Blackberry 8700 wont switch on. Battery symbol only...

Hi
I just got a loan blackberry while I wait for Bolds to come into stock again, and Ive plugged the phone into its wall charger. However the thing wont switch on and instead just shows a picture of a battery with a lightening bolt.
Is it broken or do I just need to wait longer for the battery to charge up some more?

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!

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.

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.

Phone wont switch on ..

i have a storm 9500 .. the problem is that it wont turn on.. i get the red light at the top .. then i get a egg-timer going round .. then it goes back to the red light .... and it keeps repeating this ...
i leave it on charge so its getting power to charge ???

Hi dale31lucas,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
Do you see any difference when reinserting the battery?
Is your BlackBerry® Desktop Software able to connect with the BlackBerry® Storm™ 9500 smartphone? If so, try to back up your data using the BlackBerry Desktop Software and perform a clean reload of your BlackBerry® Device Software. For further instructions, see: http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT
If it is not able to connect, you may need to start a BlackBerry Device Software reload without the battery inserted then reinsert the battery after the reload has started. This KB article will provide further steps. http://bbry.lv/onZ4Wf
This process will remove all data so you will need a previously taken backup file to restore your data from.
Hope this helps.

Is Verizon going to get the Blackberry Storm 3 (9570)?

I am currently an Alltel customer that was bought out by at&t. We are set to change over in December or January. I may or may not stay with at&t as I have heard bad things about their service. I am interested in a complete touch screen Blackberry and am wondering if Verizon is set to get the Blackberry Storm 3? I heard they were and then heard it was cancelled?! Anyone know? Thanks!

Verizon Wireless will have a lineup of new devices for release for our customers. For more information you can go to the Contact Us and sign up for Email Notifications. This will provide you with new on new release for products through Verizon Wireless. Here is the link to sign up for email.

How to transfer photo's from blackberry storm to laptop

I was on the phone today with my mobile provider for 1 hour only to get the wrong information.
Then I was on with a blackberry representative for 1 1/2 hours. After which my media card would not work anymore.
I lost all my pictures and cannot format my media card. I removed it once during the time with blackberry rep and after that the pictures were all gone. I said Ok. Let's keep going we tried to format the card and it failed. I am waiting now for a new card. Hopefully there is a problem with the card. I can't imagine what happened when I took it out for a second that made it stop working.
My question is I did find on the site how to use the blackberry as a USB connection. It says I have to install the drivers separately for my computer to recognize it. The only problem is the instructions are old and not for my model phone.
All day today they are telling me then when I connect my blackberry storm 9630 it should appear in MY COMPUTER. I should then be able to drag the pictures from the phone to my pictures on my computer.
The memory on my phone is set for prompt in mass media storage.
The storm never shows up on My Computer. We did check and it shows up under hardware for USB connections it also works perfect with desktop manager.
The pictures take so long using that software I want to find an easier way to do it.
I still want to use the desktop manager for transfering my outlook stuff.
If anyone has any suggestions about the media card stuff please let me know as well.
Solved!

Hi susieq, I've had similar problems in the past (and still do - I just can't view the files on my media card when it's plugged into the Storm for some reason). What I've done is that I've found a microSD card reader and when I want to transfer my files to/from my computer, I just remove the card from my Storm, then plug it into my microSD card reader, and plug that into my computer and transfer the files using Windows Explorer (just like a would any other flash drive or external hard drive).
While not the ideal solution (as you have to find the card reader), this is actually the easiest way to transfer files to and from your computer and microSD card.
And given that you've already tried a whole bunch of things with both a BlackBerry Tech and your carrier's support line, this would be my suggestion.

Brand new 5s turned itself off, now wont switch back on?

Using my phone was at about 20% battery, put it in my pocket and went to use 5 mins later and screen is black and wont switch back on. Has been sitting on charge for about 25 minutes and still nothing even when pressing or holding the home button or top switch. It was fresh out the box yesterday so less than 24hrs old! Any ideas?

Keep in mind, the iPhone is really a mini-computer, & like all computers, sometimes(although rare with an iPhone) needs to be re-booted.
For all pratical purposes, that's what a reset is.

Compaq 615: Wont switch to headphones !!

Hello.
I bought this laptop for like 3 weeks ago. It all worked fine, and suddenly it wouldnt auto switch when i plugged in my headphones.
My headphones are working all fine on other PCs, but i wont switch when i plug in!
Any fixes on this?

I have the same problem when installing DJ softwares like Virtual DJ or Traktor, the software takes sole control of the (3.5 mm line-out) headphones playback, the other software plays on integrated speakers. I want to force all sound through my headphones.

Hi; If it is your carrier that is trying to be activated then you will need to take it to them (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc...) and have them fix it for you.

My ipod wont switch on

my ipod 4 wont switch on

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
