Blackberry storm 2 wont turn on

Blackberry storm 2 wont turn on, when I do it flashes on the screen goes a light gray then turns back of then back on again, when its plugged in it goes to a white screen with a battery on it and when I plug it into my computer, my computer doesn't recognize it neither does the blackberry software can somebody help?
Would really appreciate any help as I only brought it of eBay 2 weeks ago

Hi iddon10,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
Since your BlackBerry® Storm2™ 9550 smartphone is not detected by the computer, you may want to try starting a reload of the BlackBerry® Device Software without the battery inserted, reinserting the battery only after the software reload has started. This article will provide further steps. http://bbry.lv/onZ4Wf
This process will remove all personal data from the BlackBerry smartphone, so you will need a previoulsly taken backup file if you wish to restore your data.
Hope this helps.

Blackberry 8520 wont turn on

My batter deid yesterday and i was unable to charge my phone for the whole night. I got a usb port and started to charge it on my laptop this morning. But only the LED red light comes on and it has been charging for over 2 hours now. I keep doing a battery pull but the bb still wont turn on. Please help me?

Hey Stacyb22,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
I'd suggest trying a different battery in the BlackBerry and if it still doesn't respond, contact your network service provider for exchange/repair options.

Blackberry Media Manager NOT working for Blackberry storm (wont install on computer)

Hello 2months ago I got a Blackberry storm. Its a good phone but I have one problem that would make it much better. When I try installing the desktop manager, everything installs besides the Roxio Media manager. It gives me an error and cancels the installation of Roxio and continues with the other stuff. I really want to transfer Photos and Videos from my phone to my computer and vice-versa. Please tell me what I can do to install the Media Manager to get the device working. I am not using the CD's to install, i downloaded it from the blackberry website. The english version WITH media manager, and I even clicked Custom install and made sure it was planning to install it.
My error is this:
Error 1402.Could not find key:
UNKNOWN/ComCtl3.CoolBar/CLSID
Verify you have sufficient access to the key , or contact your support personelle.
What does that mean I have to do?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You don't need Roxio nor Media Manager to transfer files to/from your BB. Follow these instructions and be sure to download the version of Desktop Manager that is without either of those...

With that, you'll be able to have 2 additional drive letters on your Windows PC and you can drag-and-drop just like any other drive on your machine. Slick.
Cheers!

Blackberry Classic wont turn off or on

Have a Classic, the red light is flashing once then 6 times fast then repeats. It wont turn off or on?

Looks like a problem with the battery.
With other models you could remove the battery and place it back again, but here... more difficult to perform!
Maybe you should consider to bring it back for service.

Blackberry Z10 wont turn on

Hi,
I upgraded today and asked my service provider to transfer my data to the new phone, in that time my blackberry went of and now it doesn't want to restart, not even on blackberry link, it doesn't even give me a red light if I try to push the start button, what should I do as all my personal data is still on the blackberry and dont want to lose my info.

Plug it into a wall charger for a couple hours.

Blackberry 9300 wont turn on

Hello everybody,
This afternoon i was using my BB curve 9300 in the sun and it got really hot.(I dont think this is the problem though because of what i'm going to say next)After that it cooled off and i used it for a really long time after that. I realized that my phone battery was very low, so i decided to charge it. Now, i'm not sure if this happened before or after i plugged it in because it was spontaneous;when i was going to plug it in the LED light went red and it died but right before it still had a good 30 minutes left of battery. I left it charging because i had'nt noticed it died and when i came back it didnt turn on. After that i looked up a solution on the internet and the people who seemed to have the same probel said that all they did was that they blew on the 4 golden things on their phone and battery and it worked, I tried it but it didnt work for me. I event tried using a compressed air cleaner and it didnt work. But the people from the internet also said that sometimes their LED would turn red but mine had no sign of life. I tried changing the battery and it didnt work but when i put my battery into a friend's phone it worked for them, so clearly the problem isn't the battery. I am going to send my phone to be fixed sometime soon but for the meantime; if you could please give a suggestion that could help then i will very much appreciate it.
Kindest regards, Pewis

That kind of heat can ruin a Lithium Ion battery (it's also not good for the display.) My guess is the battery is toast. Can you get to a store and try another battery?

Blackberry curve wont turn on or even blink when plugged into a wall charger. what should i do?

so i completly dissasembled my 8310 to see if there was a short somewhere and i didnt find anything obvious. i was playing aroung trying to find the problem when i realized that the red light comes on when i plug in the wall charger and the LCD is not connected. but if i plug in the LCD then try to charge it, the light will not come on. could this possibly be a short within the LCD that is causing the whole phone to fail? what should be my first step?

Bring it to an Authorized Apple Repair Center. They will likely help you replace it.
Here's how to find one:
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider

Z10 Battery died and now it wont turn back on after charging for 3 -5 hours

My phone completely died and i didnt charge it for about a day. I went to charge it the following day and it wont hold a charge. I plug the charger in and the red light on the top right of the phone turns on and then blackberry appears on the screen shortly after and then it just turns off.
I plugged it into my computer and it wont even recognize my device.
I also had it plugged in for a few hours and then pulled the battery out and for a few seconds and reinserted it and nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I notice you have your phone number listed in your profile. It is unwise to post your phone number there for all the Internet world to see and possibly harvest for spam use. At the top of the page click on My Settings and go to personal information and remove your phone number.

Hi my blackberry storm is out of charge and has turned off.
I only have the USB cable to connect it to my laptop. Can I charge it via my laptop by connecting this cable.
I would appreciate your urgent help.

Hi!
If you have already installed the BB USB drivers on your PC, then yes you can charge via USB. If you have not installed them, you can obtain them here:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
For charging only, you don't need the entire desktop software suite...just the USB drivers alone is enough for charging via USB.

My phone was working fine yesterday until the keypad began to get stuck, so I removed the front off of my blackberry and I arranged the keys so they worked again, when I put my battery back in, the re-boot started, but once the blackberry screen loaded up, my phone shuts itself down, I haven't been able to use my phone all day today and yesterday,when I insert the battery the red LED light stays on for about 5-10 seconds and then it disappears, I left my phone on charge for 4 hours and it still wont turn on, but now even the LED light doesn't come on, I just have a black screen with no LED light whatsoever, any suggestions?? I can't live without my phone for any longer! ox

Hi Mmariana20 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Did you get your BlackBerry® smartphone wet while you were at the beach? Was it working before you went to the beach?
I would also suggest plugging your device into the wall charger, removing and re-inserting the battery then holding down the end call button.
Thanks.

PLEASE HELP ME
Thank You
Nathan

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.
