Blackberry Curve 8900 buttons and keypad not working!

I had it in the bathroom while taking a shower, and I got a few drops of water on it while drying my hair.
Now it turns on, but won't let me unlock it or press any buttons on the keypad.
What do I do?!

Immediately pull the battery and keep it out!
Place your Curve in a container of UNCOOKED rice. Leave the lid off. Leave the Curve alone for five days, yes days.
Avoid temptation to pull it out and insert the battery to see if it functions.
The rice is a dessicant in that it will absorb moisture. You want the battery out so as to avoid shorting out the circutry. That will surely firy things beyond repair.
Alternately or following the five days set it on top of a heat emiting source (low temp dry heat) such as a TV cable box. Or on a interior window sill that gets the sun's rays for a long period (somewhat of a push during the winter)
On the dashboard of your car on sunny days.
The idea is to remove the water. Following the above steps are not guaranteed however they are known to have worked for others.
If you follow the steps and your device still does not work it is time for a visit to your service provider. Hopefully you have insurance as it will cover water damage while it is not covered under warranty.

Hello!
Is your Network showing EDGE or 3G on Top right of your screen?

Hi. The buttons and wheel of my iPod 4th generation do not work. The hold button resets the iPod, and the shuffle shake works. The music plays by shuffling but I can't access albums etc due to the buttons and wheel not working.

Did you restore from backup?
Next would be to restore to factory settings/new iPod since maybe you have some corruption in the backup

BB Curve 8900 died and will not turn on with the red lights on all the time

Hey all
The Blackberry Curve 8900 I have battery completely drained yesterday afternoon and I could not connect it to a charger until I get back home last night. I plugged the phone in around 11:00 , and even now 8 in the morning still wont be able to switch it on and the red light is on all the time.
Its a brand new one, I dont know what should I do to make it working.
Thanks for all your help!!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Typically, these batteries do not like to be fully drained...while rare, it has been known to render the battery useless. But, before you jump to that, there are a few diagnostic steps you can take.
Get a known good and fully charged battery -- put in in your BB. See if it works. See if you can charge.
Get a known good other charger, attach it to your BB, see if it charges.
Try a different power outlet.
Give your battery to someone with the same model BB that they know charges fine. See if they can charge it.
The results of these steps will guide you to the root cause...which could be your battery, your BB, your charger, or the wall outlet you were using.
Good luck!

PLEASE HELP! BB CURVE 8520 EMAIL AND BBM NOT WORKING! :(

Ok, i would really appreciate it if someone could help me with my BB curve. i've tried the shop i bought it from and many other people and all ive been told is to send it away to be fixed. i really need my phone every day and dont want to send it away so im trying for a quick fix kind of thing, thanks to anyone who replies.
My blackberry was bought in October 2010 so its not old, from an o2 shop, it was working completely fine and great up until about 1 month ago.
i was trying to get onto the internet and a message came up saying 'unable to connect to server please contact service provider or try again later' or something similar to that.
from this appeared my phone is no longer receiving or sending any emails from or to anyone at all and my blackberry messenger has also stopped working.
i can open my email and bbm but when i open my bbm i type out my message and hit send and the message sends with a tick to show this but the little D for delivered never appears and my friends are not receiving my messages and im not receiving their messages either.
my phone says its connected to the internet and wifi, at the top of the screen the signal is full and it says EDGE most of the time or sometimes GPRS. i dont know what's wrong but its so annoying
i know this message is long but i want to give all details so someone can help me properly, ive tred resetting pulling the battery out, deleting and resetting up my wifi and all that, can anyone please help me? thanks so much if you can! its much appreciated! i can upload an image of what my screen says if it helps just let me know!

Hi, I'd recommend checking to make sure that you still have a Blackberry Data Plan by contacting your Network Provider (i.e O2)

Curve 8520- email and bbm not working

Hello,
Over a month ago i started having this problem with my blackberry curve. My bbm wont send or receive messages, at all. So I deleted my only contact which was hubby, and tried to add him again, but the request is just pending and he hasnt gotten a message to accept me at all. Soon after my emails stopped working as well as facebook. I could not send nor receive emails. I might also mention that I have a wi-fi conection working, i can use the browser and all, but the wi=fi symbol doesnt light up, it just stays dull.
So i deleted the email account I had on the phone and took it into the vodafone shop I got it in. I received the phone back this week with a latter telling me they could not find these problems and that the phone had been updated and was fixed.
It was not. So i pluged it into my laptop, tried updating and all that, also brought £10 credit incase that was the problem. Still nothing. Emails, BBM and facebook are things I use often on my phone and I would love it if anyone had any suggestions, maybe I have my settings wrong?

Hello Amy and welcome to the Community!
Its pretty hard to understand how you lost the Blackberry Service. Kindly contact your Carrier and check if your BIS is active. You should also check if your data coverage is ON and the wireless service indicator appear as GPRS/EDGE. These indicators appear in uppercase if the BIS is up and goes back to lowercase when you lose the service.

Start Button and notification not working

Good day
I have Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview installed on a HP Pavilion dv6.
I installed “Adobe Dreamweaver CS6” yesterday. I realised that I had the wrong version for the key I have and try to do a Windows System Restore.
The restore complete after the reboot. Now the Start menu does not open when I click on the start button and the “new notification”, next to the time, does also not respond when I click on it.
I did roll forward to the original system restore point with Adobe Dreamweaver CS6installed , but I am still seeing the same issues.
Please advice

Another solution which has worked for some users who have also had issue with the Start Menu and Notifications is to re-register AppX with PowerShell using the following command:
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

T500 mute button and OSD not working

Hi. I'm having a problem after upgrading my t500 to windows 7 ultimate 64bit.
The volume buttons work fine (even without the hotkey software installed), but the mute button and the on screen display doen't work.
While I can live without the OSD, the lack of a mute button is really bothering me.
I have the power manager installed as well as the hotkey software. not sure if this has anything to do with it but UltraNav is also installed.
No idea where to go from here so I'd appreciate any help the community can provide.
Solved!

I was having similar problems with some R500's and so I did some research, and came across the following, as mentioned in:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8-and-8-1/ThinkPad-On-Screen-Display-hotkeys-for-older-systems-T...
“To make OSD work, you might need to install Hotkey driver and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.
To test if this is your issue, run C:\DRIVERS\HOTKEY\OSD\tposdsvc.exe and see if it complains that msvcr100.dll is missing. If it does, install Visual C++ and it should work after that.”
What is not said, but what is critical, is that you have to install the 32 bit version of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package, even on a 64 bit version of Windows 7 Professional.
You then have to reboot the computer after the install for the change to take effect.

Blackberry Curve 8520 keyboard and trackpad stopped working suddenly!

This morning when I was texting on my blackberry I noticed when I was pressing the s button it would press the a button as well. Now for some reason, the a button, which is also the lock button stopped working. I switched my phone off and took out the battery, switched it back on and now it won't light up unless I am pressing all the keys repetitively for about a minute or two. Sometimes when I do get it to light up, it won't let me select anything. Does anyone know how this can be fixed? Its definitely not water damaged and it's out of warranty (I just bought it a week ago from family believe it or not!) Thanks.

Buttons and links not working...

I made my website on my iMac, put in on a FlashDrive, and when I take it up to my Windows computer, the buttons at the top do not appear and some of the links don't work.
Also, I used Photoshop to get rid of the white space around a diamond shaped image. When I view it on my PC, it reappears.

Yeah, it's IE. I'm not at my house right now so I can't check if Java is enabled. I'm pretty sure it is though. I get the yellow bar at the top whenever I open up the page asking if I want to run the ActiveX control. Even with it running it still doesn't work.

IPod Touch 5 home button, power button and charging not working!!

I have an iPod Touch 5 I got last year for Christmas, so it's about an year old. The home button has not been working recently so I tried everything to fix it but nothing worked. We took it to places to get it fixed but it costed a fortune that I would have bought a new iPod Touch instead. I just used the Assistive Touch instead. Then today I was using my iPod Touch and I turned it off. About a minute later I went to get my iPod Touch and used it again and threw it on the bed because that's what I always do and it never breaks. Then a few minutes later, I got my iPod Touch from my bed and I tried to turn it on but it wouldn't budge. Then I remembered it had low battery so it must have shut down because it had no more battery power left. I charged my iPod Touch and tried to turn it on a again but i wouldn't. It would normally turn on and show the Apple Logo and go directly to the lock screen but it just stayed black. I searched up how to fix this but the only way to turn it back on is doing something with the home button but I couldn't since it was broken. I tried to find computer but they were all occupied and the only that wan't occupied was a Chromebook but it my USB couldn't fit in because it was too big. I try to find other ways but there was nothing that could work. I think my iPod Touch isn't charging because whenever I charge my iPod and it has no battery power left, it would usually turn on by itself. I really don't want to go out and fix my iPod at a store because it'll cost a fortune. Please help!! Thank you

Turn on without Home/Power Button
You need a computer with iTunes which rules out a Chromebook

Internet on blackberry curve 8520 web n walk not working!

I just added on unlimited interent to my t-mobile plan and the web'n'walk application is not letting me accessthe internet. It shows up on my plan that the internet has been added on.
I get a message saying : Unable to connect to the internet, please try again later. If the problem persists please contact your service provider.
I've already re-booted it but still get the same message.

Hi
Do what it says. Check with your service provider. Does the unlimited allowance include the BB service? Ask them whilst you check with them. Generic plans don't include BIS.

HT4528 power button and screen not working - is this fixable and where do I go?

Last night my phone was knocked out of my hand and fell hard on the sidewalk. It doesn't look broken, I have it encased in an Otterbox but I can no longer see my screen, where do I get it fixed and is it fixable? Also a couple weeks ago my power button stopped working. Where do I go to get this fixed or do I have to get a new phone? I didn't get the insurance as I never had an issue with my phones before this.

Replaced screen power button and lcd not working

I just replaced the lcd/digitizer on my ipod touch 4. The lcd turns on only if plugged to charge from a dead battery, otherwise, I can't get it to turn on at all. I can't reset it either, as the power button doesn't work. More than 1 problem, I'm sure.Any thoughts? Itunes doesn't see it either. I have made sure the connections are good.

Very likely you damaged something when replacing the screen.
- Try taking it a part and verifying that everything is correct.
- Take it to someone with more experience.
