Phone turns off & won't turn back on. Flashing battery image w/ red line

I've been having an issue for a few days where my Curve 8330 will randomly "shut off", and then try to reboot but come to a screen with a battery and a flashing red line on it. It will come back into the OS occasionally, and work normally for hours, and then the cycle repeats itself. I've done battery pulls, bought a new battery and tried that, charged via wall and USB, and nothing seems to stop this from happening.
Based on other posts here, the only two reasons I've found for this is bad battery (which would not seem to be the case, since it happens on two batteries), or water damage (water never came near the phone, and the water sensitive stickers on the batteries indicate no water damage). Is there any other possibility besides having a defective phone? It's worked for three months without issues. Are there any ways to fix this besides a warranty swap/repair?
Thanks!

try a security wipe, doubt it will work but worth a try
backup device
options- security options- general settings
menu button- wipe handheld
wait till you BB reboots adn test it again without restoring your backup
if that doesnt work, try this
make sure you have DTM 4.7 or 5.0 installed and closed
plug in BB
click on start- run and type
cmd
press enter, then type
cd c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
press enter, then type
loader.exe /resettofactory
press enter
wait till you BB reboots adn test it again without restoring your backup.

i Had a simular issue years ago with my blackberry on ATT. As it turned out, my SIM had some issues. I would head over to your carrier and get a free sim replacement. It could be a phone or SW issue, but the Sim is my first guess give my experience

My kid just got an iPod 5th gen (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line and lightning symbol. No other response at all.

Sorry about the long title.....its my first post.
My kid just got a brand new iPod 5th generation (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line on left and lightning symbol below. There is no other response at all no matter what I do, including holding both buttons down for extended period. My other kid got one and it works perfectly.....I have interchanged usb cables ports etc. but still no response....I would really appreciate any help.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem with the iPod. This is because as you said the same cable works with another iPod.

Phone shut off and won't turn back on. Battery is not dead. What can I do?

My iphone4 shut off and won't turn back on. The battery is not dead, I tried plugging it in to power and to my computer and connecting to itunes. Nothing works. It is like the phone is just dead. Any ideas?

Plug iPhone into Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on wall charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

Airport turns off, won't come back w/o restart

My Airport card has been driving me crazy since approximately late May. It turns off at will, and I've searched the net and tried a host of fixes -- resetting RAM and whatnot (holding down various button at restart), deleting and adding a new location in network prefs, etc etc -- but nothing has worked. I'm afraid (and becoming increasingly convinced) that it is a hardware issue. Things are fine when I leave my MBP on the desk. But as soon as I try to move it, or put it in my lap, the Airport turns off (icon at upper right goes "empty"). And it won't turn back on unless I restart. This happens every time I move it, though if I'm reeeally careful and hold it at the front/sides, it might make it to its new location...for a bit. Then, if I move it around too much...gone.
I'm out of warranty and don't have Applecare, so if this is purely hardware related, I might be SOL...or have to do some surgery myself. But if anyone has any advice, it would be much appreciated. Like I said, I've tried resetting everything at startup, erasing and adding a new location in network prefs...nothing worked at all.
(Also worth nothing, back in Nov 08, I had a problem with the board, which incidentally was also interfering with the Airport a bit....but it was mostly just causing system failure. Sent it in via an Apple Store, and when it came back, the board issue/kernel panics/etc were gone, but I had a HD hum....as in, faint clicking noise coming from the right upper area. Stops when I hold down the P, [, or ] keys, or those in the vicinity. Unfortunately, my warranty ran out shortly after, and I couldn't afford to lose my comp for a couple of weeks in there. *****. Now here I am.)

Heey,
This has happened to me,
My iPhone 4S had 78% battery power. For about 10 minutes i was watching a movie and suddenly it turned off. It took me heaps long to get it to turn back on. And when it did turn on i entered my passcode and it had 75% battery power and it froze at the home screen. I went to reset it though iTunes and restore it from the last backup and it worked again.

My iphone 4 just turned off-won't go back on or charge

My iphone 4 16GB simply turned off while in my pocket this morning and now it will not turn back on. It will not recognize or respond to the charger when I plug it in either. I have had it 1.5 years with no problems. I updated the system when the new update came out and haven't had any problems. HELP!!!

Mine just did the same thing a little bit ago. Exactly what did you do and did you loose any data/photos? We were on the way home from vacation and I have my vacation photos on the phone.

My iPhone 4 just suddenly deleted all my contacts ? I turned my phone on off and some came back but not all of them ??

I was using my iPhone got a text opened in and all my contact names had gone went into my contact and it had deleted them all . I turned my phone on and off and 100 came back but not most off them what do I do ?

I suggest you immediately make a backup of your data. You don't know if or when the computer will show some symptoms from the drop. You may want to, for piece of mind, take the computer to an authorised service center for assessment. No one here can assess any internal damage you may have done.

How can you get your phone turned back on if the main line phone is being worked on?

My brother shattered his phone & his phone is the main line so my service is off. Is there anyway to get it turned back on?

Notebook shut off wont turn back on after battery tapped

I purchased 3 notebooks all are doing the same thing. If you set the down on any surface they shut off. One of them will not turn back on. I have switched batteries and charging cords. I don't see it as a recall but it's strange that all 3 are doing the exact same thing. Power cord when plugged in has a white light but no screen will turn on. Tried 2 different batteries and 2 power cords. I have tried just plugging in no battery only power cord and holding down power button, no change.I bought these last November 2014, I never had this problem will my Dell comouters. Anyone have any suggestions?? Very frustrated! These computers are barely used and don't leave the house, they are not abused.

8800, battery symbol with red line through it. Won't boot. Please help!!!

I recently bought a 8800 and when I inserted a battery, all I got was a battery symbol with a red line through it on a dim screen. I changed batteries, tried to charge it via USB and from a wall outlet to no avail. I tried cleaning the contacts and tried uploading t a new OS, but it wont recognize the phone being connected when it actually is.    I am at the end of my rope with this phone and can't figure out what else to do. Is it just gone? Please help me
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage).
If it doesn't boot--try using a wall outlet charger if you are not. If you are connected via USB to the PC, make certain that you have Desktop Manager (or the USB device drivers) installed, which you can download below.

Hating the temperature feature. I believe I left my phone on top of my car on a 30' degree day. It got taken or is lost somewhere and shut itself down like its suppose to. But now the "find my iPhone" app is useless!!How do I get my phone turned back on?

I need to find out a way to turn my phone on. Is there anyway the apple or my service provider can help me with this? What is the point of the app if it only works when the phone is on? Then it is only usefull within those first couple of days. Please help.

" Is there anyway the apple or my service provider can help me with this? "
No.
"What is the point of the app if it only works when the phone is on? "
The pont is to assist with locating a lost iphone.
"Then it is only usefull within those first couple of days."
Correct. How would any device be tracked if it had no power?
Very sorry for your situation, but there is nothing to do.
Report it to the police and change your passwords.

Display won't turn back on after battery dies

I have a Macbook Pro Intel Core i7 and am running OSX 10.7.5
Everytime I am using my computer and the battery dies, the display will not turn on after I plug it in again. I have tried to wait until the computer has charged up a good amount, but when I wake the computer back up after dying, the macbook startup sound plays and the LED light shines bright as if it were on, but no display. I have also tried click and pressing different buttons on the keyboard to see if this would wake it up, but no success. I have had to do hard restarts everytime this happens because it is the only way to get my display working again.
Any help is appreiciated. Thanks!

Hi i tried to update my iphone software and everything was going well till my phone turned back on and now it wont activate?

Hi I need help tryna activate my iphone 3gs after trying to ugrade the software. it wont allow me to activate my phone now

I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.
