Unable to turn on radio

I recently bought a BlackBerry 8230 for Verizon. I charged the battery and turned on the phone and it would not pick up signal. At the top of the screen is says service required and has an X next to the signal indicator. I am running OS 4.6.
I've tried pulling out the battery, going into manage connections and turning it on (the box never will check) and tried to register in the host routing tables all to no avail. I've also tried wiping the device and restoring the OS. Any ideas anyone? Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
If you cannot turn the radio on, then there is nothing else it can do. Since it's brand new, I suggest you take it back...there's no need to fuss with something brand new that isn't working.
Good luck!

  • S400 unable to turn off wireless

    Hi , I am unable to turn off or on wifi/bluetooth with the f7 key(alternatiely the wireless key). wifi and bluetooth are enabled always whch i feel is power consuming when not required. the key seems to be unusable.
    netbook config is :
    i3, 2gb ram, atheos ar9285 wireless lan adapter, atheos ar3011 bluetooth adapter
    i have installed both the wireless drivers from lenovo support.
    what should i do to correct this.

    hi Pravinrajpaul,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    If you're running Windows 8, pressing the Airplane Mode (F7) turns OFF both the Wireless and Bluetooth radio. If you want to turn off just the Blueooth though, you will need to do it manually by:
    1. Opening Device Manager (press Win Key+X > choose Device Manager)
    2. Expand Bluetooth Radios then right click > disable the blueooth adapter.
    3. For the wireless, choose Network Adapters under Device Manager and right click > disable the wireless module or boot into the BIOS by pressing the One Key Recovery button and under the Configuration Tab, set Wireless LAN Support to Disabled.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPhone 4S keeps losing connection and turning off, and i am unable to turn it back on again without the charger, but it turns on when i press the button and regains signal fine once i return home?

    Hi
    I have recently bought a white iPhone 4S on Tuesday, and it has been repeatedly loosing all connection and just suddenly switching off.
    When this happens I am unable to turn the phone back on again without a power source plugged into it. When I try to remove the phone from the power source it goes completely dead again.
    However, the most recent time this has happened (today), as soon as I returned home the phone had no problem starting up as normal when I pressed the power button.
    The signal was working fine even though it says 'searching' in the left hand top corner of the screen. I am wondering if my WIFI at home is influencing the phone to work inside the household?
    This is a problem that needs to be sorted out ASAP because the phone is not working the majority of the time when I need it to.
    Please if you have any suggestions or know the cause of this problem inform me straight away.
    Would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it.  See this article for help on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.

    How do i deactivate a device through icloud if the device is broken and i am unable to turn on find my iphone? Also i do not own a apple id as ive been using a family members due to problems when trying to make one?

    Hey tyjox,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to deactivate Find My iPhone on a device that does not work. You will need to work with the family member of the account the iPhone is registered with. I would recommend that you use this article to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
    Remove an iOS device you no longer have
    If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, then select the device.
    Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
    When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased and someone else can now activate the device.

  • HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

    My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

    Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

  • Unable to Turn on Home Sharing after iTunes upgrade

    After the latest iTunes upgrade onYosemite, I get an 'Unable to Turn on Home Sharing' error on my 2 Apple TVs plus iPhone and iPad.  Previously, I had no problem.  I have restarted and reset my iTune on my MacBook plus all the devices now receiving an error message and the inability to utilize Home Sharing.
    I can send videos to my Apple TVs from my MacBook through AirPlay, so this is not a network error.

  • HT5012 After a flight with airplane mode on, my attempts to get cellular data came up with a No SIM.   It says this in upper left and I am unable to turn on cellular.  I've tried turning airplane mode off and on and off but nothing changes.  Any help out

    My iPad2 with cellular is saying No SIM in top left.  I am unable to turn cellular on after a recent flight and having been in airplane mode.  Any helpful suggestions?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
     Cheers, Tom

    Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged.  Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
    Have you done so?  If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer.  Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

    Try to re-set it as rudegar suggests. If that doesn't work, try a restore. If that doesn't work, try a restore as new.
    If the settings are still grayed out, then your phone has suffered a hardware failure.

  • How to turn streaming radio off

    I am having turning streaming radio or Pandora off when using OS4. The stream doesn't go off when switching to another app. I can't see an on/off button in the radio or Pandora app. I like using multple apps but would like to turn off the stream.

    The app has a play/pause button that will stop it. If it's in the background, you can double click the home button and scroll left to get to the audio controls.

    Hi Eweryone
    I am using Jdev 11.1.1.4.
    I am using a Transient Attribute in my ViewObject1("Updatable = Always") with Static List of Values coming from Different View Object2.

    Settings for the Transient Attribute are
    in the ViewObject1 its " ControlType : Radio Group"
    in its List Of Values " Default List Type " Radio Group"
    to its BindVariable "Control Type : Radio Group"(i tried keeping this and not keeping this ,but no luck.)

    I really appreciate if some one helps me .Thanks in advance.

    The need to override paint() is that i want to show an image for which i am trying to use g.drawimage() method in paint. I don't know whether i can show an Image in a panel or not .
    The image that i want to show is in a byte[] array. For which i was previously using
    ImageIcon img = new ImageIcon(buffer);
    Then i took a JLabel
    JLabel label = new JLabel();
    label.setIcon(img);
    The problem in using this method is that i am continously updating this buffer with a timer and it continously update the image on the label. This shows flickering in the display .
    whereas if i use g.drawimage of paint method it does not show any flickering but then i am unable to use my other panels of Applet.
    Please tell me is there any imagelabel kind of a component on which i can show an image .
