How Do I Wipe Data from a BB Curve that won't come on?

My BB Curve died yesterday on me and it was under warranty. To get the $160 credit for it under the warranty plan, I need to send it back.  The problem is that it has all kinds of data on it... account numbers, personal information (birthdates, addresses, numbers, etc.) of 800 people in the  directory,
But since it  won't come on, I'm stumped. How do I wipe it? I've tried changing the battery out time and again, I've tried connecting the charger with and without the battery, I've tried connecting the data cable to maybe access the phone to wipe it--all to no avail. 
The pop-up I get when I plug it into my computer says: "USB Device Not Recognized." 
Short of applying a hammer to it (in which case I lose the warranty), how do I reliably wipe the data from it?
Please advise. 
Thank you,

Hello agunodm
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
If you're device is dead then its not an easy task to wipe that device , But there are a few methods and some third party software which you can use to wipe and if succesful you may be able to recover your device also .
At first I suggest try this Kmowledge Base, if you're successful then it will delete all data within your device and also will get your device working :

  • How do I wipe data from my macbook?

    I have a MacBook I bought in 2009 that is running Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 with a 2 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory. 
    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro, and I want to wipe the data from my old MacBook so that I can recycle it at the Apple Store.  What is the best way to wipe the data securely from my MacBook?

    Click here and follow the instructions. When you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C or Option key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

  • HELP: How do I recover mail from an old identity that won't rebuild?

    I am using Outlook for Mac 2011 and in the process of trying to fix my email that had been duplicated (since the install of Mavericks) Outlook suddenly froze and I had to hard reboot my machine.  On reboot I was told I had to rebuild the identity, but no matter what I've tried the rebuild would get all the way to step four and then say its not possible with error code -18000.  I finally managed to create a new identity so as least I can open Outlook again, but now how to I recover all my old emails and info that was stored in my old database?  I have no Time Machine or any other backup (yes I'm stupid...and yes I will immediately be setting up a backup protocol for myself) so all I have is the old database files (no .olm either).  Is there anything I can do?  I've searched for answers but haven't found anything so would very much appreciate some guidance.
    Thanks in advance

    You'll have to watch the video and buy a few tools to extract the driive.

    Then use something like this to connect to the other Mac or PC with MacDrive installed.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/U3NVSPATA/
    You also can get the same adapter elsewhere online for as low as $12 I've seen.
    Likely it's a USB 2,1 which your Mac's can only accept USB 2,1 anyway, no need to pay more for a USB 3 unless you want too.
    No compensation for site or product mention
    You likely should be having a professional or Apple tech attempt to bypass the firmware password if you forgot it, it's the best way to go about things.
    Just because the Mac has a spinning wheel gray screen at boot doesn't mean it's ruined, you just need to bypass the firmware password and then from there fix the machine's cause for not booting, which is likely a software issue from a third party kernel extension file.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    You should know that opening the iMac could likely ruin it and will ruin any warranty or AppleCare, and if it's a Early 2011 model or later you can't replace the hard drive yourself as Apple has proprietary software installed on the drive that needs to "talk" to OS X to control the fans speeds.
    Good Luck.

  • How can I transfer data from my G5 so that my Macbook can use it?

    I am getting ready to retire my Power Mac G5. I have a Macbook running Snow Leopard with only a 160G hard drive. I would like to put all of my pictures, music, documents, emails, etc. on an external hard drive which I could then plug into my Macbook. My G5 has a very large amount of data, well over 500G and I do not know what I need to copy and what I can ignore. I do not need applications, since my apps are on both computers. On my G5's hard drive, there's a folder for Apps, Library, System and Users. In System, is another file called Library. Is this a duplication of the Library file? Everything seems quite disorganized to me and I do not want to keep information that I don't need; neither do I want to lose information that I do want/need.
    The Macbook is a couple of years old, so migration assistant or the like doesn't make sense. I am also not geeky enough to understand much of what is written in these forums.
    Thanks.

    Move the item inside Users with the house icon over to the external drive or MacBook as desired. You don't need any of the other folders.

  • How can I Move data from one column to another in my access table?

    I have two columns, one that stores current month’s data and one that stores last month’s data. Every month data from column 2 (this month’s data) needs to be moved to column 1 that holds last month’s data. I then null out column 2 so I can accumulates this month’s data.
    I understand how to drop a column or add a column, how do I transfer data from one column to another.
    Here is my trial code:
    <cfquery name="qQueryChangeColumnName" datasource="#dsn#">
      ALTER TABLE leaderboard
      UPDATE leaderboard SET  points2 = points3
    </cfquery>
    Unfortunately, I get the following error:
    Error Executing Database Query.
    [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in ALTER TABLE statement.
    How can I transfer my data with the alter table method?

    I looked up the Access SQL reference (which is probably a
    good place to start when having issues with Access SQL), and
    it suggests you probably need a WHERE clause in there.
    I agree the documentation is a good place to start. But you should not need a WHERE clause here.
    Too few parameters. Expected 1.
    If you run the SQL directly in Access, what are the results? At the very least, it should provide a more informative error message..

  • How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.

    Hi All,
             How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.
             Can i do it ebven if he tables are different in structure.
    Please Advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Saket Tiwari,
    I hope the earlier post by kashyap is good enough an answer. anywas in addition to it let me give a detailed
    explanation of how you can populate an internal table.
    1) Append data line by line.
         Syntax :  APPEND [<wa> TO / INITIAL LINE TO] <itab>.
    this appends new line to internal table <itab>.
    2) Using COLLECT statement.
                 COLLECT is another form of statement used for populating the internal tables.  Generally COLLECT is used while inserting lines into an internal table with unique standard key. The syntax for COLLECT statement is as shown
         Syntax : COLLECT [<wa> INTO] <itab>.
    3) Using INSERT statement
         Syntax  INSERT [<wa> INTO / INITIAL LINE INTO] <itab> [index <idx>].
    INSERT statement adds a line/work area to the internal table. You can specify the position at which the new line is to be added by using the INDEX clause with the INSERT statement.
    Now coming to your request..
    To append part or all of an internal table
         Syntax
                  APPEND LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>] TO <itab2>.
    *     Note:
    Without the FROM and TO options, this statement appends the entire table <itab1> to <itab2>.*
    b) To insert part or all of an internal table into another internal table
         Syntax
              INSERT LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>]
              INTO <itab2> [INDEX <idx>].
    c) Using Move statement.
    To copy entire contents of one table into another in one execution
         Syntax MOVE  <itab1> To <itab2>.
                   OR
              <itab1> = <itab2>.
    but u hav to be careful because he contents of itab2 will eb overwritten on the execution of this statement.
    These copy the contents of ITAB1 to ITAB2. Incase of internal tables with header line we have to use [] inorder to distinguish from work area. So, to copy contents of internal tables with header line  the syntax becomes,
    ITAB1[] = ITAB2[].
    Coming to the letter part of your question, Yes, we can copy values between tables having different structures.
    for this we use    
                                MOVE-CORRESPONDING <itab1> TO <itab2>
        this executes the statement for their header lines. Searches for the sub-fields which occur both in itab1 and itab2 and then generates, for all relevant field pairs which correspond to the
            sub-fields ni , statements of the form MOVE itab1-ni TO itab2-ni. The other fields remain unchanged.
    I hope the information provided has been of your help.
    Reward if useful.

    Jose

  • How to pass the data from a input table to RFC data service?

    Hi,
    I am doing a prototype with VC, I'm wondering how VC pass the data from a table view to a backend data service? For example, I have one RFC in the backend system with a tabel type importing parameter, now I want to pass all the data from an input table view to the RFC, I guess it's possible but I don't know how to do it.
    I try to create some events between the input table and data service, but seems there is no a system event can export the whole table to the backend data service.
    Thanks for your answer.

    Thanks for your answer, I tried the solution 2, I create "Submit" button, and ser the mapping scope to  be "All data rows", it only works when I select at least one row, otherwise the data would not be passed.
    Another question is I have serveral imported table parameter, for each table I have one "submit" event, I want these tables to be submitted at the same time, but if I click the submit button in one table toolbar, I can only submit the table data which has a submit button clicked, for other tables, the data is not passed, how can I achieve it?
    Thanks.
