BB shuts down, no reboot possible, red led flashes

Hi there,
I've got the following problem:
Suddenly my BB turns off, then tried to reboot itself, but there was only the white screen with an hourglass.
Then it turns off again. Now the red light is flashing three times - small pause - two times.
I even removed the battery but the problem still exists.
Can you help me?
Greetings,
torak

SOFTWARE NEEDS TO BE RELOADED ON THE DEVICE..
Try this to put the software on device..
Open DTM - then application loader. on the first screen, connect the blackberry WITH THE BATTERY OUT.
Leave it for up to 3 mins till you see the pin number flash under connections.
Then press next and then replacement the battery.
The follow the steps found Here.
This of course will only work if you actually have the Device software installed to the computer as well.
To check if you do, open up desktop Manager - Help - About Desktop Manager - Click Device Software Tab.
In here you should see the software installed to the pc listed.
If not, go to http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/do ... _sites.jsp to download the software specific for your carrier/device.
Failing all this, your carrier should have escalated the call to RIM to do a javaload over the phone with you before they authorised a replacement device. Oh well not to worry.
RIM do a javaload when the application loader won't recognise the device, with or without the battery in it.
Also make sure there is no other power going to usb devices and if a laptop, have it plugged into ac power.
Good luck and let us know how you go!
If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.
OR
If it was just/or also really helpful - Give it a Kudos.. Go on Mate.. Help the rest of the clueless blackberry user world find their answer too..

Shut down and Reboot problems

Hi All
I hope I can find help for my problem as it is getting really frustrating. I have Lenovo X230 tablet which used to run fine until it suddenly will not shut down or reboot. The screen will turn black however the small led lights on power and other button
will remain on and the the laptop will remain like this until I press the power button to physically shut it down. When I tried to restore the system to an earlier point, the laptop will not reboot and I had to press the button again to shut it down and then
power it up. It showed after that reboot was successful but to no avail. I tried to reboot it to even an earlier point (still I had to manually reboot it) but it failed. All drivers are up to date and I always install Windows updates as soon as they are out.
Still I have to push the power button when I install new windows updates when reboot is required because the screen will go black as I already mentioned with the power still on. I do hope to get helo with this.
Thank you
Qas

Hi,
As this problem occures with no symptoms, in my opinion, it would be better to make system restore to revert your system to a former normal time point for test.
If the problem persists after system resotre successfully, it would be better to contact Lenovo support to check Hardware problem.

My iPad frequently locks up, even after updating to iOS 7.1. When it locks up it's nonresponsive to the home button and the only remedy is to force a shut down and reboot. Help!

Sorry, darned auto correct. Sleep and home. The home is the button on the front of your iPad. The sleep button is also the power down button. It's on the upper right edge of your iPad.
My apologies for the typo. My keyboard is charging and the onscreen keyboard and I don't get along well.

Shutting down and rebooting from xfce4 (SOLVED)

I am wanting to shut down and reboot my system via xfce4. right now the two buttons are grayed out. I tried added myself to the power group by doing
gpasswd -a username power
That didn't seem to do anything at all. On the wiki, it talks about using dbus and hal (as an alternative to doing the sudo method) but i already have dbus and hal started by default and the two buttons are still grayed out.
if there is already a message like this please guide me there. Any help would be appreciated.
CORRECTION: adding myself to the "power" group did work.

Strange - I used the sudo-hack and it worked for me. But after it stopped working, I saw the new instructions and enabled both hal and dbus and voila, everything worked.
I did not add myself to the sys-group, so it should be something else. Did you install the whole xfce4-package or did you select certain packages? check if '# /etc/rc.d/hal restart' and '# /etc/rc.d/dbus restart' change anything...
Zl.
Fyi: i installed xfce4 and xfce4-goodies. I'll try your codes now.

problem: Sometimes when I shut down or reboot the screen goes black nothing happens except the laptop keeps running.I have this problem for some time but I didn't bother taking care of it because I had too much stuff on my mind so I can't pinpoint exactly when it all started.
I use systemctl poweroff/reboot in order to shut down/reboot my laptop.

Computer shuts down and reboots when downloading ios 5

my friend its trying to update his ipod touch 4th gen 64gb to ios 5 but both his i mac pro and windows 7 computer shuts down and reboots with the download gets to 50%

Searching the forum before posting is a good idea. This subject has been covered ad nauseum
Bottom line: Uninstall the Google Maps update by going to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Maps and hitting the Uninstall Updates button.
There is a bug in the GPS driver. Lenovo claims to be working on it. Do not install the maps update until Lenovo fixes it.

Because there is something wrong with the iPad? Try restoring the device with iTunes. Start with that.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

I have ipad mini 2 updated to ios 7.1.2. Now ipad keeps shutting down and rebooting to the apple logo. I factory reset and redownloaded software in recovery mode. Still happening. What else can I do?

I have ipad mini 32gb. I updated to IOS 7.1.2. Since then ipad keeps shutting down and rebooting to the apple logo. It happens so many times I cannot use the ipad. I have tried factory reset and reinstalled software in recovery mode. Ipad is only 1 1/2 years old and in great condition. Is there anything else I can do besides soend $200 to fix it?

Sounds like a hardware issue to me going by the CRC error you mentioned. I'd make a Genius Bar reservation (you'll need your Apple ID) if you have a nearby Apple Store and get it evaluated. The evaluation is free but repair/replacement could incur other charges.

X shuts down and reboots

Has anyone experienced the phone shutting down and rebooting. I can have my phone sitting next to me and it will go to a black screen and the eye pops up and reboots.

Rebooting of the DX was the major point why I returned that phone.
I had my DX for 4 days and it was rebooting constantly, about 7 - 9 times a day.
VZ tech told me that it is a known issue with DX and therefore I returned it thinking to get Incredible.
However, my brother-in-law that has Incredible and his phone reboots too (though not as often as my DX). That makes me thinking what if problem is not a phone (Droid X) in particular, rather than Moto Blur skin or Android OS in general.
I was reading that rebooting may in fact be related to Advance Task Killer if it is being set to Auto-Kill mode as it could be killing some running processes which are required by OS.If Auto-Kill is disabled and applications are being killed manually it should resolve reboot problem.
DX hardware has 512 MB of RAM but in my case I was ending up with less than 50 MB (less than 10%) of RAM only after an hour of phone just sitting there without single application being touched by myself. I understand that about 200 MB is being used by OS and another 100 MB is being used by all essential subprocesses (Moto Blur) but that should leave me with 200 MB of RAM not 50. Those little pesky bloatware programs that VZ forces on you should be either disabled, uninstalled, or not being loaded into memory constantly.
In regards to controversy of needed or not Advance task killer, I am personally felling that I needed that just to kill all of the bloatware that VZ placed on that phone and which is being loaded constantly into memory. So as far as I am concern, issue with reboot is all VZ fault and that is why this is a "known issue" for them.

My iphone 4 just shut down cannot reboot it?

My iphone4 shut down cannot reboot ...what do I do?

Im assuming you've already fixed this, but hold down both buttons for at least 15 -30 seconds while it's plugged into the computer and it should reboot. if that doesn't do it, try pulling the sim card. then try again. Beyond that take it to an apple store.

ITunes 7.6.2.9 freezing while syncing, won't shut down without reboot.

I've been lurking here for the past few days hoping to find a solution to my problem. So far nothing is working. Here's the scoop:
I have two iPods as seen below. iTunes updated the other day and I now have 7.6.2.9 which Apple reports is the most recent version. After this update I had synced the older iPod and did a firmware update on it (it isn't home very often so it had been a while since it's last sync). The Classic is normally synced every few days to keep it all up-to-date. After iTunes updated I started getting odd error messages when plugging in the Classic. One told me I had purchased content on my iPod that was not in my library... this could not be true as this iPod has never touched another computer to get such things and it syncs automatically. I told it to delete the stuff and sync, it seemed to work, but I noticed some of my songs had stopped playing. I looked around and all the suggestions on this issue were to restore the iPod. So I did. Thats when the fun started. For some reason 7.6.2.9 WILL NOT re-sync my iPod Classic. There are over 2000 tracks of audio that are now gone from my iPod because I restored it and the most I have been able to sync is around 200. Everytime I plug the iPod in and iTunes starts syncing (on both manual and automatic), iTunes freezes up and stops syncing the iPod. iPod goes from "synchronizing" to "connected".. but it hasn't finished transfering the songs. When this happens, iTunes WILL NOT shut down. Can't get to the iTunes screen... it's on the taskbar, but clicking it does nothing, nor will Alt+Tab take me there. Right clicking on the taskbar and selecting Close will bring up the "program is not responding blah blah blah" dialog box and I tell Windows to close it, but it will not. I can't even kill the process in the Windows Task Manager to get it to stop running. EVERYTIME I plug in my iPod, I end up rebooting my computer to get iTunes to stop running. This of course is leaving my iPod only partially sync'd. This is really making me mad. PLEASE somebody help!

FYI...
I think I found my problem. I'm doing a partial sync now to my iPod to see if it works. After going through every step possible including uninstalling iTunes 7.6.2.9 and rolling back to 7.5 without success I had pretty much given up to taking my iPod to the Apple Store to see if they could test it's hard drive. Which, makes me wonder why they took the HDD scan off the Classic's diagnostic mode and left the Firewire test which you can never complete.
While talking to my husband on the phone and explaining to him what it was doing and questioning whether his iPod had been acting strange... I ran across an article in iPod Support talking about how to fix issues with iPod not recognizing the hard drive properly and songs disappearing. It mentioned another of my symptoms... Windows kept treating it like a hard drive and wouldn't eject it when iTunes did. It had completely stopped ejecting on it's own afer a sync. The problem started out simple and progressively seemed to get worse.
The article mentioned a network drive causing the iPod to change drive letters and iTunes would sometimes put files meant for the iPod on the drive. I don't have any network drives connected.. haven't in about a year. So I shrugged it off at first... then it dawned on me. The iPod had always came up as drive K:. But now it was showing as L:. I had created a partition last weekend to install a second OS and it had taken the K: spot. Apparently my iPod did not like this and iTunes was too accustomed to it being K: that it would forget partway through the syncing process and start looking for K: again? I went into Disk Management and changed K: to Z: and the iPod back to K:. I have done a few small syncs with success (only certain playlists, etc). No error messages, the iPod ejects when it's done and the songs STAY on the iPod. I'm doing a larger sync now of about 800+ tracks. If that works, I'll put the remaining 2000 back on.
Apparently ever since the day I had both iPod's plugged in, the 5th Gen has been known as L:, so iTunes didn't see anything different with it when it synced. Mine had moved, however, and was throwing a temper tantrum!

No Warning shut down / No boot / No MagSafe LED

Hi,
I was browsing and listening to music on battery when, without warning, the music turned off and a few seconds later my MBP turned itself off.
Now, it won't start up anymore!
Symptoms:
No MagSafe led on (no green / no red / no color at all)
No noise of HDD or Combo drive at all
No visual sign at all
Looks pretty much like a clinical death!
Tried to remove battery and press start button for up to 10s, but it did not work.
Any idea on what might bring my MBP back to life?
Thanks for your support.
Tim

If you've had it for a year and have never calibrated your battery... there is a good chance this may be your problem. Basically, calibrating your battery completely discharges your battery and recharges it again. What this does is allows your MacBook to "know" how much time is remaining for a fully charged battery. Think about it this way... If you took a paper cup and stuck a pin in the bottom and timed how long it took for all the water to drain out, you would know how long it would take for the water to drain if you filled up the cup the next time. That's sort of what calibrating the battery does. If you don't calibrate the battery, over time, your MacBook loses track of how full or empty the battery may be and that makes it impossible for it to accurately "guess" how much time you may have left. As a result, it may think you have 40 minutes left when the battery is actually nearly depleted. Since the MacBook may think it has more time than it does, it doesn't know to shut down gracefully. In effect, the battery actually dies before the MacBook knows that the charge has gotten that low. You should calibrate your battery at least every other month or so.
This may not resolve your problem, but it's a good place to start.

Mail won't display the viewer window, and it will not close (force quit does not show in menu bar). Can't shut down to reboot because the open mail program prevents it. Any advice?

Mail does not show the viewer window even when new viewer window is cliced. I tried to close mail and reopen, but it will not close, and force quit option does not appear in window bar. I tried to shut down the computer and reboot, but it cannot close because of open mail program it says. Help!

Many thanks. Once I was able to close mail, it reopened and behaved quite normally. Thank you. I'll remember the option quit for force quite!
