HELP Needed ASAP! Curve Not Turning On, Red Flashing Lights!

Hi,
I have a Blackberry curve 8310. I plugged my curve into my mac to do a software update. Midway through, my phone shut off and hasn't worked since. The battery is fully charged. The phone is off and won't turn on. Additionally, there is a red LED light blinking twice every few seconds. I think I found an article on blackberry.com's knowledge database that diagnosed my issue, but my problem now is that because the curve isn't turning on/off, it's not connecting to my mac's desktop manager. So I can't do anything the article tells me to do. What should I do now? I need help ASAP!
Here's the link to the article: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB19915
Thanks in advanced!

Hello Asmro and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
It can take up to 30 minutes for the Mac to connect to the BlackBerry.
I would remove your battery and connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Manager. Once it comes up there is no software installed, re-insert the battery and follow the article KB19915.
Let me know how you make out.

  • Not Booting, quick red flashing light PLEASE HELP.

    Okay so today i swapped from a 7130e to a 8330 (verizon)
    i was able to remove the old security Policy using Jl_Cmder (which worked great) and i got rid of the firewall issue as well.
    phone was working great until i tried to use the device switch wizard, half way therough the process of upgrading the 8330 the os upgrade failed. I was trying to upgrade to the latest verizon release 8330AMEA_PBr4_1.5.0_rel101_PL3.2.0.51_A4.5.0.77.exe.
    Now my device seems to be hosed.  All it does is flash the red light two times every 2 seconds.
    When i connect the device to my PC device manager sees the smartphone connect on the USB hub, but the device manager never seems to find the device.
    I have done a hard reset, ---no change.
    tried to reset to defaults using JL_cmder --- no change but got the following error.

  • Help needed asap! Will my IPAD 3G wifi work in another country with the sim of a 3G services provider?

    Help needed asap! I want to buy an IPAD 3G + Wifi before I return to my country from the US. The problem is that I have GSM service providers in my country that provide 3G services but I am wondering if their SIM card would work in the IPAD? In other words, can I get an unlocked IPAD 3G wifi? Thanks for helping out

    The AT&T 3G iPads (which are GSM/sim based) in the US are not locked (the Verizon models are CDMA based so they effectively are). So as long as you can get a sim in your own country you shouldn't have a problem

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    Don't say things like "urgent" or "asap" (as in your title, "error messages help need asap!!!!"). It's rude.

    Also, you store a number in my_val, but never use that number, and you have a variable called tasktotal that's never defined. Should my_val and tasktotal be the same variable?
    Perhaps this is what you want:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION

        AND     e.employee_no = a.employee_no
        AND     t.task_id        = a.task_id;          -- ; at end is important
        RETURN tasktotal;

  • My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in.

    My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in.  I just bought it a few days ago. It has been working fine. I left the house for most the day and when returning home it would turn back on. I have tried to plug it into other outlets...nothing, I've tried the reset button...Nothing.

    That is reported here a few times.. just take it straight back to apple or place of purchase for immediate exchange.

  • Black screen red flashing light

    Plz help.
    Today my touch screen on my bb torch 9800 wouldnt work, I did a battery pull and now my phone wont switch back on. the screen is black and there is a red flashing light.
    I have had my bb neary 18 months and never had a prob before.
    Can you advise what i should do next,

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Put your BB onto a known-good wall charger for 2 hours, and do not touch it. Then, with it still on that charger, remove the battery, leaving it out for 5 minutes (with the BB still on that charger!). Put the battery back in. If it boots up, leave it alone (still on the charger) for 5 hours to see if it will fully charge and function again.
    Good luck!

  • MiFi2200 has a red flashing light

    MiFi2200 has a red flashing light and will not get a signal. When it's plugged into the wall, the button light flashes red. When I plug the device into the computer, Verizon manager doesn't detect the device.

    You may have discovered by now:
    "Red Blinking The battery is critically low."
    Leave it plugged in for a while.
    The LED can be Green, Green/Yellow which the book calls Amber, or Red.

  • 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?

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

  • My iPad just blacked out. I thought it needed a charge but that did not help. It will not turn on at all.

    Try a soft reset by holding down the home and sleep buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release both buttons.

  • Xperia S does not turn on, red light when charging.

    My phone, after spending a day on a boat, was low on battery (this was 2 hours after leaving on the drive home). It went from 6% battery to shutting down completely in a matter of seconds. I plugged it into my car charger immediately, but it has not turned on since. Previously i have had problems with the headphone jack not recognising if earphones were plugged in or not, but this usually resolved within a few minutes. On top of this i have once struggled to turn the phone on due to i believe a once off problem with the power button.
    Recently the headphone jack has been playing up a lot more than usual, but it never resulted in this.  I have never experienced any other problem with the phone. PROBLEM: Once it turned off, I have been unable to restart my phone. When charging it shows a dull red light like when charging less than 15% battery. I have charged it now, on and off using multiple different charges for 6 hours, and have left it on its original charger as i write this. The power button plus volume up has no effect. There is no vibrations when i turn on the device. The screen which usually loads something when charging, has not displayed anything since turning off. It does not connect to either an apple or windows computer with a usb cable, volume down key depressed or not. It does not get hot to touch while charging, and i remember according to AVG that the battery quality that day was "good". After 6 hours of charging, the red light is still there(and usually a full charge after 1.3 hours, leaves a green light) Put simply, the only responce of any kind i get from the phone is a red light when charging. What have i done? recharged the phone for 6 hours, tried power button, restart button combo, usb connection with both an apple and windows computer, i also put it in rice in case there was any water but did not change anything. anything changed? after 2 hours of charging on the wall, the red light disapeared... tried the above, nothing happened, unplugged the phone then replugged it in... red light. I will try to get it repaired shortly along with a broken PS3, but i would rather a solution, as both my work and social life heavily depend on it. thankyou in advance

    If you have given it a good charge and still have no luck, I would advise running a software repair. This can be done with the phone powered off:
    1. Download the PC Companion software from http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
    and install it on your PC.
    2. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
    3. Phone Software Update.
    4. Start.
    5. Repair Phone
    6. Continue
    7. Accept data removal
    8. Next
    9. Wait for prepare
    10. Select Phone
    11. Follow the connection steps

  • Pearl 8100-Rogers not turning on-Red light blinking

    Hello
    I have new Blackberry Perl 8100.I got this from Rogers.It was sitting in box for few month.I tried turning on but it is not turning on.I left the phone in charge for more then 2 hour and it is still not turning on.
    I tried taking out battery but and replacing back in but stillit is not turning on.I can only see red light blinking.nothing else.pls help me .thank you.

    Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage).
    If it doesn't boot--try using a wall outlet charger if you are not. If you are connected via USB to the PC, make certain that you have Desktop Manager (or the USB device drivers) installed, which you can download below.
    Make certain your USB cable is connected to one of the PC's main rear USB ports. Not a USB hub, nor a monitor USB port, nor a USB port on the front of the PC.
    Download Desktop Manager from here:

  • Please help! Ipod touch not turning on :(

    okay, i have a Ipod touch 5th gen, had it a couple months now. this morning i put my ipod in its normal place- a draw, and no one could have been on it. when i get home however it's dead. i thought it needed to charge so i plugged it in, i left it for a few minuets but it still didnt turn on! I now have it plugged to my laptop and its not being recognised at all. i've pressed the home button to try and turn it on but nothing is happening! i havent done anything for it to brake please help!

    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 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.

  • Help My Macbook will not turn on

    One minute my Macbook worked then the next it would not turn on. When I push the power button it will make the sounds like it is turning on, then screen will turn white and a folder with a ? mark in it will blink. Does anyone know what is wrong with my computer ? Please help.

    If you have access to an Apple Store or other authorized Apple specialist with service department, you could take the computer in for diagnosis and repair under the AppleCare plan. Or the complementary coverage that comes with the computer if you did not buy the extended plan to add a few more years on the basic one. With the basic plan, you have 90-days support; if you bought the AppleCare extended plan, you have a total of three years support and service. Within the first year (from day of original purchase) you can buy the extended plan. Without it, a fee may be charged to test the computer. Or if there is an Apple Store with Genius bar, you could arrange to get an appointment there, and there should be no charge (in USA) to diagnose the problem.
    You can get started online, by visiting Apple Support:
    http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    Not sure what is wrong with the computer, but an expert could tell.
    Also if you have an Apple Store nearby (or within reasonable distance) you could call ahead to set an appointment to talk to a Genius, and have them look into the issue(s) the computer may have. One determined to need repair under AppleCare can be handed off, there.
    Did you have a backup method in place to save your work off the computer, such as TimeMachine and external hard drive? I mention this because a computer going into the shop for possible repair may lose its content, and the hard drive or other parts may have failed, so your saved stuff in there could be lost.
    Hopefully they can get the problem solved.
    Good luck & happy computing!
