BlackBerry Curve 8520, no red light, black screen.

Hi Everyone,
I upgraded my phone to a blackberry cure 8520 about 3 weeks ago, and I haven't dropped it or anything. It has been very well taken care of. Now the screen is completley black, and its plugged in but the red light doesnt turn on and if I try to turn the phone on nothing happens (No White Screen, No Red LIght, NOTHING!) Like i said this phone is not very old, and it was working a couple of hours ago and had almost half of its battery power left. The problem happened after I plugged the blackberry in. It was fine until then. I dont know what to do! Any suggestions?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Try a battery pull (hard reset) as your first step.
Thanks,

  • Blackberry curve 8310 Solid red light

    I have what i have come to read online for the past 2 hours as the red light coma. After trying a couple of things out i've found im not to handy when it comes to electronics. I've tried the Jl Cmder wipe but for some reason the program doesn't install on my computer. I'm going ot leave it plugged into the wall charger over night to see what happens..earlier today I pluged it in and took the battery out to see what would happen and the red light turned off but nothing came up on the screen. When i went to put the battery back in nothing came up no screen not red light. it took me several tries to get the red light back. i've used other batterys and with no luck...please help me out i would hate to pull the plug

    JL_Cmder is your only hope.

  • Dropped blackberry curve 8520 - now stuck on white screen

    Hi
    i dropped my phone (with it's case on)  and I'm now stuck with the white screen.  It's still 'alive' as the alerts sound for email etc and I've backed it up to my computer, but I can't get the screen to go.  I've tried a reboot, but still no joy.  Please help!!

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    I feel for you my Storm 9550 and Curve 8330 are
    currently in a bag of rice as a result of a misplaced can of  Coke.
    There are many shops where you can buy the replacement part for the
    repair and YouTube has videos on the process.
    Please note: This will invalidate your warranty.
    One last thought is while the screen shows a malfunction you may have other damage that hasn't showed up yet.
    I can suggest a repair shop with fair prices and excellent repair.

  • My blackberry curve 8520 is not turning on it shows a red light

    My blackberry curve 8520 will not turn on it shows a red light flashes 2x then my keypad lights an thats it nuthing else happens please help me i havent got a usb cable so cant use blackberry desktop manager

    Hello Hasanm52,
    Welcome to the community!
    Seems OS is corrupt, so you have to arrange a USB cable to connect your devci with the pc.
    Procedure to install OS:
    1.) Download and install blackberry device software of Blackberry 8520 from www.blackberry.com.
    2.) Install it in your PC & connect your device with PC.
    3.) Access path c:\prog. files\Common files\ Reasearch in motion\ App loader\ now dowble click on loader.exe
    4.) Further procedure i very user friendly, so please follow steps (may take approx 90 mins).
    5.) In between, it will prompt you to take backup as well, so do take care while clik next or continue.
    Good luck..!!!
    Before doing above activity you may try
    By pulling out battery & connect device with charger without inserting battery & wait for 5 to 10 mins.
    Itwill prompt you a no battery sign on your handheld, once you get the sign on your handheld, insert battery without un plugging charger 7 wait for another 5 to 10 mins. Hope this will work for you....
    otherwise you have to perform the first procedure, i mentioned...
    Thanks....!!

  • HELP PLEASE! Blackberry curve 8520 - keep getting stuck on "white screen"

    Hi i only have this blackberry curve 8520 for like 3 days and already its getting stuck on the "white screen" i experienced this problem with my previous blackberry and after several battery removals it broke and wouldnt turn on again and NOW this new blackberry with the same white screen problem! please HELP ME ANYONE PLEASEEEEEEEEE!!!
    thanks  

    Do you have a media card installed? If so, remove the battery while the phone is powered on, remove the media card (leave it out), then reinsert the battery and let the phone fully reboot. See if that makes a difference or not.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It seems that you have not installed the correct blackberry software for your device, or might be select the incorrect carrier for your blackberry handheld. You need to download the correct blackberry software with your service provider and before installing the software, disconnect your BB device from the computer and then install it with proper administrative privilege.
    After installing the software on your computer, make sure to hard boot your blackberry handheld before connecting it to your computer. If the same problem persists, then use JVM Loder to complete wipe your blackberry device memory then connect with the desktop manager and install the software.
    Good luck..!!!

  • My blackberry curve 8520's screen keeps going white

    i have a blackberry curve 8520 and for about the last 2-3 weeks the screen has been going white nearly everyday at random times . last night i was watching a video on my phone on youtube and the screen went white . this also sometimes happens when i am watching videos on youtube , when i am surfing the internet on my blackberry throughout wi-fi , its sometimes just happens when i am just on the blackberry and after a reboot . when the screen does go white i take the battery out and put it back in ,it reboots and sometimes just before the reboot is finished it goes white or even after the reboot is finished it goes white straight away. i then have to put it on charge throughout the blackberry charger or the blackberry usb . yesterday i downloaded blackberry desktop manager and connected my blackberry to it and done a back up and then i tried taking the battery out and putting it back in and i never got the white screen but i started getting it again . please help and please be specific on what is causing this and how i can stop/prevent it 

    Hi Solidbass,
    You need to consider updating/reinstalling your device OS again.

  • My Blackberry Curve 8520 turns itself off, lock and get a white screen.

    Whenever I'm making a connection, it starts to give strange noises during the call and ends up shutting down completely. When I try to turn it on again, it starts loading the OS, when the progress bar loads halfway, he gets the white screen and locks up completely, making it impossible to use again. The Blackberry only back to work only when connected to the battery charger. I hope someone can help me! Thanks in advance. The text can be somewhat meaningless, because I'm from Brazil and translated using Google Translator.

    Hi denisssilva94,
    Welcome to the Support Community!
    I would suggest first testing your BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 smartphone with another battery to rule out any issue with the battery itself.
    If you have the same issues when using another battery, please try to back up your data using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software and perform a clean reload of your BlackBerry® Device Software.
    For further instructions, please see the following KB articles.
    For Windows®: "How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device Software for Windows" http://bbry.lv/GI9beY
    For Mac: "Perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Mac computer" http://bbry.lv/J0UN1U
    Please test to make sure the issue has been resolved before restoring any data from your backup file.
    Hope this helps.

  • Blackberry Curve 8520 Keyboard not working

    A few months ago the keyboard of my Blackberry Curve 8520 stopped working out of the blue, I checked the water damage indicator and it is was still white.  I left the phone and used a spare one, so I knew it was nothing to do with the sim card.  Yesterday I decided to check on my blackberry and it worked! Then this morning at 8am the alarm went off, I turned it off and left my phone alone but when I went to use it at 8:30 it had completely stopped working, not even the trackpad.  A few hours later the trackpad started working again but that's it, no keys or any of the side buttons.
    So now as soon as the screen goes black that's it you have to do a battery pull to get the screen to light up again.
    This is very annoying and has been going on since April now and I would really love to know what causes it, anyone know?

    If you can tell that it is not a harware issue or what not, then it may be a software issue that can be fixed by a clean reload. Please check the link below to guide you through the steps.

  • My Blackberry curve 8520 wont turn on or charge

    My blackberry curve 8520 doesnt turn on and when i try to charge it , there is just the red LED light and the screen shows up some picture which shows a red cross on top of a battery. I also tried to connect this to my computer but it doesnt respong and also try with another blackberry original battery it showing same . but when i put my battery to another blackberry phone that phone is turning on properly . please help asap.

    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!
