Curve 8520 will load to homepage but cannot access menu/apps/dialing anything :(

Hey folks,
My Curve 8520 decided to die today
When i try and use it, I view the home page but I cannot access the menu when pressing the BB button, none of the apps work on the task bar, I cant dial numbers and none of the side buttons work. All i can do is move the tracker pad around. When the screen fades out to black, i cant get anything back it stays like that. The red led was flashing as well, but ive had a few messages come through as well now - but it was flashing before.
Ive tried a hard reboot (taking the battery out) a few times, ive even left the battery out for like 5 mins.
Ive tried connecting to bb desktop manager - but when the device is connected and the prompt for mass storage mode comes up it wont let me select yes or no - so desktop manager is never able to recognise it.
please help - the insurance people are rubbish n it could take like 5-6 weeks to get it sorted 
regards
tris

update . I solved it with a reboot (removed battery with phone switched on)....      the missus happy again...

  • I already have adobe on my computer, but cannot access frontierville app on face book... it says i need to add adobe. won't re-load.

    i changed my browser from internet explorer to firefox because of frequent pop ups about errors. i cannot access "frontierville" a game application on face book, it requires adobe flash player. i already have the most current version of adobe on my computer and it pops up to tell me that when i try to re down load it thru this browser. have friends who use this browser to play that game. ... down loaded firefox per their recommendation.

    What you need is the Adobe Flash Player plugin. This article has instructions on how to install it: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing%20the%20Flash%20plugin Installing the Flash plugin].

    I brought my ipad2 from Canada to Thailand and put a sim card in to access wifi and 3g, but I cannot get on the internet,is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Two things:
    1. Make sure the SIM card is enabled for data.
    2. Make sure you are using the correct APN settings, in Settings - Cellular Data.

    At what point does it stop you from reading your messages? Will the application launch but you are not able to pull up any conversations?
    I am not one of those trained people, I'm a user like everybody else but I've gained a lot of technical knowledge through use and research. Sorry to disappoint.

  • I tried to update my iphone 4 to i07 but it's now just stuck at half way on the loading screen and I cannot get it to do anything

    So like a moron, I made the mistake of finally updating my Iphone 4's OS to the new one that Apple has been bugging the crap out of me about for months now. The problem is, my phone is now stuck on the loading screen and I cannot get it to do *ANYTHING*. It won't connect to my PC, Itunes won't let me get on it without the pin lock being entered on the phone which I CANNOT do because the phone is stuck on the update screen.. and Apple won't talk to me for help because I cannot get them the serial number which I CANNOT do because my phone is stuck on the update screen!
    Is there no way to just take the battery out or something? I looked for screws but they seem to be proprietary (because of course they are, because Apple) How do I force it to get off the update screen?!

    If you open it to take out the battery from the iPhone then you forfeit all service for whatever reason from Apple in the future.
    Have you attempt to connect it to your computer and then restore it from iTunes on your computer?

  • My BB Curve 8520 will power down when it has 3 out of 5 "bars" of battery power left.

    My BB Curve 8520 will power down when it has 3 out of 5 "bars" of battery power left.  I have replaced the battery twice.  It is out of warranty.  The software update did not help the problem.   Do I just need a new phone?

    Hello debra85,
    I can imagine the frustration the battery life is causing!  To confirm are you using the Blackberry Curve 8530? Have you attempted restoring the operating system through the Blackberry Desktop Manager?  This will help clear corruptions that may be present on the phone.  We can also discuss what options you have to get a new phone, if needed.  I look forward to hearing from you and finding a solution to your concerns.
    Thank You,

  • Connected to home network, but cannot access internet on ipad

    I have got strong signal on home network but cannot access the internet. Tried resets, etc

    It could be a simple problem that needs a reset for the related devices. Other than that, try to control the security settings and passwords of your home network. You might be using WEP password protocol to connect your home network. Try to use WPA protocol instead of WEP. Maybe it will help to solve your problem.

  • Created new workspace, user created OTN account but cannot access workspace

    hi,
    i recently created GFW_SYSTEMS_TEAM beehiveonline workspace.
    i added 4 external users including myself as an external user using my gmail account: [email protected] so i could verify the process from an external user point of view
    i created my OTN account and verified it but cannot access the workspace using this login.
    when i check the users in beehiveonline-apex i see that all users are verified.
    when i check the users in the workspace, 2x external users are missing but my gmail user is there
    when i check the ~BOLADMIN tool i see that my gmail user is missing - only my oracle account is visible; the other 2x external users are also missing...
    my oracle and gmail email addresses are similar : neil.pritchard@~ oracle.com, gmail.com
    i am accessing from my secondary oracle laptop (OBI); not on vpn
    can you tell me if there are any known conflicts with the above setup?
    more info:
    OS: XP SP2; browser IE8
    when accessing teamcollab or workspaces i get 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage' during login authentication
    best regards

    Neil,
    we spotted some provisioning scripts that had failed and are re-running them now - hoefully the extra users will be in the group/workspace soon. The 2 emails for you will not be a clash as they are valid and unique.

  • HT1218 After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer.  We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

    After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer.  We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

    Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
    Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
    As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
    Is there a way to resolve this issue?

  • I have lost my Safari app and all the bookmarks that go with it. I have tried to download my back-up on external drive but cannot access it. Tried a start with C key held down but still no access to the back-up app.

    I have lost my Safari app and all the bookmarks that go with it. I have tried to download my back-up on external drive but cannot access it. Tried a start with C key held down but still no access to the back up app.
    Have used Superduper app. to back up and checked back-up occasionally to see if all files present  and appeared OK.
    I had previously started machine using original CD #1 to try and replace Eudora which was acting up. Did not knowingly touch Safari.
    Running iMAC System 10.4.11
    How can I successfully download from the Maxtor back-up?
    Ivan

    Further info.
    I checked the content of my other back-up and found the bookmark Bookmarks.plist in the library under Safari
    Dumped the existing copy in the computer and drag-dropped the back up. All bookmarks restored.
    Solved the Stickies problem by using Spotlight  to find file "stickiesdatabase" and did a drag- drop to replace file. All data restored.
    Re Ical data loss. Used Spotlight to find iCal document in  Library - Preferences where I found com.apple.iCal.plist in folder.
    Got ready to make change but did not immediately remove file. When I returned to Preferences folder to grab above document,
    the readable descriptors had been changed to code consisting of some upper case letters and/or single symbols!
    So now I cannot tell which is the symbol  iCal.plist
    Thanks for leading me so far, but how do I find that plist for my calendar?
