Pearl 8100 Wont respond or turn on

Hello folks
i have a pearl 8100 and last week it ran out of battery...however when i charged it the phone did not turn on and has not since...however the alarm still rings and the green indidcator light still flashes...when the alarm rings i cannot use the keypad to stop it so i have to remove the battery...and the phone doesnt turn on...when i press the power button nothing happens...zip...no response.....
any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated

I have a similar issue, only its for my wife's blackberry. She has an 8130 Pearl and had lost her blackberry over the weekend. We found it eventually but the battery was completely dead. I plugged it into the charger to have it charge but it will not turn on. A friend of mine had a similar issue and they suggested charging the device for 24 hours, but still no go.
The charger does work as I confirmed that with my other blackberry phone and when the pearl is "powered on" it shows all the indications of being off, however I can still call the phone and it will ring, the alarm will sound and the light blinks when there are messages received. However I cannot dial out nor see anything on the screen and the keys do not light up. Outside of the alarm coming on and being able to call the phone myself, I'd think that the phone was completely off.
I've pulled the battery and ran the update through desktop manager, and still it will not come on! I'm at the point of pulling out the rest of my hair.... Any ideas?

  • I have a new 32gb ipod 4 that has a black screen and wont respond to reset.  The screen shows no response to the charger either.  How can I get it to turn on?

    I have a new 32 gb ipod 4 that has a blcak screen.  It wont respond to a hard reset, nor does it acknowledge that it is being charged.  It was not dropped or damaged in any way. We are out of the country.  Help

    First, let's make sure that what you call a "hard reset" is a true system Reset...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

    I downloaded some songs I had on my computer to my Blackberry Pearl 8100. The songs are there, I can get to the screen where you

  • Pearl 8100 quit working when updating software

    I have a Pearl 8100 on AT&T and attempting to update the device software to version 4.5xxx.

  • Itunes wont respond after using Windows 7 Phone Connector

    I have a Zune and recently found that you can use that to sync the Zune with your MAC. I used it and it seemed to work at first (it synced all my itunes songs onto my Zune) but when I imported all my songs from my Zune it messed up my Itunes. Everytime I open it (even after force closing it and restarting my computer) it wont respond. It opens but the mouse turns into the loading icon and I cant click on anything. Any Ideas? I thought it may be just the amount of music I tried to import (I have about 30GB).

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document. iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)

  • My iPodTouch wont respond to car Sserio,iHome,or computer,only charger

    I recently bought songs from my ipod touch (1st gen.)but now i can't get the songs off of the ipod to put them in my library on my computer because the ipod wont respond when i plug it into the multiple USB ports on my computer.
    It wont respond when i plug it into my truck sterio, _which has a plug specially for the ipod_, or even my ihome.
    the wierd part is that it accepts charge from the apple charger which is the same thing as the USB for my computer, the plug for my truck, and the plug on the ihome.
    What the heck is wrong with it.

  • BB Pearl - 8100 Bluetooth: "Unable to locate Object Push Server..."

    I just purchased a New 2009 Audi A4 that has Bluetooth, however my Blackberry Pearl (8100) does not correctly transfer the Phonebook.  Based on what I've read on various message boards, I should be happy it at least functions to make & receive calls, however when I try to sync the phonebook, I receive an Error:  "Unable to locate Object Push Server..." 
    My BB Pearl has the following OS Version - 4.2.1.96 (Platform 2.3.0.78).   
    Based on the Official Audi Documentation, Research In Motion (RIM), Blackberry 8100 (Pearl), GSM, 4.2.0.51 was certified to work with the car.  I assume (maybe incorrectly) since I'm at a higher version, I should be ok.  I reviewed and have tried several options below, however have not been successful. 
    1.  Turn on Car & Pair, disconnect Phone, then Reconnect and manually "Transfer Contacts"
    2.  Move Contacts into a Specific Category, then in the Bluetooth Menu just sync that particular category...manually " Transfer Contacts"
    3.  Disable Encryption & manually "Transfer Contacts" In my Bluetooth menu, it says the following Bluetooth Options are available: 
    Discoverable: Yes
    Allow Outgoing Calls: Always
    Address Book Transfer:  All Entries
    Led Indicator:  On
    Services
    - Headset
    - Handsfree
    - Dial-Up Networking 
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,- Nick

    I too have a 2009 A4 Avant Audi - initially the BB and car paired beautifully, but after two weeks the phonebook would no longer transfer.  I managed to solve the problem by deleting the call log.  the BB keeps a lot of history and it seems as if over time, the memory get clogged, preventing the transfer of the telephone book.  On trying to doing it manually, you then get the unable to locate object push server.  Try it, it worked for me

  • Trouble Pairing Pearl 8100 with Plantronics 510 handsfree

    HELP!!!  I have a plantronics 510 handsfree set and Pearl 8100.  When searching for a device with the blackberry, it does not pick up the headset.  Ive tried turning the headset on while its searching as well as just being on.
    A plantronic 510 is an 'approved' compatible handsfree as per below link:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB04009&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
    Can anyone advise where Im going wrong?  Ive used this headset before with another phone and it paired no prob.  Just as the Blackberry has paired with my other phone.  I do not use both at the same time, Im transferring to the blackberry.
    HELP!!!
    Shirlzz
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Shirlzz,
    There are a few things that may be preventing the handsfree from pairing with the blackberry:
    Bluetooth device is not put into "pairing mode" before attempting to connect to the blackberry. To put the Plantronics 510 into pairing mode, hold down the "call control" and up buttons simultaneously. Please see the user guide for more detailed instructions. Once in pairing mode, attempt to add the headset via the blackberry.
    IT Policy. If using the blackberry on a Blackberry Enterprise Server, ensure that the IT policy that has been set by the BES administrator allows for bluetooth connectivity.
    The blackberry could be connected to another handset/headset or PC. You will need to drop the connection to any of these devices before connecting the Plantronics headset.
    Device Malfunction? Try turning the bluetooth off, then do a hard reset on the blackberry (Leave device ON, remove the battery & reinsert battery
    Let me know how you go
