Blackberry curve 8520 trouble turning on

Okay so a few weeks ago my blackberry stopped working. i was on it one day on bbm and it died so when i got home i charged it up then went to turn it on but after 2 seconds of the rebooting screen a battery with a red cross appeared giving me the indication my battery was low i let the rebooting process continue but at about three quaters of the way through it froze, so i pulled the battery out after leaving it too frease for over an hour and carried on doing that. it didnt work a few weeks later i tried it again it worked but then today it ran out of charge and when i tried to turn it on it does the same thing even know ii have 100% charge as my other blackberry (which can only use facebook for some reason) said i had 100% in the status option screen please reply asap as i need my blackberry fixing soon!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
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 a 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.
Good luck and let us know!

    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

    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!

    PLEASE HELP ME
    Thank You

    Hey hakmilton,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    I would suggest contacting your network service provider to look at possible repair and exchange options.  Since you tried a new battery and the LED won't come on, we can not even try reloading the device software.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Blackberry Curve 8520 won't turn on or charge

    My blackberry curve 8520 will not turn on,there was a red light on for a minute! Took out my sim card,memory card & battery and tried to charge it then. It came up for literally one second a drained battery sign. Really don't want to send it away, any help would be great Thanks!

    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.

  • 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.

    It was working fine for hours after it got wet so little bit confused as to whether that caused damage or not.
    Apologies if i have left anything out

    I've often seen it recfommend to place in a bag of rice so that the moisture gets soaked up.

  • 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..!!!

  • Blackberry Curve 8520 how to disable Edge and surf on WIFI only

    Hi,
    Could anybody help me to disable Edge network on vodafone and only phone connects to WIFI when using internet on Blackberry Curve 8520.
    It would be great help!

    Just turn off Mobile network. Uncheck the box. Doing that means you can't make phone calls, though. That's the only way. If they're both on and a wifi connection is present it is supposed to use that first but some say it still uses mobile data sometimes.

  • Blackberry Curve 8520 Won't Lock! Help!

    I recently purchased a new Blackberry Curve 8520, and it was working great, until a couple of days ago, when it starting not working.
    Whenever I'd press the a* button to lock it like you're supposed to, it wouldn't lock.
    I tried shutting it off and then turning it back on again, but it still won't lock.
    It's really annoying, because I can't put it in my pocket without pocket-dialing someone from my contacts.
    Any ideas on how to get it to lock again?

  • 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.

  • Blackberry curve 8520 doesnt stop vibrating!!!

    Hey; I posted about my blackberry curve 8520 not stop vibrating; but its been like if for about 2 weeks; its really starting to annoy me now; ive even tried a new battery; can anyone please help me; i really regret buying this crappy phone!

    (Goes well with a crappy attitude, eh?)
    While you do have a previous thread running on this same issue, I'll offer my advice here anyway...
    It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
    Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out. It really is more common than you think.
    1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
    2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
    4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
    Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
    *Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
    *On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
    *On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day
