Blinking black plug icon ??

Put my bb curve 9360 on to charge overnight as per normal , woke up to find the bb not charged and displayed an icon i have never seen before nor can find any information about on any website , a blinking black plug inside the battery symbol. My bb does charge through the usb cable on a computer , also while plugged into the mains when this symbol is up you cannot lock the phone it lights straight back up , if you restart the bb with it still attached to the mains it just keeps restarting the white bar never gets further than about 20% of the way across... any idea what this symbol is/means ??

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
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 a 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.
Good luck and let us know!

  • BB Curve tried 2 new batteries won't charge - battery icon flashes yellow for few seconds then shows a black plug

    BB Curve 9360. Please help.
    My 6 month old battery stopped taking a charge.  Had left to charge overnight from the mains and phone was dead in morning.  Wouldn't turn on or take a charge.
    Had a spare battery from before and tried this.  Charged to 25% and then showed battery icon with black plug and wouldn't take any more.  If unplug and re-plug, shows yellow flash as if charging for a few seconds and then shows black plug.  25% charge runs down very quickly.
    Bought a new battery.  Exactly same experience. Sometimes gets between 5 - 25% charge but mostly is completely dead and not enough power to get beyond red flashing indicator.
    Tried on and off.  Tried taking out battery (many times!).  Tried taking battery out while charging, waiting 30 seconds and then replacing battery (many times).  Tried 3 other chargers, both from mains and from USB.
    Have left it plugged in for hours even when showing black plug or just empty red battery - nothing.  Just dies completely and hard to get enough power to get started again.
    Left it unplugged and without battery for 2 days.  Plugged into mains, got yellow flash and then black plug.  Every time got black plug would unplug and re-plug to get yellow flashing back.  Got it to 80% that time.  But now gone back to only reaches 5% or won't take a charge and just red batterys sometimes with black plug or just empty, red flashing indicator.
    Plugged into BB desktop manager to back up and checked for software updates.  No updates available.
    Only thing I can think is mini USB slot on BB is broken and need a new phone.  Any ideas of anything else to try before bite the bullet???  Thank you!!

  • Dear all,suddenly my readerstarted to blink black and white pages for 2 hours. Hints to stop it?

    I was reading the book. Suddenly the screen went black. After I tried all the buttons it started to blink black and white screed and it is doing it already for a couple of hours.
    No reaction from any button.
    Any hints how to stop it? Is it out of order forever?
    Type Sony eReader PRS-T1.
    Thank you in advance for any support.
    N.

    Don’t forget to recharge ebook reader device after.
    The issue is due to:
    -low battery
    -and/or a problem with the ebook’s file (not perfectly compatible)
    -and/or many “orders” (tap on screen, press buttons and probably low battery) while reader prepares a new page.
    Nothing serious!!! 

  • 15" MacbWhite screen with a blinking file folder icon with a question mark on it.

    15" Macbook. When i power on all I get is white screen with a blinking file folder icon with a question mark on it.N

    You may have a bad hard drive.  The flashing folder with the ? indicates that the system cannot find your hard drive.  Use the installation disc that came with your machine.  Insert it into the disc drive and restart the machine holding down the "C" key .  When the restart shows the Apple screen you can release the C keyWhen the installation screen appears, click on the utilities button.  Does the left side of the disc utilities screen show your HD?  If not, then your HD is bad or it could be a loose connection. ifixit.com has a good tutorial on how to replace the HF in the Macbook.  Follow the instructions to remove your HD.  Reinstall your HD and boot up your machine to see if it recognizes your HD.  If it does't, you probably will need to replace your HD>
    Is your machine still under warranty?  If so, take it to your nearest Apple Store for repairs as the repairs will be covered under your warranty.  If you bought AppleCare when you bought your computer your warranty is for three years.  If you didn't buy the Apple Care, then your warranty is only good for one year from the date of purchase.

    My MacBook Air has a blinking file folder icon on a blank screen with a ? In the middle of the icon. I've tried turning my computer off and on three times with no luck.  Any recommendations on how to fix the problem? 

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Flashing/blinking black once awhile on certain website.

    Firefox is flashing/blinking black once awhile on my desktop PC. It only happen on certain websites (such as facebook or my personalized iGoogle). It doesn't happen with Chrome nor IE. Weirdly, it doesn't have the same problem on my laptop...
    To me, it sounds like certain components are triggering this, but I have no idea what it is... Anyone have similar experience/solution?? Thanks.

    Comparing the two systems again, I think I figured out what caused it: '''Kaspersky URL Advisor'''. If I disabled it, the blinking stops. If anyone has a solution other than that, please reply. Thanks.

  • Blinking grey folder icon with question mark on boot

    Hi. Just got my system from the Apple Service center where they have reinstalled a new hard disk for me.
    When I come home, and start the machine, it shows me a blinking grey folder icon with a question mark in it.
    Only thing I can do in this screen is switch off the power. But when I reboot, it shows me the same icon again.
    With google, I discovered that if while rebooting I press the OPTION key, then it boots me into the firmware password mode. How can I automate this? I do not want to have to always boot the laptop with Option key pressed.
    Thanks for any pointers.

    That question mark means that your machine can't find a drive with a system installed to boot from. Sounds as if the techs didn't install a system when they replaced the drive... do you still have the installation disc(s) that your MBP might have come with?

  • My ipad 2 just shows itunes and plug icon my computer wont take new version of itunes too old how do i get my ipad 2 working do not care about saving data just want to use this very expensive useless item!

    My ipad 2 just shows itunes and plug icon my computer wont take new version of itunes too old how do i get my ipad 2 working do not care about saving data just want to use this very expensive useless item!

    My iPad2 works great now after IOS 8.1 Update
    I did my iPad2 update thru iTunes on my iMac and it was sucking the iMacs memory very low during the update. Safari froze before loading the first web page and I did a hard boot and went fishing as I saw where it was going to take a long time to recover. When I tried again it wasn't quite right and then did one more hard boot and then did a Reset by going to General-Reset-"Reset all Settings" and it works real well now without loosing any data and in-home wi-fi clocks at 17Mbps download. Probably like most of you I’m sticking with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks as it gets the job done very nicely and don’t need all that extra fancy stuff that probably will slow things down.

  • Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.

    Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.
    This happens even if I simply hover the mouse over bookmarks, not even opening a page.
    And waiting for this to happen some times or closing and re-opening seems to make it work ok again.
    I've already disabled almost all add-ons (I'm using only one for Flash and NoScript right now), reinstalled Firefox (8.0.1), restoring only the bookmarks from an older version.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Netflix mode momentarily blinks (black) randomly on 58L9300U

    My 4 month old 58L9300U was working fine until a few days ago. Now, whenever I enter the Netflix mode, the display screen momentarily blinks black randomly. The blinking will happen once or twice every second, then not for several seconds. Each blink is very short in duration...maybe 1/30th of a second...but very irritating, making the TV unwatchable.
    The blinking begins immediately upon pressing the NETFLIX button...even as the mode starts up, and continues until I exit Netflix. That is, I do not need to be watching a movie. The blinking occurs while selecting a movie to watch and even when I PAUSE the movie.
    This problem does not occur during over the air broadcasts. As mentioned, the problem started happening in the Netflix mode after 3 months of no problems.
    I have disconnected and reconnected to Netflix using their recommended procedure with no improvement.
    Disconnect and Reconnect the Netflix application
    Launch the Netflix app.
    Using the arrows on your remote, enter the following sequence:Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up
    Select Deactivate and exit the screen.
    Restart the Netflix app and sign in to your account.
    Any thoughts as to what is going on? Could it be that my ISP (Comcast) is causing the problem?

    I kind of doubt it could be related to the ISP, but I'm honestly not sure what's causing it. You might want to call customer support.

  • Meaning of the wall-plug icon while in charger

    Hello !
    When I charge my iPhone it first has the lightning bolt while charging, then switches to the wall plug icon when its charged. When I leave it this way, the battery depletes slowly just as my macbook does until it reaches about 93% then the lightning bolt is displayed again indicating its again charging to 100%.
    Ok so here is my question: When its finished charging and the wallplug icon is shown, does the iPhone still get some "small" charging current to slow down battery depletion or nothing at all? Or in other words: Does it make a difference when I take the phone off the charger as soon as the wall plug is shown compared to leaving it in the dock?
    Kind regards,
    Sascha

    OK, please let me rephrase what you said (this helps me to check if I understood ):
    The lightning bolt changes to the wall plug when charging of the battery is complete. At this time, the battery is internally disconnected from the phone and the charger.
    From this point on the operation of the phone is entirely maintained by the charger as the battery is not "connected".
    Even while the battery is not connected it will slowly deplete due to internal leakages and other chemical processes.
    As soon as these internal leakages drop the battery level under a certain percentage, the phone connects the charger again to the battery and charges it back to 100%, then disconnects the charger again.
    When the charger is disconnected from the phone, the phone connects itself again to the battery to power the phones normal operation by the battery.
    Right?
    Correct me if I am wrong, but this means, that it is totally harmless for the battery if the phone is left in the charger, as the battery is only charged when the internal processes dropped the charge level under about 95% which does not occur often, and in the meantime the phone is powered by the charger.
    By the way, when left in the charger my 4S needs about 2 days to drop low enough to be recharged, thats about 93%.

  • Blinking images of icons on connected computers

    Blinking images of icons on connected computers
    I'm having a very strange experience with my MacPro when connected to our other two computers via Ethernet. Whether I am connected to the central backup Ethernet drive or one of the other computers (a Mac G5 DP 2 Ghz and a Mac G4 DP 1 Ghz) the desktop "blinks" as though it is continually refreshing the icons of the files and folders. The Preview image and the file's size, likewise keeps blinking, about once every 5-6 seconds. I have occasional sieze-ups with the Network printer and crashes while transferring files to another of the computers.
    The problem is new and the Ethernet Network is not, I thought I had a faulty cable but after changing the cable from the MacPro to the Switcher or Router (a 5 port SmartSwitch by NettCom) with a new one I find the problem still exists. BUT it is only one way! If I connect to the MacPro from the G4, for example, the blinking does not exist.
    What could it be?

    Hi, it's me adding to my own question - I tried starting from my other drive, my backup drive, and the blinking happens then too (not surprising really since it is a CCCloner copy of the original) but then I started as ROOT, and the blinking doesn't happen at all. I then started (rebooted) to my e-drive (TTPro) and logged onto Network via Finder and the blinking doesn't happen there either, so, I'm beginning to think that I have some sort of conflict of applications that are causing it. I do have a number of what I think are called "hacksies", like Tinkertool and Onyx and TTC that not only work as Utilities but also allow you to "customise" the computer's behaviour and appearance, like whether the scroll arrows are together, or whether the Blob is visible. Maybe I have these in conflict?
    Should I just un-install all these until I have a close to basic system? Or would I be better off trying OSX 10.4.11 and see if something changes that way?
