Blackberry Pearl Battery Cover Clip Broken

My pearl took a little fall and now the silver battery clip has broken (with the spring coming out and such).  Can I buy a replacement clip for the battery cover?  Where would I find this?

eBay has TONS of vendors selling these because Blackberry did a VERY POOR engineering job on these.  
Just search for "Blackberry Pearl Latch". They SHOULD replace them for free.  It's gotten so bad that T-Mobile sales people are dissuading customers from buying Pearls just because they get so many complaints about the broken latches.  So, head their advice unlike me. I bought one on eBay.  When I saw it I could see why they break so often. It is a tiny, cheaply made and fragile part.  I broke the replacement trying to get it installed.  So, if anybody tries to replace one themselves be very careful with the 3 tiny little pins on the latch.    
Blackberry should be paying for these to be repaired.

  • Broken battery cover for Zen Nano P

    Riding in the car, playing w Nano Plus, the thing slipped and swung maybe 3 inches, and cracked off the little appendage of the battery cover that slips inside and keeps the battery cover from sliding off. Can I buy a new one someplace, or am I relegated tothe world of Duct Tape?

    I happen to agree with abh5. The design of this mp3 player is a JOKE!!!
    The battery cover breaks off when you least expect it, and it's so small, you don't feel it, so there's no telling where the cover lands. Going thru Creative is a JOKE! I already got a free battery cover replacement, but within a month, THAT?broke as well! I contacted Creative, and they said it's going to cost this time. Now, I'm expected to pay approximately $20 to get another cover (with shipping)! I told them that this is NOT an uncommon problem, and directed them to several different sites that discuss this problem (with still no solution), and that's where the conversation ended. I REALLY wish I hadn't bought this one. I guess I should have done my research, but I purchased it when it first came out, so it wouldn't have done any good. What a joke! Stay away from this product, unless you want to lose battery covers and batteries over and over. That becomes expensi've, especially if you are taking the economical way and using rechargable batteries! STAY AWAY! AVOID!

  • Internal Battery Clip Broken!!

    In the process of removing the internal battery, the clip that holds it in place snapped off. I'm going to bring it into an Apple Store but I'd like to know if anyone knows anymore information about the subject. Can a new clip be attached or do I have to replace the entire logic board. That would be a very pricey situation and don't want to go there. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks a lot

    Hi Aryehsonnenberg,
    Thank you for the reply!
    We verified the image and I am thinking the same the spring might be loosen, if you are willing to check with reseat the spring, use the HMM manual. If the system is under warranty you can get it checked with service center.

  • Stiff Battery cover for Lumia 520

    Today I configured my first Lumia 520 and it was an 'interesting' experience.
    I have 2 complaints:
    1. Whilst the battery cover adds a nice feel to the phone, it is stiff and very difficult to peel off.
    2. The online instructions provided for peeling off the battery cover frightens me, that I will bend the motherboard, hence break the phone.
    This was an issue associated with wearing mobiles around ones waist causing many repairs.  Motorola models seemed the worst affilicted.
    I'm filled with trepidation.

    The technique described in the online instructions lets the back cover be removed with very little force.  You just have to be sure that you insert your thumbnail between the soft outer cover and the hard inner shell, and not between the hard shell and the screen.
    At first glance it can seem that you are supposed to put your thumbnail into the cutout for the earpiece, but that's not right.  There's a narrow, hard ridge that runs right around the edge of the screen, and you insert your thumbnail outside that ridge to peel away the soft plastic case that clips around it.
    Hope that helps.

  • Blackberry Pearl- Why it's the worst phone ever made

    Here's why I think the Blackberry Pearl is the worst phone ever made.
    1. I can't get photo's off of it. My G1 takes a few seconds. I've worked with this Pear for hours upon hours cannot get my photo's off of it. The Desktop manager really bites too no help there. I really dislike this phone. The software just as bad. I guess they were on the move when Desktop manager was getting written.
    2. The phone on occasions would lock on letters instead of numbers. There wasn't an intuitive way to get it unlocked. I found it more intuitive to get a my return from the IRS than it was to get the phone back to dialing numbers.
    I'm having my kids dress up as a Blackberry Pearl for Halloween. I'm going to make a Halloween Movie Freddy Kruger attacks people with Blackberry Pearl the topper scene features unsuspecting Pearl user getting tied up and has them attempt to copy their photos off to a PC and the video gets put on Youtube for Christmas. 
    Very unsatisfied with your product.
    Don Quixote 

    I want to join the fun here and list all the different reasons why I'm very unsatisfied with this phone.
    The actual phone part of this phone is pretty slow.  It accepts a phone number almost 3 times slower than I can type it in.  Even typing a name on their handy search bar takes forever to get a result.  If I type to fast, it just ignores a couple of my numbers so I have to delete and retype, at the same super slow pace.  I'm guessing that it searches all sorts of contact and history lists to give me cool suggestions, and that's what makes it so slow.  Either way, it irritates me to no end that the basic reason I have this thing is slow as dirt.
    All 3rd Party and Blackberry apps require the Blackberry data service.  Even though there's WIFI on this phone, you simply can't connect to anything except the Browser (and even the Browser requires some setting changes to bypass the upsell screen).  This phone CAN do 3rd party services and other applications without the Blackberry data service, but they just don't allow you to.
    Sometimes my phone just turns off.  I don't normally mind the 3 minute boot up process, but when I'm in the middle of something and my phone turns off for no reason, it just compounds my frustration.
    The keyboard freezes up all the time.  After a good 1-5 minute "please wait clock", I finally get a message saying there was an error and my input application had to be reset.  Sometimes it doesn't quite reset all the way and I have to pull the battery and again wait for the long boot up process.
    Its a little unreliable.  Besides the phone turning off at random and the keyboard freezing, I still have problems other problems.  My bluetooth turns off and sometimes doesn't come back.  Once I had to get a new phone sent to me in order to correct that problem.  Pressing buttons doesn't always get a response, especially the green "call" button.  If the phone is bogged down, it just ignored commands, which is pretty frustrating especially if you press a button and accidently double enter a command that is both the "on" and "off" options.  Also, sometimes the screen fades out (like its suppose to) but doesn't come back when you press keys.  Or the external notifications just don't turn on.  It somestimes just doesn't read my memory card.  The zoom feature on my camera also got stuck.
    Other small gripes involve having no caps lock, the SureType never learning from my typing ("Hey" always goes out as "Get"), its overall slowness, the looseness of the back casing, the low quality camera, and so much more.
    I don't suggest this phone to anyone.

  • Blackberry Pearl keeps turning itself on and off then searching for network...........

    Hi people, not sure if anybody can help however I have a Blackberry Pearl 9105 and for the past 2 weeks its keeps turning itself off and on and also keeps saying 'searching for network' at random times.  I therefore thought it may require a new battery so brought a new battery - was fine for 5 hrs and then started doing it again!
    Any ideas on what it could be please...............it is quite old now and am due an upgrade at the end of August which is so annoying.  Vodafone won't let me upgrade early either.  If no-one knows am going into a vodafone store on Saturday to see of they can test it!
    But I'm so lost without it - I have brought a cheap emergency mobile however I miss my blackberry!!
    Thanking you in advance!

    Hey zmblake,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest to do a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320, please test before restoring any data to the device.
    If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)

    If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
    Thank you

    I just got my Blackberry Pearl 8100 and it has OS v4.2.0.71...I need/would like to have Microsoft To Go, so i can view my work files(excel, word), also would like to view videos(possibly different file formats) that i download, music(mp3's, etc), pics and things like that...where do i start with all of this because i have no idea what to do or how to do it...

    I think that your device has lost its OS.
    But I am confused : are you sure the "Device Manager" does not recognize the 8100 ? Are you not referring to the "Desktop Manager" ?
    Anyway, if the battery pull did not fix the issue, I think you will have to rely on another software than the Desktop Manager to load an OS on your device again.

  • Nokia 770 replacement battery cover

    I realise that the 770 is an internet tablet and not a phone, but I figured I'd get a greater response if I posted in this section of the forum, apologies if I've broken forum rules.
    Anyway, having lost the battery cover for my 770 I'm in desperate need of a replacement! I called the Nokia careline (UK) this afternoon only to be told to contact a third party supplier, who in-turn referred me back to Nokia.
    Can anyone help me at all?

    I have tried Google and drawn a blank, and as for famous "auction" websites there is nothing in the way of replacements or spares on either the UK or US sites, not even faulty units being sold for parts.
    This morning I contacted quite a few NSCs but only one said that they might be able to get the part, but that was only because the company they order from is closed for the weekend, they're going to call me back on Monday but I won't be holding my breath!
    As for high street retailers there is only one that I can think of, but they deal in secondhand handsets as you say and not spare parts

  • Blackberry pearl 9105

    this is the second blackberry pearl (purple) that my mum has had to purchase this year and the same problem has occured yet again...
    first it starts off with the battery not charging then it suddenly stops working altogether it was sent back to o2 to get fixed and they have sent it back stating that its unfixable something to do with the circuit board..
    now when we left it into the store the phone was in good condition which also states on receipt that o2 gave us however when we were contacted by the repair team they stated that it was damaged beyond repair now how can the phone be in good condition on the outside without a scratch on it however the circuit board be damaged beyond repair that means its phyiscally damaged but only the inside...
    now my mother is a pensioner not exactly a teenager and keeps the phone in a case in her bag so how she could have damaged the inside an not the outside ive no idea... when the first one stopped working mum was offered a refurbished one at the cost of £100 and the second one was insured and regardless of the insurance that she has on it they will not give her a new phone or a refund..
    now this doesnt say much for o2 that even though ur insured they will not either fix your phone or replace it but just leave a pensioner with no phone an insurance policy which is worthless according to the repair team.
    i hope someone at blackberry can help as its already cost over £300 for the two phones and the insurance but we are getting no help from o2

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Firstly...a clarification for you. These forums are not any part of your formal support. Except in rare circumstances, these forums are not a communication channel between end users and RIM. Rather, these forums are a community of end users trying to help each other out as best they can.
    All formal support starts with the wireless service providers and authorized resellers. They are in complete control of all support, including warranty. While what you describe sounds to me to be not very nice, it should be governed by the terms of the contract between the end user and O2...I suggest you check into what that is...and then escalate with O2 to higher levels of management who hopefully will see the light and offer better assistance.
    They can indeed escalate into RIM as well, but RIM would normally not intercede in the dealings between O2 and an end user as that is 100% governed by the contract between those two parties...and, contractually, RIM has no part of that dealing.
    There also are often consumer advocate arenas available, generally through governmental institutions. But these are so localized that I've no way to guess what might be available in your case.
    Good luck!

  • Otterbox Defender fits the DX w/ Extended Battery Cover!

    This may not be the biggest or latest news to hit the place, but today, I tried the Otterbox Defender case on my DX today and it fits fine even with the Extended Battery Cover. No swirlies on the screen! And it's not like wrapping the phone in a Sherman tank, like my Otterbox for my (former) iPhone was.
    Of course, I can kiss my car dock goodbye. Oh, well. I'll have to find one of those generic holders that is wide enough to hold the phone in the landscape position. I'll just have to do without the magnets.
    Geri O

    Okay...this brings to mind a question.  I have never used a case on any phone, and despite numerous drops, I've never had a broken phone (knock wood).  The only time I had a problem was when I got mad at my old BB Storm when it kept freezing up, and I kept poking the screen until it cracked.   Last week, I was on the treadmill at the gym, listening to Pandora on my X.   The phone fell, hit the treadmill, and went flyng off behind me.  The battery cover and the battery flew off, but the screen was fine.  I put it back together, continued listening to Pandora and went back to running.  For me, all covers seem bulky.  Am I pushing my luck?  Do all of you use a case?
