands. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is false.
    option 2: Concatenate only a CR to your command's strings. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is TRUE AND that the termination character is set to 10 (meaning LF) which I think is the default.
    Details can be seen in this link:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/862567530005F09C862565BE005AB500
    "Adding Termination Characters to VISA Serial Writes in LabVIEW"
    Interesting would be to configure the serial port to accept not one but two termination characters. The above links refers to the document "Developer Zone Tutorial: Termination Characters in NI-VISA.", where this is supposed to be possible. The document however is 404'ed.
    If someone find a working link please post it.

  • The dreaded battery with red line (battery not detected)

    I've tried everything I can find to fix this problem...  a little while ago, I was writing a text message when my 8900 decided to reboot.  When it came back, all that was on the screen (and all I've seen since) is the battery with a red line through it.  I've done battery pulls, charded for more than a day using both USB and directly into a wall... I tried to wipe and reinstall but have been unable to complete the procedure (symbol reappears part way through)....  anyone out there have anything else I can try?  Here is a bit more about the attempt to wipe and reinstall the OS:
    Downloaded and ran JL_Cmder, was unsuccesful, it wouldn't connect to the phone.  Ran AppLoader from command prompt, finally able to get it to connect to the phone by unpluging from the usb, removing and replacing the battery and plugging back in immediately as the red light came on.  Got through removal of applications and instal oif JVM and system files, on the step where it waits for the device to initialize, it stops and the battery/line comes back on the screen....
    any further thoughts/advice are greatly apprecaited.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Mine is doing the exact same thing...We are not the only users who have run into this SAME problem. I have searched everywhere for a solution. I've tried JL, BBsak, DM, and crackmem. Nothing works...can't seem to connect

  • Torch 9800 battery with red X

    hi i have a 9800 torch when i place the phone on charge, the red led light turns on 4 like 10seconds then turns off thereafter a battery sign with a red x appears over it, i have tried another battery with no luck.i have connected it to a pc and the pc detects the phone and pin.im not sure if its hardware or software,tried to upgrade software but the phone disconnects at the "reconnecting to RVM" part. PLZ HELP

    Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the charging 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 reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.
    If it doesn't boot--try using another wall outlet charger or just another wall outlet. If you are connected via USB to the PC, make certain that you have Desktop Manager (or the USB device drivers) installed.
    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.

  • Battery Icon with Red Diagonal Line

    My phone is displaying a Battery icon with a red diagonal line.  I figured the battery had finally died and ordered a new battery.  When I installed the new battery it displays the same thing.  I have tried the Support Q&A and unplugged from the charger, removed the battery, waited a while, reinstalled the battery and then plugged into the charger.  Nothing.
    I tried the same procedure but used the USB cable to try to charge through the USB in case my charger was the problem.
    I have waited for a while now and the icon is still displaying.
    Any help?
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    Yep! Same issue with my 8800.
    Bought a new wall charger as well as a new battery as the old one had expanded.
    Let's see how it goes.

  • Battery with Red X--HELP

    Hi,  I pulled the battery to do a reset and when I put it in now all I get is a battery with a red x over it.  This is the original battery charged with the charger that came with the phone.  I also have another Blackberry battery made and this battery also does the same thing.
    PLEASE HELP!
    Sarah

    Try this:
    Plug the phone to a wall charger without a Battery then reinsert the battery as soon as you get the Red X

  • Battery with Red X

    Hi, I was charging my phone and all of the sudden it turned of and appeared on the screen a battery with a Red X on it. I tried changing the charger, the battery, dropping it ( like some people said that worked) and it does not turn on and does not charge either. What should I do? I wanted to contat BB, but it seems that they don't have a phone. Please HELP!! Thanks!!!

    Calling that number will not help you.  It's either not a BlackBerry number, or they won't answer with a live person.  The only way you talk to RIM for support free of charge is by your carrier escalating your situation to RIM.  In order to do that, you first have to call your carrier for support.  If they can't help you, you can then request that they escalate your problem directly to RIM.
    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    The OEM Rim battery colors are as follows:  8830 is lime green, 8330 is dark blue, 8130 is orange.  You cannot mix these batteries, they are not interchangable.

  • Timeline cursor has a Left/Right Arrow with red diagonal line

    I am trying to edit a timeline in Premiere, but the cursor changes to a Left/Right arrow with a red line across it.  I've never seen this cursor before in CS4 and it is preventing me from moving clips in the timeline.
    I tried to take a screen grab to show you all, but the cursor is always hidden in the final grab.
    I resorted to drawing the curson in MS Paint.
    I feel like such a *******.
    I have searched high and low on Google.

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe Premier and trying to find the key command to move the cursor in the timeline from the beginning of one clip to the beginning of the next clip, and back, or as a way of quickly scrolling through clips one at a time.
    In FCP I use the arrow commands.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks!
