HELP! Curve will NOT turn on!!! Shows picture of battery crossed out

Whenever I try to plug in my Curve to charge, it IMMEDIATELY shuts off, red indicator light stays on for a few seconds, then a white screen with a battery with a line through it appears. Re-seeding the battery or plugging/unplugging does nothing. If I do it enough times I can usually get it to randomly do a hard reboot (long time w/ hourglass) and then it will sometimes take a charge. After extended use though, I'm right back where I started. What can I do to fix it???

My BB Curve will not turn on; red light blinking

My bb curve 8330 will not turn on, charge, or do anything other than flash the red light at me. I tried removing the battery and have tried charging it, but nothing seems to help. Any ideas?
Solved!

Nevermind, I resolved the issue by removing my memory card.

Blackberry curve will not turn on

recently my blackberry curve 8530 has shut off and will not turn back on. i had it sitting on the charger because the battery was half way full and an hour later it randomly shut off.
there is no sign of redlight. tried the battery pull multiple times and didnt work. i also plugged it into the computer which doesnt even recognize it. i took it to verizon and they said the battery was fine and that there was moister on the keyboard, so they told me to put it in rice for 2 days which i did and it did not work either. i also left it on the charger for a few days to see if it would help but nothing.
if anyone knows how to fix this i would appreciate it.

most likely your battery died for real and would suggest you to bring it for a check. It's nothing to worry, battery failure happens and you won't lose you datas.

BB Curve Will Not Turn On

Alright, so the other day me and some friends were at a waterfall and they were throwing rocks and one hit my phone, which was face up in my pocket, and cracked the outer plastic screen. Didn't touch the LCD. I took the phone out of my pocket and the screen was black, with the indicator flashing red. I took the battery out and put it back in and now it will not turn on at all, the indicator light doesnt flash red or anything.
Could it be the battery? or when the rock hit, it made a connection short out somehow?
Need help ASAP.

Sounds like something internally may be damaged or disconnected. At this point, doesn't hurt to watch a youtube tutorial and open it up to see what it looks like inside.

IPhone 5 will not turn on. Endless Low battery, Apple Logo, reset loop

Today I dropped my phone, not a big drop, only about 2 feet. I had a lifeproof case on so I thought to myself," No big deal" To my shock and disbelief, my phone would not turn on! I tried to plug it in to a charger to try to start it. It immediately came on with a low battery symbol. I thought that was strange as it had a 70-80% charge on it. But I was hopeful. It then displayed the Apple Logo and I thought I was safe. Then after about 5 sec it went blank. Then the Low Battery symbol came on again. Then the Apple Logo for a few seconds, ... then Off. It does this over and over in an endless loop. I dont know where to go from here. I tried googling the problem but didn't come up with much. I tried holding the home and power button for 20-30 seconds like one video recommends but that did nothing. It only loops if its plugged in to a charger. If its not plugged in it is just off, no activity at all and it will not turn on. Any help will be much appreciated.

Just to follow up if anybody else has this problem.
The drop must have ruined the battery. After taking it to a local repair shop to get serviced, as suggested by Ingo2711, the phone is back to 100% after a new battery was installed. $50.00 bill for a new battery is not to bad at all to fix my phone.

My iPod 5g will not turn on with a full battery

I just got a 5th generation iPod touch and I plugged it in to charge and Now it will not turn on or even light up the screen is there anything I can do like replace it or whatever

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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Samsung Galaxy SIII will not turn on. Vibrates when battery installed.

As stated My galaxy S3 does not turn on. I have removed the battery and discharged the static energy as many posts have stated. I have re installed the battery and attempted to start phone in safe mode. I can not get the phone to do anything.
Phone does not work.
Re installed battery.
Phone will vibrate every few seconds at seemingly regular intervals.
Would like help finding solution or directions to threads with similar problems.
Thanks for your help hopefully i am able to find a fix.

booperman13,
Zoinks! Sorry to hear you are having trouble so far away. It sounds like it was working fine when you first replaced the battery and you had previously done a factory reset. The computer isn't recognizing it and it isn't charging. So, by process of elimination, based on what you have described it sounds like there might be a problem with the USB cable.
Since you replaced that battery have you tried another charger? That might give us greatly clarity as to the nature of the problem. As you are currently out of our reach, if it works fine with another charger and you need to replace it, I would reach out to Samsung for assistance with finding a local provider that has their charger or usb cable in their inventory: http://bit.ly/1v0IVFI .

Blackberry Curve will not display Public Library Pictures

My BB Curve has recently just stopped displaying the pictures in my public picture library. All other folders are good. When I click on the folder all the pictures are dark or simply have the little icon. What is the fix? Thank you.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

New Curve will not turn on-New to Blackberry

I am hoping this is just stupidity on my part. I just received my new phone. The red light comes on, the Blackberry icon appears with the progress bar. The bar progresses about 1/2 way then the light turns off and I get a black screen. This cycle continues - the light turns on, etc. I have tried plugging it in to see if it is just the battery is low but no luck. Has anyone heard of this before?

Hello,
In this case I would recommend using the loader application to try and reload the software on your BlackBerry smartphone. First make sure you download and install the software from your carriers website here: http://bbry.lv/cp57Eb.
Loader.exe is located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Apploader.
Make sure that the BlackBerry smartphone is connected directly to the computer if a laptop and plugged into the back if a desktop.
Once you open the loader.exe application click next. In this screen you will see the connection box. Connect your BlackBerry smartphone at this time to see if it is recognized by the application. If it is not remove the battery and try to connect with out the battery (it should display USB PIN: UNKNOWN) proceed to click next and once the loading process starts replace the battery in the BlackBerry smartphone.
Thank you

HELP Iphone will not turn back on

Ok, I was messing with Facebook this morning and FB would not let me post anything. I would post and then it would go back to the app screen. I did this a total of 3 times and then decided to delete FB and then try and redownload it. Well phone started moving real slow so I shut it off. Held the top button and slid the slider over and it started to turn off. It didnt shut off for a while so I hit the home button and it just turned off. Now when I go to turn it back on the apple comes up for about 10-15 seconds and shuts off. I have tried holding both buttons down with no luck. Have tried everything, held both buttons down for 30 seconds, continuously hit the buttons while the apple is up etc.... Nothing works. I need help, what can I do to get my phone back up. I am lost without it!! I appreciate the help you guys can give me.

Ok, now a new scenario. Someone told me that maybe the battery was dead to plug it and charge it. So at lunch I went to my car and started charging my phone. After charging it for about 15 minutes I held the top button and the home button for about 10 seconds. About 10 seconds in the phone clicks on the usb port cord and Itunes logo. What does this mean? Do I need to plug it into Itunes?

Battery drained while computer in use. Plugged in and computer will not turn on. Does the battery need to reach a certain charge level first? Battery is 3 months old.

The battery drained while using the computor so we pluged it in but computor will still not fully turn on.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Hold the Power button for about 5 seconds to turn off the Mac (it may be turned on), and then, press it again. If it doesn't work, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If nothing works, take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get your computer repaired. Also, if you have its charger connected to the computer, is the charger light turned on?

HT201263 MY IPHONE 5 WILL NOT CHARGE AT ALL AFTER THE BATTERY RAN OUT. ITUNES IS NOT PICKING UP THE IPHONE AND TRIED SEVERAL GENUINE CHARGERS AND STILL IS NOT CHARGING JUST A BLACK SCREEN. THE PHONE HASN`T BEEN DROPPED OR GOT WATER IN IT. IT ONLY 12 MONTH

I have the Iphone 5, it is just over 12 months old, and it was low on charge, by the time I could get to a charger it had cut out. So i plugged it in the charger like no other time, went back after 10mins and noticed the screen was still black. So i tried to turn it on but nothing still black screen, i changed the charger for my other apple charger and the same thing happened. i decided to plug it in using the usb in the computer and still the same thing has happened. Took it to the apple genuis team to be told they can`t do anything, and now its out of its 12 months warranty makes it even more difficult. Has anyone else had this issue, this is my 4th iphone since they released them and am very dissappointed to say the least that the iphone 5 for me seems to have a life span on just over 12 months and no one is prepared to take any responsiblity as i have not damaged it. One extremely dissappointed Iphone user. Any ideas on how to get it working again?
