Hey hakmilton,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
I would suggest contacting your network service provider to look at possible repair and exchange options. Since you tried a new battery and the LED won't come on, we can not even try reloading the device software.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

My Blackberry curve 8520 wont turn on or charge

My blackberry curve 8520 doesnt turn on and when i try to charge it , there is just the red LED light and the screen shows up some picture which shows a red cross on top of a battery. I also tried to connect this to my computer but it doesnt respong and also try with another blackberry original battery it showing same . but when i put my battery to another blackberry phone that phone is turning on properly . please help asap.

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!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

It seems that you have not installed the correct blackberry software for your device, or might be select the incorrect carrier for your blackberry handheld. You need to download the correct blackberry software with your service provider and before installing the software, disconnect your BB device from the computer and then install it with proper administrative privilege.
After installing the software on your computer, make sure to hard boot your blackberry handheld before connecting it to your computer. If the same problem persists, then use JVM Loder to complete wipe your blackberry device memory then connect with the desktop manager and install the software.
Good luck..!!!

Hello grasyapagsinta
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums
If you think your Battery it OK then try Updating or reloading your device software to rule out any software issue.Have a look at on how to perform a clean reload of device software :
KB11320 : How to perform a clean reload of the BlackBerry Device software using BlackBerry desktop software for windows.

MY blackberry curve 8520 wont work ) :

Hi.
I found an issue with my blackberry 8520 a day ago.
I texted my friend, Before going to sleep The letter key " A " was working perfectly fine.
I woke up the next morning, and i went to put my phone on charge because it was on 11%
When i came back, a friend had left me a message so i was going to reply him. I was going to reply "ya"
and i was stuck with " Y " i couldn't type A at all. With this, my phone would auto lock itself, and i had to press any key till any box would prompt and allow me to continue. I couldn't answer any calls as well. So i did a restart and i couldn't switch back my phone! I then took off the battery and tried it again Nothing helped after that reboot. I have got no idea how i should fix this.

It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath, gym locker, sweaty face or pocket can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out.
Does this sound likely?
It really is more common than you think.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
*Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
*On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
*On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

My Blackberry Curve 9360 wont turn on.

My phone was fully charged in my pocket, I hadn't looked at my phone for about an hour, I took it out my pocket and it was rebooting itself, which it never normally does. The phone didn't even get halfway and just turned off. After about 2 hours I tried again and it turned as it normally would but as the evening progressed this kept happening. In the end, I left the phone off and waited for the morning.
The next morning I go to charge the phone and connect it to the computer but it wont turn on at all. I have left it to charge for about 2 hours and still nothing.
I don't know what to do

Hello Salway1,
Welcome to the Community
Please connect your handheld with pc using USB cable and check whether pc detect your handheld or not.
Further, pull out battery and connect your device with charger without inserting battery & wait for 5 to 10 mins, a NO BATTERY sign will be shown on your handheld. One you find NO BATTERY sign, insert battery without un plugging charger & wait for 5 to 10 mins. Hope for luck..
Thanks..!!

My blackberry curve 8520 wont connect boot room.

I recently wiped my device then I tried to reload the OS I could not load because it got stuck on connecting to boot rom. When ever it tries to connect boot rom my device restarts and say USB not recognized.

Hi there,
Given the number of things you've done, I suggest a complete start over...
I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/Win7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
Some have reported that there are more registry keys to remove than are discussed in that KB
Others have reported the use of a registry cleansing tool to also be helpful
3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchronizing via USB):
KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
5) Install DTM to your PC
6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
Hopefully that will get things going again.
Good luck and let us know!

Hey, please can anyone help!!
My blackberry curve 8520 got wet 2 days ago and was fine for ages...
Then it completly froze so i took the battery out and now it wont turn on!!
There is no red light, no white screen, nothing
I have taken the batt out, left for a min put it back in but nothing. I tried taking it out for longer but still nothing.
I have left it on charge for ages but that dodnt work either.
Nothing happens, it just wont turn on.
Is it completly ruined or is there a solution??
It was working fine for hours after it got wet so little bit confused as to whether that caused damage or not.
Apologies if i have left anything out

I've often seen it recfommend to place in a bag of rice so that the moisture gets soaked up.
