Help needed: blackberry keeps resetting or won't turn on after charging, especially via USB

This is a bit of an odd one and I'd appreciate any help that others can give me.
I've had my blackberry 8900 for about a year and a half now.
Whenever I charge my handset from an empty battery (e.g. this problem isn't a problem when I charge it if there's still some charge left) - either from the main power charger or via USB, I experience problems.
Whenever it's fully charged I unplug the charger and normally at this point it cuts out completely. The screen goes black and cuts out - it doesn't even go through the normal switch-off process. From then, it won't turn on for around 3 - 4 minutes (the red light occasionally appears on the top, although it's fully charged).
When it does turn on, it goes through a soft reset.
This is more of a problem when I charge it via USB but equally affects charging it from the mains as well.
Any ideas?

It's fixable. First, charge it for several hours and then WITH the
charger still connected, remove the battery a minute and replace, and
reboot.
If that does not do it, and it continues in the reboot loop
1)
Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2)
On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line
exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program
files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3)
The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In
the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN".
Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of
applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and
Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to
life. Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish
completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications
mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop
Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that
you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service
provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's
Operating System for your carrier and device.
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
Just
select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry
model from the list and download the latest version. Install this
download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right
path.

HT1363 My ipod touch 32GB keeps clicking and won't turn on or charge even though power is getting to it. The screen shows a sad face ipod.

We have an ipod classic with wheel. It keeps saying low battery even though I have had it charging for ages. It also makes this clicking sound but refuses to do anything else. I can't get any screen to show except a sad face ipod and the "low battery" screen. I have tried to do the restart option but it makes no difference. 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 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. If defective, within warranty and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost

I charged my phone and now when I try to turn it on the Verizon banner flashes on and off but the phone won't turn on.

Iphone 5 overheated battery off won't turn on after charging

i charged my iphone 5 this morning but it got overheated for the first time and there was a message on the screen saying to wait until it cools down but then the phone was out of battery in few minutes and it doesnt want to turn on i've been charging it for 4 hours and nothing happened there is only the apple icone that appears and nothing more what can I do please?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

can anyone help, my late 2010 MBA's - OS X Lion 10.7.5 wifi won't turn on after a deep sleep.. thanks..!

Hi John,
Thanks for the additional information. What I would try next is resetting System Management Controller:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

If this still doesn't help, it would be time to take it in to be looked at. You can setup an appointment at a Genius Bar by clicking on the following link:

Reset iphone won't turn back on

reset iphone won't turn back on

Your post is extremely vague and several months old but hopefully this info can help others seeking a solution. I too had a problem with my iPhone (3gs in my case) not coming back up.
What happened -- I was using it normally and it rebooted and was stuck on the apple for a long time and wouldn't ever get past it. So I tried to reboot it by pressing power + home but it would just reset and never power off, and get stuck every time.
What I did to fix it -- I actually had to just remove the SIM card then reboot the phone. After it came back up I put the SIM card back in. It froze up for a short time after that as the service reactivated. But then it is back to normal now finally. Whew!

Why do I have to keep reseting my iPad to turn it on

Why do I have to keep reseting my iPad to turn it on. Is this a fault?

why do I have to keep turning my Photosmart 6510e off then on for it to print.? It works sometimes but is really annoying!!

Woke up and my phone was completely dead. Won't turn on, no charging, nothing at all. Thought maybe some kind of water damage because it was on my windowsill, but neither of the water detectors have turned a color. Help?

No that’s probably what I’ll do. I'm thinking the guys at the apple store can only do basic technical support since most of them are sales people that don't know how to physically repair phones. It seems kinda silly that, as fine as a product the iPhone is, when something like this happens they just tell you to replace the entire device without doing any proper diagnostic. If it was any other phone you could simply take it to a cell phone repair shop and they'll usually fix it. It’s almost as though Apple assumes their products will never fail so that when they do, the only solution is to replace the entire device at a cost higher then it would be if it was just a simple fix. So hopefully the local cell repair shop can do something instead of having to replace the entire phone. I'll accept the fact if I have to replace it after taking it to a few places and having some real technicians look at it, instead of a 5 minute trial and error diagnostic done by a sales associate at the apple store being quick to tell me that the phone is useless and has to be replace for several hundreds of dollars.

My Ipad air won't turn on after the new IOS7 update

my Ipad Air won't turn on after updating to the new IOS 7.1.1. It ask me for my password I put it in, the apple logo appear and then it want off now it won't come back on. need help please

Did you try this?
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect.

7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect. I loaded some new music, synced and ejected correctly. screen went black on unplug. Waited, did the button trick, didn't work. plugged it back in & it is recognized immediately. restored, resynced & ejected again. same thing-black screen w/ no response. Charged it overnight. ejected, screen then went to language setting. OK for English, eject & back to black on unplug. Switched ports for cable, tried eject thru PC...all resulting in dead nano after unplug. I really don't want to charge into the store & take it out on the poor kid who will catch the brunt of my frustration. anyone have a suggestion?

Hello Marie,
I would be concerned too if my iPod nano was not powering on. I found an article for the 6th generation iPod nano that has steps you can take for an issue like this (the only difference for the 7th generation iPod nano is the steps you will take for the reset. I included the steps to reset a 7th generation iPod nano below):
Will not turn on or screen remains dark
Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
You can find the full article here:
iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3474
All the steps apply to the 7th generation except the steps for the reset. To reset a 7th generation iPod nano, use these steps:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for six seconds, or until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds, and then the Home screen. You may need to repeat this step.
I got these steps from this tutorial, which may also help with your iPod not appearing in iTunes:

What to do now when my iPad won't turn on after I turn it off. It shows only the apple logo. I am sure it has above 70% charge as when I sync my iPad it shows necessary detail in iTunes. I have tried, HOME & POWER button, but did not work.

MacBook Pro 15" won't turn on after a shut down.

My MacBook Pro 15" late 2008 mavericks won't turn on after a shut down. Tried SMC reset, plugged and unplugged charger multiple times as well as installing the battery. It has started that after a while I have replaced my old battery with a new one,upgraded to Mavericks and increased my memory to 4GB. In the beginning after I would install every time the battery ,it' would turn on after 8-10 tries. Today it's completely unresponsive . Tested different outlets, with and without battery,nothing worked. I also heard that some other people have this issue once they have updated their operating system from 10.5.8 to Mavericks. Is that the problem.? Has anyone found a solution to this?

Hey! Don't mind.
First Off, you upgraded your phone, not PC Suit.
You most probably did it by using PC Suit (PC suit uses Nokia Software Updater) to upgrade it.
I suspect there was some fall out while downloadin or installin the updates.
Earlier I would advise people to go to nearest Nokia Care centre.
Now, the 3 fingers action might cure it well,though I'm not sure.
The method:
--The number 3---the * star----The green call key--- .
If the phone still cant turn on.
Then, if you have any warrenty and have a nokia care centre near you, make a trip to there.
They will cure it.
