My bb 9860 wont turn on!!

Ive had my new torch for almost two months. It was working normally until two days ago when I woke up to a dead blackberry. It just wont turn on, just kept gettin the red led on. I took it back and was told that this is happening a lot to this new blackberrys, and that theyve already have a bunch with the same problem. Something wrong with the software they told me. So, I am not sure to trade it in for the same phone, I dont want this to happen again!
Have this problem been fixed? I am a big fan of blackberry, but I find myself seriously considering getting an Iphone instead....
Dont know what to do! Need to decide asap! HELP!

I have not had this issue yet.

Torch 9860 wont turn off completely

I bought a new Bb torch 9860 the day before. It was working perfectly fine untill this evening. It has now stopped turning off completely which it was doing very well before. Now it goes into a standby - like mode and quickly turns on when the red button is pressed. Earlier it used to take time in loading ( i know it's a time saver but what if i want to switch off my phone competely to give it some rest). I am unable to switch it off completely other than by the method of removing it's battery. Please, please help before i knock on the doors of the service centre, which i don't want to so soon otherwise my father would scold me for buying such a phone.
Also, it had stopped showing recent updates in bbm and was suddenly not playing any media file before this thing happened. These two have now been resolved but the turn off thing still wont work.

Try a Battery pull please, with the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery 15 seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot device. This will clear all cache like rebooting a PC. Then try again and see if your problem persists.
When pressing and hoilding the outer right button, there should be two options turn off or full power off. choose full power off.

9860 wont turn on, i tried EVERYTHING

Hi everyone. So a few weeks ago my blackberry Torch 9860 started having difficulty switching on. The load bar, the white line you see when you switch on a blackberry phone, would only load about 70% and remain there indefinitely. I tried taking out the battery for a while and putting it back in but it wouldn’t help. It would not connect with blackberry desktop software(BBDS). So I searched online and decided its best I completely re-install my OS. I tried to wipe it with blackberry swiss knife(BBSK), but even it wouldn’t recognise that it was connected to my PC. So it tried with JL_Cmder utility. After several attempts JL_Cmder was able to pick it up, so I decided to wipe it without backing it up, I didn’t really care about the data. It was now able to be recognised by BBSK and BBDS, so I wiped it with BBSK for good measure. I downloaded OS 7.1, installed it and removed the vendor file as advised. BBSK displays “ No OS found, please install an OS for your phone “ when I press on load OS, but BBDS has OS 7.1 for 9860 on its installed blackberry device software list. I also tried using loader.exe but it didn’t work. With BBDS it gives me the option to update the OS but the download stops before it begins saying there is an error with my internet connection.
where did I go wrong, what should I do now?

Manual device OS upgrade instructions:
1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
2. Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion and unplug BlackBerry. Get DM here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
3. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
5. This step is not needed unless there is an issue on next steps. Use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a complete backup) then after you get the error 507 (no OS installed) then proceed to step 6
6. remove internet connection to PC and reboot PC.
7. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file was in.
8. if you did Step 5, restore from back up. Follow this KB if needed http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
Enjoy the new OS.

Flashing red light phone wont turn on torch 9860

phone wont turn on and on charge red light flashes 4 times, any suggestions on how to fix please?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

Battery wont charge and isight camera wont turn on-macbook, battery wont charge and isight camera wont turn on-macbook

i bought a macbook from a guy and when i started it up... surprise it wont turn on if its not connected because the battery is not being detected.... then what i checked first was photobooth surprise the isight camera is not working... i searched in internet about smc but i do not understand it.... is there a way to recover it using the cd?

Try resetting the PMU - Resetting MacBook and MacBook Pro System Management Controller (SMC). If you have no success then you'll need to take it in for service or replace the AC adaptor if it's gone bad.

As far as trying to power up your device, make sure it has a good charge and then hold the button on the top of the phone and the home button on the faceplate together until the apple appears on the screen.

Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

Hello ole-gunnar,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is unresponsive after updating your iOS version, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting below.
If you see a black screen
You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on.
You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device. If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
Restart your device.
If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Get more help
If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

I updated my phone to ios 8.3 and now it wont turn on, i tried to restore it on itunes csuse i said thats my only option but everytime its about to finish it says an error occured, what do i do?

iphone 6 wont turn on after i updated it to ios 3.8. tells me i have to connect to itunes so i did and it doesnt let me restore my phone, it always says an error occured, wha do i do?

If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?
