Help! Battery with red slash appears when I plug in charger!

This past weekend I woke up to find my blackberry unresponsive with a battery icon with a slash through it. I fiddled with it and took out hte battery a couple of times and it came on normally. Monday I plugged it in to charge and same thing. Tonight, knowing what evil would probably happen, I plugged in the charger and bam. battery with slash again. This time the battery was just about dead before putting on the charger but the other times it was about mid charge. Is it dead for good this time and should I just go suck it up and buy a cheap replacement? hah Phone will be a year old next month.

This is happening because of your bettrey. I would recommand you to buy an original RIM accessories. But before doing so what you can do is get a similer battery from your friends or peer to check your device condition.

  • 8703e shows Battery with Red Slash, does nothing else

    I've had a 8703e on Verizon service for about 20 months. Currently, upon inserting battery status light shows red for only a few seconds and then the device only shows white screen with a battery icon with a Red Slash through it. No response to pressing any buttons (other than CAP-ALT-DEL), including On/Off. (Note: I can attempt to post image of screen if required.)
    Earlier in the day, I used the phone for about a 30 minute conversation, then enabled my Bluetooth hands-free device for drive home. About an hour later I turned off my hands-free device and left the phone in my jacket pocket while at the gym. After another hour when I checked for my messages, I only had the screen described above.
    I've tried: 30sec battery removal w/ no USB, 60 minute battery removal w/ no USB, also tried CAP-ALT-DEL to reset. None of these have resolved this situation.
    I usually charge device nightly and do not have linked to an e-mail service. I basically use device for phone, address book and note-taking. I do leave Bluetooth-detect enabled to connect to my hands-free device.
    Request assistance in resolving this issue. Would like to know if device can be recovered/is still usable and/or if all files/address book data will be lost with any suggested solution (fear it's gone already).
    Thanks in advance. I appreciate you assistance.

    Those can be the features of faulty battery. See if you can get Recovery Mode, don't Restore just enter Recovery Mode. Connect iPhone to computer or Charger. Hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds, see if it enters Recovery Mode. When you unplug Recovery Mode will go away. If it enters Recovery Mode fine, then most likely faulty battery. If you like you can always enter Recovery Mode and try to Restore.

    I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices.  However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.

  • My battery drained. Screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min.  Should I wait or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc.

    My battery drained. Pluged in to wall but screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min.  Should I wait longer or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc.  Will a hard restart wipe all that out?

    Agree with Richard:
    -Your device needs both the CR and LF. To accomplish this:
    option 1: Concatenate the "end of line" string constant (this is a combination of CR and LF, located in the string pallete) to all your outgoing commands. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is false.
    option 2: Concatenate only a CR to your command's strings. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is TRUE AND that the termination character is set to 10 (meaning LF) which I think is the default.
    Details can be seen in this link:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/862567530005F09C862565BE005AB500
    "Adding Termination Characters to VISA Serial Writes in LabVIEW"
    Interesting would be to configure the serial port to accept not one but two termination characters. The above links refers to the document "Developer Zone Tutorial: Termination Characters in NI-VISA.", where this is supposed to be possible. The document however is 404'ed.
    If someone find a working link please post it.

    hi there, I need help .. I have 2 gen ipod touch and I restore my ipod around 11:00 pm and now its 1:20 am and on my screen its the iTunes logo and the usb cord and when I plug my charger in my laptop .. iTunes comes up and this what it saids "iTunes has detected an ipod recovery mode. you must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes" so what do I do.. do I let my ipod died right out & then try it .. because I restore it ,... it was beening to slow... so please help me  ?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.

  • My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. Any tips?

    My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. I tried restarting it a few times, nothing worked. I looked up many tutorials, and still nothing did the trick. Any tips?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon.  Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

    I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?

    More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed
