Steady red light + Blank screen

Today, as I got up, I noticed that my blackberry cure 8320 had a white screen. This has neever happened before, so I just removed the battery, and put it back in.
Something I noticed was that when I inserted the battery, a steady red light appeared for about six seconds, and the screen was completely blank. Thinking that this would go away, I stepped outside, and I got a call. The screen was still black. I was able to answer the call prefectly fine, but I couldn't interact with it in any other way other than the voice command button.
I've spent the whole day googling it, and it seems that I can't find a solution. Any help?
***Notes:
The blackberry I have is unlocked. I ordered it online from BestBuy.
It's a T-Mobile blackberry running on AT&T
---EDIT---
I've also tried to connect it to my laptop, and it works fine. I've re-installed my OS (4.5), restored it, deleted everything on it, and still no luck. 

My son got up this morning with the same complaint, I now have it on while it is charging through the pc (although he said he charged it overnight via a mains plug) the battery is now at 15% so think that may have been the issue x

    Hope your Battery is charged properly and not creating issue at the time of re charging?
    Is your phone consuming much amount of Battery ?

  • BlackBerry Curve 8520, no red light, black screen.

    Hi Everyone,
    I upgraded my phone to a blackberry cure 8520 about 3 weeks ago, and I haven't dropped it or anything. It has been very well taken care of. Now the screen is completley black, and its plugged in but the red light doesnt turn on and if I try to turn the phone on nothing happens (No White Screen, No Red LIght, NOTHING!) Like i said this phone is not very old, and it was working a couple of hours ago and had almost half of its battery power left. The problem happened after I plugged the blackberry in. It was fine until then. I dont know what to do! Any suggestions?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Try a battery pull (hard reset) as your first step.
    Thanks,

  • MiFi - Steady red light

    Documentation doesn't make mention of a steady red power indicator.  I've had this unit for over a year with no problems to speak of.  We mostly use it with laptops and iPods as we go down the road and occasionally as a backup when the cable modem flakes out.
    This morning I was using it to surf the web for the cable provider's phone number to report an issue with the cable modem.
    After about 30 minutes of usage (it was not fully charged) the light blinked red and it shut down.  I plugged in the A/C adapter and the light went steady red (not amber) After being connected all day it is still steady red and I cannot get the unit to power on.  After unplugging the adapter the light remains steady red for 10-15 seconds before turning off.  Pressing the power button for any length of time from 1 second to a minute gives no response at all.
    Thoughts?  Suggestions?

    " The light is solid green when the device is on, red when the battery is low, and flashes red when it's charging"

  • Red Light On Next to Verizon Logo

    I have a steady Red light on my Incredible 2 next to the Verizon logo. Had this phone over 2 years - never saw this light before, nor can I find ANYWHERE what the heck this means. I've tried resetting. Also, battery is draining very quickly. This came on suddenly.

    KinquanaH_VZW what in the world would the charging port have to do with the proximity sensor?  Not to mention other chargers and outlets?  Like I suggested to lasinah_vzw please read the OP thoroughly before attempting to answer a question.  The OP clearly states that the light is to the LEFT of the Verizon logo, whereas the notification light (which blinks orange when the battery is low, and is solid orange when the device is charging) is in the speaker grill, to the RIGHT side of the phone.  I also find this disturbing that I have already addressed this and you also make the same incorrect suggestion.

  • Battety problems - blank screen wit battery sign with red line

    I have the blackberry 8900 curve. Recently when I put my phone on charge it would turn my BB off and turn it self back on again. My battery was about 2% and I put it on charge and the phone turned off but when I looked at my phone the red light came on and then blank screen with a battery sign with a red line through it.
    I got some advice to take out battery, sim card and memory card. Which I did and my BB turned back on. However my battery was still dead so I put it back on charge and it turned off and since then my BB hasn't turned back in. I've left it on charge and nothing.
    Would really appreciate it if someone could help me out on this.

    If a reset doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • Battery w/a red line or bolt going through it and a blank screen- HELP

    my phone was working and then I went to plug it in to charge, the screen went blank and a battery symbol with a red line through it came on. A Red LED light appeared. I tried to charge it for it was low but still nothing. I took the battery out and back in, charged it and still nothing. I had it charge all night and still the same blank screen w/battery symbol and red line. 
    do I need a new battery? what can I do to get my screen back and my phone working?? my phone was working prior to this. 

    Welcme to the Frums
    Where did you get your battery? Make sure it is the correct one for your curve and I would take it back. Maybe it was an old stock battery?

    l have an apple tv  2 generation please help me

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • Blank screen showing battery sign with red line - possible solution

    Hi to everybody,
    I had a little issue with my Blackberry curve 8350i, but I think this might go with several models. One day my Blacberry updated an application and restarted, but when restarting suddenly I got a blank screen showing a battery sign with a red line. I took out the battery and put it in again, but no luck. I searched on many forums if anyone experienced the same as me. I found a lot of topics but no solution. I called tech support of my service provide and fortunatelly I talked to a tech guy who was willing to help. He said that this error message usually might appear when the battery is faulty, not original (not my case) or device is not working, but before taking a final statement he wanted me to try something first. He said to take out the battery, the SIM card and any extern memory card. Then to clean any contacts with air. I followed his instructions and after that the device worked again without any problems. I would like to share this experience on this forum maybe this will help other to to solve similar issues.
    Best regards,
    Julix

  • No startup: blank screen, power light on, fans normal speed

    iMac G5 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HD, OSX 10.5, 17". Bought in October of 2005. Two matched Samsung 1GB RAM chips installed quite some time ago with no problems.
    While it isn't the iSight model, my iMac has done the blank screen with fast spinning fan thing a few times, but it always recovers after I turn it off. Here's what happened:
    iTunes is playing, I pause it using the Play/Pause button on the new wireless aluminum keyboard, it sits for a while and the screensaver comes on. I press the Play/Pause button on the keyboard again, the screensaver freezes and the fans spin up to maximum speed. I hold the power button down, it shuts off, I turn it on again and get nothing. It now powers up to a blank screen, fans at normal speed, the power light stays on, and the CD drive never makes its little startup noise. Holding the power button down does nothing, I have to pull the power cable out to turn it off. The only thing it has done differently since this happened is one time the power light didn't come on, otherwise no change. I also tried all of the different key combinations on startup (using the USB keyboard) and get no response, so no target disc or safe modes. Also, the CD drive won't accept any discs, so I can't start from the system discs.
    I don't want to pay for any expensive or major repair work since I was going to get a new iMac this Fall anyway. If anybody has any clever do-it-yourself tricks I'm wide open to them. Otherwise it looks like I'll just get a hard drive enclosure kit and get all of my stuff off that way.
    Help please!

    First, you may still be eligible for one of Apple's Repair extension programs also, try resetting the SMU.

  • Black screen, red light flashing

    I was downloading an app when a screen message told me to restart to continue installation. I pressed the Off button but now, despite pressing the start button, the phone will not come alive, although it was recently charged. There is just a black screen and the small red light flashes occasionally.
    Solved!

    Hi HarryTyrrell
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums
    Pressing the Off Button is not the Correct way to restart our BlackBerry device, please perform a Battery Pull Restart like this While Device is Powered On remove the Battery wait for a min. then re-insert it back wait till the device take a long Reboot. See if that helps.
    If not then try Starting your device On Safe Mode and on Safe Mode Uninstall the Application your Downloaded recently or which you think is responsible for that.

  • Black screen, steady power light...  and it gets weirder

    The other morning I turned on my 17" MacBook Pro that has my 30" Cinema Display hooked up to it and got a black screen on the 30" with a steady power light (no morse code flashing).
    There was nothing different from the night before (when it did work). No software updates, no new installs, nothing. I have a second 30" display and hooked it up to be greeted with the same issue. After swapping power supplies and a host of other things, I determined that it wasn't the monitors, but the laptop itself.
    I then hooked up a PC screen using a DVI adapter and got a picture. This led me to believe it might be a driver issue, so I re-installed the 30" display software to no luck. I then re-installed SnowLeopard with no luck as well.
    After researching the problem online to no avail, I found a link to a 3rd party USB display driver:
    http://www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php
    When I installed this driver and restarted my computer, the 30" display showed an image again. However, when I shut down or restart the computer, the monitor no longer shows up and I have to re-install the 3rd party driver to get a picture.
    I took it into Apple's Genius Bar and they deduced that, by process of elimination, it is a failed logic board. They ran their OSX through my comp and got no display on the test screen, which made them think it wasn't a software issue but a hardware issue.
    But when talking to a long established and reputable 3rd party Mac repair shop, they weren't so sure, but were at a loss to explain the problem. They suggested I test the USB port and the firewire port, which worked fine upon testing. At that point, they were stumped.
    Has ANYONE encountered this before or might have a suggestion/solution? I am having a hard time believing it is a logic board failure due to the above. PRAM has been reset and the monitor shows up sporadically upon safe boot startups without the 3rd party driver install.
    Help!

    Hello tsunshing,
    Your computer is on but nothing will how on the screen.
    Do a hard reset.
    Turn the computer off.
    Remove the power cable.
    Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth power sources are removed.
    This should reset the hardware in the computer.
    Do you see any lights on the keyboard or the computer flashing?
    Try to connect another monitor to the computer and see if you can get anything on the external screen.
    Let me know how everything goes
    Have a good day.

  • HP Laptop. Blank screen and caps and num lock lights flashing.

    Hi,
    I hope you can help me.
    My laptop is the HP Pavilion DV6-1216sa, bought new in September 2009. When I turn it on, I get a blank screen, the fan is working and the wifi, volume and mute lights light up. The caps lock and num lock lights flash together, once everyone 3 or 4 seconds. Normally when this happens (it has happened throughout the life of the laptop), I turn it off and turn it back on, and it works again. However this time, the problem persists. I've tried most combinations to get the bios screen up and I've tried getting it to another screen via hdmi and VGA, but no signal received. I have tried everything recommended by the HP support website. I have checked the battery, ram, and hard drive.
    Best regards,
    Jay

     The best cheapest fix is if you can remove the motherboard your self and send it to a refabricator who will check all the chips on the motherboard and reball the bad ones. Cost is about $60-120, closer to the bottom if you can ship them just the board but if necessary they will take the whole laptop and remove the board for you.
