The dreaded battery with blue streak strikes again...

BlackBerry Pearl 8130 Sprint w/ latest updates.
Ok so went to the beach today and had the phone fully charged. so I went out there and left it on the beach for about 2 hours, face down inside a bag. The bag and phone were pretty darn hot when I came back but the battery at that point didn't seem affected. So I went on with my day texting, calling and what not. So the battery goes into the "red" 20% area and I put it face down on the ground again and this time the sun wasnt touching it.
I came back 20 mins later and the phone was all the way off with the red light blinking intermittently. so I figure ok I'm out of battery, I have to wait till i get home to charge. This is where the problem begins. I let it sit on the OEM wall charger for about 15-20 mins and nothing happened. I found this weird since I've drained the battery to the point of it shutting down to conserve power. so I take a look and press the start button, try holding it, and nothing, so I do a battery pull and nothing. At this point im freaking out a little thinking about how hot the phone had gotten earlier in the day.
So....here I am after having taken the battery out, plugging in the phone, waiting for the no battery symbol, and plugging it back in to get the battery with the blue streak across it. I left it alone for another 20 mins just in case it really was that drained and nothing. I plugged it into the computer and the computer recognizes it for about 15 secs, loads the usb driver and then just disconnects. The odd thing is, I have to use a flashlight to see the icons on the screen, like the backlight flashed once when I first plugged in the phone and hasnt come on since. Am I screwed or what? I'd rather not have to do a "O.S. nuke" but if that's the only choice...I'm getting my friend to lend me his battery tomorrow to see if it's the phone or battery that's screwed. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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).
I just revived two devices with batteries that had been sitting dead for two months, this way.
Be patient, let it charge. Make sure you are using a charging source (wall, auto or PC/USB that you have known to charge correctly in the past).

  • The dreaded battery with red line (battery not detected)

    I've tried everything I can find to fix this problem...  a little while ago, I was writing a text message when my 8900 decided to reboot.  When it came back, all that was on the screen (and all I've seen since) is the battery with a red line through it.  I've done battery pulls, charded for more than a day using both USB and directly into a wall... I tried to wipe and reinstall but have been unable to complete the procedure (symbol reappears part way through)....  anyone out there have anything else I can try?  Here is a bit more about the attempt to wipe and reinstall the OS:
    Downloaded and ran JL_Cmder, was unsuccesful, it wouldn't connect to the phone.  Ran AppLoader from command prompt, finally able to get it to connect to the phone by unpluging from the usb, removing and replacing the battery and plugging back in immediately as the red light came on.  Got through removal of applications and instal oif JVM and system files, on the step where it waits for the device to initialize, it stops and the battery/line comes back on the screen....
    any further thoughts/advice are greatly apprecaited.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Mine is doing the exact same thing...We are not the only users who have run into this SAME problem. I have searched everywhere for a solution. I've tried JL, BBsak, DM, and crackmem. Nothing works...can't seem to connect

  • I get a white screen with blue streaks?  Keep turning on and off until it disappears.

    I get a white screen with blue streaks?  Keep turning on and off until it disappears.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • So now and then opening firefox the topbar with news, maps, etc is written in a black bar and another time the normal white with blue letters

    the top bar in the openingpage instead of written with blue letters in the white screen, it is black with a lind of white letters.
    sometimes black and sometimes the normal blue letters

  • Replacing the nano battery with the invisible shield... How?

    Does anyone know how the invisible shield will work when the battery needs to be replaced? I am looking for a permanent solution. While I know that I will be able to peel the Invisible Shield off for the battery replacement, the shield will become stretched and distorted. At this point I will not have a shield, and don't have to want to buy another one. The only solution I think would be possible is if there was a way to slice the shield with a razor (around the seam). Any ideas. Perhaps I shouldn't buy the Invisible shield, it might just be a short term solution.
    Anyone?

    Actually, I think the more prudent question is whether or not the nano will even be accepted for battery replacement by Apple, or anyone else with a cover like that attached to it.
    They could even charge extra money to deal with it, I can see either situation as being realistic.
    If that does turn out to be the situation, then it would come down to a matter of costs as far as what you would need to do.
    That being said, I personally think it is way too early to even worry about things like that since it is years off at a minimum, and it could very possibly never need to be done.

  • Is it OK to charge the ipod battery with a firewire cable?

    I find I can connect my 60GB black ipod photo/video via a firewire cable to an electric plug that came with a prior ipod and plug it into an outlet to charge it.
    But is this OK to do or can it cause some problem with the ipod?

  • Qosmio F30 starts with blue stripes during the start screen of Vista

    My Qosmio F30-114 runs since years without Problems with Vista Ultimate.
    Since some Days there is a huge Problem.
    The Qosmio starts with blue stripes during the start screen of vista.
    So I deleted the driver of the graphic card and used the standard vga card driver. the hardware assistent found a driver on the system.
    For a short moment i was very lucky.
    After a restart, there was a blue screen. after the next restard, again the standard vga card driver.
    What can i do?
    The download section of toshiba has no drivers for graphic card.
    And really ... i wonder - how does it works all the years without problems...
    Has anyone a solution?
    thanx
    toshibalover ;-)

    Hi!
    First of all do you have this issue on an external monitor too or only on the internal monitor? Maybe its not a problem of the graphic card so check this with an external monitor.
    I have checked the Toshiba website and there I can find some drivers for the Qosmio F30:

  • Aperture on Intel iMac running 10.7.5 has blue streaks on color photos and on Aperture menu bar

    Everytime I open latest version of Aperture, I get blue streaks across the photos and on the menu bar for the App.  Photos that are opened and or exported in Aperture are corrupted with blue streaks.  This problem makes the App completly useless.

    They are nothing like I expected to see.  When viewing at 1000% (in Graphic Converter), they appear to be different shading on individual pixels although it can easily be missed, even on my Retina display on my MBP?  They definitely do no appear as lines or streaks.
    In the EXIF info, I see that the exposure is described as the Creative Exposure Program.  What does your camera manual say about that?  Any googling I do seems to refer to some sort of Art Filter?  Whatever it means, it also seems that the photo had to be rotated.

  • Red circle with blue dot next to a mail message, red circle with blue dot next to a mail message

    Received a mail message on my iPhone and next toit there is a red circle with a blue dot inside it. Normal messages have a solid blue dot when unread. What does the red circle with blue dot mean?

    I would agree with Barney if the question had been an e-mail in the inbox but in the sent folder I still wonder why the blue dot. I also had this happen for the first time today 6/27/13. I resent both figuring it might mean the mail had not been sent properly.
    No, it means unread, had you opened the mail in the sent folder the blue dot would have gone away.

  • I bougt a new  Macbook pro in 02/26/2013, in  11/25/ 2013, my trackpad become bulging, they exchange the trackpad, but not the bulging battery.  I went there yesterday, with different problem, and they said one screw  came off from the  truckpad again!

    I bought a new  Macbook pro in 02/26/2013 from Apple Canadian Ices -003.  Than I could not use it, because  my cursor uncontrollably  was jumping around the screen, I was  resumed my trackpad become bulging, Than on11/25/ 2013 they changed my trackpad for free, because was manufactoring defect,  but not the bulging battery.  They said that is do not needed.  Since that my cursor is quiet often quivering, I think my Macbook has serious  manufacturing defect. But they said no, during a year period I went to  the genius bar at least 15 times, with this and similar problems.   I went there yesterday, with different problems, and they said one of the screws  came off from my   truck pad, therefore they need to fix it and change it.  I said: -  What,  how, what  is the real problem?  A screw does not comes off just like that?  They will change my trackpad again, but not the battery. They said  has to rebuild the operation system, I'm  saving all of my data right now! I would like to exchange the battery too, or maybe get a new Macbook. My Macbook is 2010 China model. How long I would have this trackpad  problem? What are you suggesting?

    If it's a 2010 as you say towards the end of your post, it's out of warranty. The battery isn't covered in that case. Why don't you just buy a new battery if that's your concern? If it's a 2013 as you say up at the top, it shouldn't have a bulging battery. How do you know it does? If it really does, ask for the store manager and explain the problem.

  • I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    As I wrote Apple will diagnose an Apple product even if it is out of warranty for free. That should be your first step to find out if the problem is the battery or something else.
    Once you have Apple telling you a 7 month old battery is defective (if that turns out to be the case)  then it becomes a game of horse trading. You'll need to speak to the tech and when he tells you there is nothing he can do you will need to speak to the tech manager and when she says most likely there is nothing they can do you go to the store manager, etc.  It is unlikely (though possible) that they will give in easily you need to be firm, polite and let on that you're willing to accept a partial reimbursement.
    So again the first step is to find out what is wrong.
    good luck

  • Communication Problem with the second battery

    Hello,
    In Lenovo Solution Center it says that there is communiction problem with the second battery. I already had this problem some months ago, back then it didn't charge the second battery. I got a new one and it worked again. Now it says the same thing "communication problem", but i can charge the battery and I also can't find any other sign of something not working. But still- it seems weird that the program tells me something is wrong. Can somebody help me?
    Thanks Lina

    Hi, Lina
    What is the machine type and model of your computer? Also, what operating system are you running?
    Thanks in advance,

  • My iphone wont open, i even recovered it but to no avail, all it does is go to the white screen with the apple logo then turn off again

    Hey everyone,
    This morning i took my phone out of the charger and everything was normal however, once i got in the car i looked at my phone and realized it was turned off. I tried turning it on again as well but all it does is going to the start up screen (The white screen with the apple logo) and then it turns off again as well. I also put it on the charger but it does the same thing but repeatedly. So it just goes to the white screen and off again. At last i resorted to recovering my phone even if it meant losing all my data. Slow internet connection meant it took all night but in the morning i recovered and everything and got to the last step ( It told me its finished but i should leave my phone connected to itunes and it will pop up there) but all that popped up was an error screen. It still broken but now sometimes when i try to turn it on the same white screen with the logo comes on with a bar under it. this bar fills up a little then the screen goes black again. Is there any other way i can try to fix this?
    P.S. There are no apple stores in my area so i took it to one of the phone stores here and even they said they couldnt do anything about it

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
