BB Curve Will Not Turn On

Alright, so the other day me and some friends were at a waterfall and they were throwing rocks and one hit my phone, which was face up in my pocket, and cracked the outer plastic screen. Didn't touch the LCD. I took the phone out of my pocket and the screen was black, with the indicator flashing red. I took the battery out and put it back in and now it will not turn on at all, the indicator light doesnt flash red or anything.
Could it be the battery? or when the rock hit, it made a connection short out somehow?
Need help ASAP.

Sounds like something internally may be damaged or disconnected. At this point, doesn't hurt to watch a youtube tutorial and open it up to see what it looks like inside.

  • My BB Curve will not turn on; red light blinking

    My bb curve 8330 will not turn on, charge, or do anything other than flash the red light at me. I tried removing the battery and have tried charging it, but nothing seems to help. Any ideas?
    Solved!

    Nevermind, I resolved the issue by removing my memory card.

  • Blackberry curve will not turn on

    recently my blackberry curve 8530 has shut off and will not turn back on. i had it sitting on the charger because the battery was half way full and an hour later it randomly shut off.
    there is no sign of redlight. tried the battery pull multiple times and didnt work. i also plugged it into the computer which doesnt even recognize it. i took it to verizon and they said the battery was fine and that there was moister on the keyboard, so they told me to put it in rice for 2 days which i did and it did not work either. i also left it on the charger for a few days to see if it would help but nothing.
    if anyone knows how to fix this i would appreciate it. 

    most likely your battery died for real and would suggest you to bring it for a check. It's nothing to worry, battery failure happens and you won't lose you datas.

  • New Curve will not turn on-New to Blackberry

    I am hoping this is just stupidity on my part.  I just received my new phone. The red light comes on, the Blackberry icon appears with the progress bar.  The bar progresses about 1/2 way then the light turns off and I get a black screen.  This cycle continues - the light turns on, etc.  I have tried plugging it in to see if it is just the battery is low but no luck.  Has anyone heard of this before?

    Hello,
    In this case I would recommend using the loader application to try and reload the software on your BlackBerry smartphone. First make sure you download and install the software from your carriers website here: http://bbry.lv/cp57Eb.
    Loader.exe is located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Apploader.
    Make sure that the BlackBerry smartphone is connected directly to the computer if a laptop and plugged into the back if a desktop.
    Once you open the loader.exe application click next. In this screen you will see the connection box. Connect your BlackBerry smartphone at this time to see if it is recognized by the application. If it is not remove the battery and try to connect with out the battery (it should display USB PIN: UNKNOWN) proceed to click next and once the loading process starts replace the battery in the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Thank you

  • HELP! Curve will NOT turn on!!! Shows picture of battery crossed out

    Whenever I try to plug in my Curve to charge, it IMMEDIATELY shuts off, red indicator light stays on for a few seconds, then a white screen with a battery with a line through it appears.  Re-seeding the battery or plugging/unplugging does nothing.  If I do it enough times I can usually get it to randomly do a hard reboot (long time w/ hourglass) and then it will sometimes take a charge.  After extended use though, I'm right back where I started.  What can I do to fix it???

  • Blackberry will not turn on battery with lightening bolt

    i have a new blackberry curve 8900 i have charged it for 1 hour it still displays the battery and the device will not turn on please 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.

    There is a hardware problem.  Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

    Cconnect it to your computer with the latest version of iTunes installed.

  • My 4th gen iPod Touch will not turn on

    Over the last two years, I've battled with inconsistent performance from my iPod Touch 32GB 4th Gen. At some point, I think it got overheated, and I believe that's when the battery issues started. Here's an in-depth look at the various problems...
    1) The iPod will not turn on for weeks at a time. YES, I HAVE tried pressing the home button and wake button at the same time. Please do not suggest that I do that. When I plug it into either a USB port or my wall charger, the iPod will either A) not respond in 90% of cases or B) show the little charging symbol in the other 10%. If I unplug my iPod at this point, it shows the typical "Connect to charger" illustration. However, if I leave it connected to the wall, it will sit there, acting like it's charging, but never actually does. It never even gets to the Apple screen, and this often goes on for days. I have already tried "restore" mode in iTunes to no avail either.
    2) The iPod will charge (after weeks off of the charger), but only for about 25-30 minutes. Once I get it to turn on, it will only charge to about 20% usually, and then I have to remove and re-insert the USB plug to get it to charge further. I cannot use the iPod during this charging time, as it will deplete the battery and put it back in the state from number 1 for weeks. In connection to this problem, my laptop (primary charging source) now makes the sound effect of a USB device being inserted and removed fairly often, even when no iPod is connected, and when the iPod is connected, the USB ports will randomly charge (or not charge) my iPod.
    3) Even on full charge (that rare occasion), my battery life only lasts about an hour.
    I don't have a Genius bar anywhere near here, and this iPod is at least 3 years old, so it's not worth pouring a lot of money into to repair or replace. Any solutions?

    Not Charge
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    Sounds like at least a bad battery

  • Mid-2009 Macbook Pro will not turn on

    Hi Folks,
    so my mid-2009 15in Macbook Pro will not turn on. I updated the OS to Mavericks in December 2013. I'm from California, but I recently moved to the Guam/Marianas area where it is more humid and generally around 87 degrees F all day. For the past month my computer has worked fine, albeit I did notice the fan was running a little more than usual. I usually would just put it into sleep mode when I would finish using it (apparently a bad idea based off of reading other posts concerning humidity and, more importantly, heat). One day I finished using it, closed it and the next day went to open it; I could hear the fans start to work, but then it stopped. It hasn't turned on since. You press the power button and nothing happens. I tried all the troubleshooting stuff.
    So, my question is this: what do you think is the problem? Moreover, how much do you think it could cost to repair it? My experience with computers suggests to me that it's probably a dead motherboard. I'm wondering if it's worth trying to salvage this thing or if it would be prohibitively expensive. There are no Apple stores in the area to take it in to get advice unfortunately.
    Now, I just want to vent a little frustration. I have many apple products, and I've even switched my mother over to an apple computer, but now that I need some very basic support, apple doesn't provide a contact e-mail or a free chat? I think charging someone $19 for 'one time assistance' is ludicrous. I bet if I brought this into an apple store I could at least get some advice, and thus get some idea how I want to proceed with repairs or not. I suppose I'm also rather frustrated that my macbook, which I have been most happy with all these years, breaks because I go somewhere a little more humid and generally warmer? It would appear that the hardware failure is connected to the climate. This makes me skeptical about purchasing another mac if it can't handle a little humidity. (I have not spilled liquids on it, nor have used this computer while transitioning from an air-conditioned/humid location which could potentially cause condensation). I do not think I'm being unreasonable (yes I do think a $2500 computer should not fail after less than 5 years), but if you think I am unreasonable, please enlighten me.
    Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it.
    Ken

    Ken,
    the “Important Handling Information” in the little white manual that came in the box with your MacBook Pro states that its operating temperature range is from 50 °F to 95 °F (10 °C to 35 °C), and that its operating range of relative humidity is 5% to 90% (non-condensing). If your corner of the Pacific is outside of these ranges, the manual states that “Failure to follow these handling instructions could result in damage to your MacBook Pro”.
    I have no idea what problem your MacBook Pro has; since you’ve tried all of the troubleshooting stuff, you’ll need to somehow get your MacBook Pro to a qualified service facility to diagnose the problem. If the logic board does need to be replaced, it would probably cost hundreds of dollars for a replacement, and you might find that purchasing a replacement used MacBook Pro of the same model to be price-competitive with just replacing your MacBook Pro’s logic board.
    If you find Apple’s out-of-warranty policies unacceptable, then your only alternative to venting would be to purchase your next computer from a different company which has out-of-warranty policies more to your taste.

  • My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

    My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • My iPhone 3gs will not turn on, charge, or allow me to perform a hard reset. iTunes nor my computer recognizes it andthe screen wont light up at all. What can I do to fix this?

    I have an iPhone 3gs that is out of warranty. I purchased this phone from AT&T. Last night my phoone went completely dead (battery percentage was at 96% just moments before) and now will not turn back on. I have tried just about everything I have found on discussion boards- trying hard reset, plugging into itunes, charging for15-20 mins then holding down sleep and homebuton..... NOTHING works. This phone will not light up AT ALL. My computer wont even recognize it. Is there anything else I can do?

    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
