Blackberry Curve Flickering Screen

Hi
My curve has developed a screen flicker, not a screen refresh type flicker but one that is like, screen on, screen off for 1 sec, screen back on, screen off for half second, screen on etc etc.
Really annoying and have now switched to other phone until i can get this one fixed. I guess its a hardware issue but has anyone else any knowledge of what this is and how to fix.
I read somewhere that it may be a display ribbon that needs replacing but am really clueless on this one.

Hi Leevis
Welcome to the Community
It may be a hardware issue but have you tried Updating or fresh reloading of your Device software.If not I would suggest that. If that fails I would even reset it to factory setting to rule out any Conflicts with third party Application.

    hello my blackberry curve 8520 screen has gone white and funny  circle icon has come up with reload softwear 552 at bottum of screen what do i do as it wont do anything ive tried battry pull and turned back on and it still brings that up
    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 - white screen

    Hi
    I have a Blackberry curve, if not mistake the 9800.
    i was charging it and all of a sudden the i see that the screen had gone white.
    I removed the battery put it back the screen still remains white.
    since it has a password i cannot unlock it.
    whats the best option to get it back as normal.
    It has been used very safely , no problems except for battery draining out fast. Other  than that it looks like a new piece, coz i take good care.
    Guide me how i could get it back working
    Thanks

    Hello jpkurian
    White Screen may appear because of a hardware issue or a poor Battery , As you already mentioned that your Battery drains out  very fast which is a symptom of a poor battery . Can you arrange a Good fully charged BB battery to test it on your device , it will reveal if the problem is within your device or the battery itself. 
    9800 is a Torch model !

  • Blackberry curve 9220 screen light blinks

    i was just typing a msg and suddenly screen turns out to white,then after few seconds it started blinking. I dont know what hapens. Sometimes it works fine. but sometimes not.
    i had tried
    1. Wiping data
    2. battery pull

    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!

  • Blackberry curve 8520 screen problems???

    hi, i have a 5 month old blackberry that has not had any water damage (i checked the white stickers)
    a month ago small green and black vertical lines started to appear on my screen, but since then they have gotten worse, its almost like a color 'veil' in that section of the screen as things still show up behind it, it is now doing the same thing in a diferent place and im worried that eventually i wont be able to see whats on my screen
    is the screen under guarantee??
    will this problem still fall under guarantee??
    thanks

    I'd check with the carrier about this.  I don't think a battery pull will help, but you can try.
    Also you can check with RIM as another option:

    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.

  • My Blackberry Curve 9380's screen won't turn on!

    My Blackberry Curve 9380's display screen won't turn on!  The flashing red light still appears so I guess I am still able to receive texts.  I can also receive calls; my ring tone goes off but I cannot answer!  I have to unlock it and I can't do anything on a touch screen that's virtually useless now.  I've done so many battery pulls yet it doesn't work.
    I did drop it but it wasn't very hard.  My bb fell when it was in my rubber case and the fall was around knee length (I am very short only 5'0).  My friend said its possible that the backlight broke.  If it is true, how much does it cost to repair it?  My warranty expired a few weeks ago...
    My friend also said there could be something else wrong with it.  Like a downloaded an app that had a corrupt file (this has happened to me before and the phrase "Uncaught exception java.lang.error" kept popping up every time I did a battery pull) or a programming error. I tried Jl_Cmder and I've done reset to factory.  I've even tried to wipe everything completely.  "The device will reboot to a white screen with a '507' error" this didn't happen... It did reboot but nothing can be seen.  I regret it deeply ...
    I'm sorry this is so long but please can someone help me? ): 

    Ouch, that doesn't sound good. Even though it's out of warranty, you should check first with your mobile provider for a repair estimate. 
    Sorry!

  • Blackberry Curve 8530 Stuck on White Screen

    Hello there,
    I need help!
    My Blackberry Curve 8530 is stuck on a white screen with battery image in the middle of the screen with a red line accross it. The BB was  working fine, but for some reason froze up, and it wouldn't respond to anything, so I took the battery out and put it back in and since then the phone is stuck on the white screen with the ddescription described above.
    Just to let you know I have dwonloaded the sofware and installation loader from my carrier. I connected my BB to my PC via USB cable- the PC rocognized the device at first and istalled the drivers, but when I run the application loader it says that the BB is not connected and I have the option to connected and retry it---I did, I disconnected the USB and re-connected, tried it again, but I keep geeting the same thing. Not sure what to do next-
    Can someone help me with this issue?
    I appreciate any help in advance.
    Thanks!

  • 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.
