Z1 compact wont turn on, three vibrations, flashing red light

phone wont turn on, tried the red button off button, tried the power and volume button, when in charge it keeps vibrating 3 times and flashing a red light, what can I do?

I had same problem too. It was about some water that got into my phone's inside even though every covers were thoroughly closed. What I was doing that opened every covers and taken out all of cards (MicroSD and Sim), then I left it to dry out in windy place nearly to my window. I had waited for few hours while it was completely drying out... but it still wasn't working, then I had blown strongly into to the openings in 3-4 times and finally it's turned on and working now as it was working.

Flashing red light phone wont turn on torch 9860

phone wont turn on and on charge red light flashes 4 times, any suggestions on how to fix please?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

My Curve won't turn on and no sign of flashing red light

Hi!
I m all new to this blackberry forum thing....anyway i have a blackberry curve and all of a sudden yesterday it just stopped working. when i looked at the phone the screen was all white so i took out the battery and put it back on thinking that it will come back up but it didnt. Then i took the battery out again and plugged it to the USB(without the battery) because ususally it comes back up, but it still didnt. i put the battery again and plugged it to the USB thinking that it needs to charge but still no since of that flashing red light. I took the battery out and put my friends battery (cos he has a curve too) but still it didnt work. I did try holding down the power (red)button still not back on.
I just dont understand whats wrong with it, its not like i dropped it in the water or dropped it on the floor. I didnt do anything to it. It just stopped working.
Im really frustrated right now...I just dont know what to do..i hope someone can help me
THanks!

I finally got my curve to work. I just left it on the charger for a while and then it powered up. It seems if its a little low on power and I don't charge it relatively soon it shuts down and won't power up for awhile. I've also updated the software and cleaned out the junk files. It seems to be working fine now, go figure.

My PS3 turns off randomly and a red light flashes

A flashing red light indicates the console has shutdown due to overheating.
Make sure the cooling vents are clear.
What model of ps3 is it - superslim, slim or original?

A quick suck with a hoover should be your first step.
If that doesn't help, you could open the console up (only if out of warranty), and blow around with a can of compressed air, as suggested .
The next step after that is some pretty major surgery on the console, which I wouldn't recommend unless you are totally confident at messing around with delicate electronic equipment.
See YouTube for examples.

My blackberry curve 8520 is not turning on it shows a red light

My blackberry curve 8520 will not turn on it shows a red light flashes 2x then my keypad lights an thats it nuthing else happens please help me i havent got a usb cable so cant use blackberry desktop manager

Hello Hasanm52,
Welcome to the community!
Seems OS is corrupt, so you have to arrange a USB cable to connect your devci with the pc.
Procedure to install OS:
1.) Download and install blackberry device software of Blackberry 8520 from www.blackberry.com.
2.) Install it in your PC & connect your device with PC.
3.) Access path c:\prog. files\Common files\ Reasearch in motion\ App loader\ now dowble click on loader.exe
4.) Further procedure i very user friendly, so please follow steps (may take approx 90 mins).
5.) In between, it will prompt you to take backup as well, so do take care while clik next or continue.
Good luck..!!!
Before doing above activity you may try
By pulling out battery & connect device with charger without inserting battery & wait for 5 to 10 mins.
Itwill prompt you a no battery sign on your handheld, once you get the sign on your handheld, insert battery without un plugging charger 7 wait for another 5 to 10 mins. Hope this will work for you....
otherwise you have to perform the first procedure, i mentioned...
Thanks....!!

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point. The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge. The initial green light shows a good charge. The red light means the battery is drained.
Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds. Then, turn it back ON. This resets the shuffle. Does it play again? If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again. Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays. Then, connect it to power and charge it to full. See if that makes any difference.
If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery. If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.
If you are good at such things, this web site has repair guides

Bold 9930 - dead and flashing red light

Bold - Verizon 9930, died with flashing red light, non-responsive. Can connect wtih loader, re-loading latest OS for Verizon (7.1.0_rel1737_PL5.1.0.429_A7.1.0.580_Verizon_Wireless) Load fails with "application loader was unable to connect with your device" when it tries to connect with the JVM. I have tried:- fully charged known good battery (tested in another 9930)- wiping device- start without battery, insert battery when JVM message comes up- both BB desktop and Loader directly- two different PCs (no change)- different USB ports- older version of BB OS for device- many, many iterations... All end with "application loader was unable to connect with your device" Is the device scrap? If so why? It's not even 2 years old, out of warranty, and apparently now totally worthless. This one is the CEO's Blackberry, and he's not happy... If I can't resolve this, it will be the very last BB to ever see the inside of our company. This is the second 9930 to die this way in the last 4 weeks.

Hello,
Firstly...

Does RIM care about these failure issues at all I wonder?
If you were hoping for a response from RIM, you have misunderstood the purpose of these forums. These are not a channel for any communications with, support from, nor escalation to RIM for anything. Rather, these are a user-to-user community of volunteers trying to help each other out amidst their own busy lives. So patience perhaps would be a good thing to have...
Nevertheless, please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):

This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
While you've already validated that your battery is good, I don't think you've tried the first part of this test:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
While perhaps redundant to what you've already attempted, here are a few more things to try:
KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
KB27956 How to recover a BlackBerry smartphone from any state
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
Since you are out of warranty, your next step I suppose would be to seek in-hand support from a qualified technician to give you a proper diagnosis. Doing such at this internet distance is quite a challenge and therefore cannot replace in-hand evaluation and diagnosis.
Good luck and let us know!

Flashing red light on my ACS 4.1

Hello, I have a flashing red light on my ACS. I have searched on Cisco.com to see what this meant and how I can fix it. I am aware that it is a critical error on the system health for my ACS. But what exactly does that mean? How can I figure out what is the problem before it becomes a big issue. Any help is well appreciated! Thanks!!

8800 upgrade attempt lost usage and flashing red light. No response.

Thought I'd upgrade from 4.5.011 to 4.5.018, at the suggestion of the desktop manager. Things were okay until it stopped. Fatal error message, flashing red light...nothing else. Attempted again, and again. Gentleman at BB store did the same thing. He thinks it's unrecoverable.
I've tried an overnight battery pull, apploader attempt through C and D drives, Problems with applications and software (exe v axl...) Other ideas?

I've tried it 3 times. The program erases the application and then begins loading, which gets about 20% of the way and then stops. Message is communications failure A:0x0000000E. And the red light, which was out while the process was running, comes back on. 2 flashes, stop, 2 repeat.
Point of info. The screen never came on during the erase.
I will keep trying...thanks.

Large outside Junction/Control box has flashing red light - bad or normal?

There is a Verizon outside box that is large with a flashing red light on its side. It appears to be a junction or control box mounted on the ground. It has been there for years and I do not remember seeing a flashing red light until now. Plus, my DSL connection has been dropping recently. Can a tech rep from Verizon High Speed Internet answer? Thank you for yur patience.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

These boxes are called Remote Terminals, and yes it is for DSL. The flashing light probably means that the battery backup has failed, so it shouldn't really affect your DSL unless your power goes out. And even then, the battery backup is only to power the voice line to make calls.
I would call 1-800-VERIZON and choose the option about "repair." I've had luck with getting poles replaced/repaired that way. Say that there's a flashing red light on the remote terminal, give the street address, and also give the central office you're out of (IE, your area code and first 3 digits of your phone number should tell the rep where you are). Also, stop by it and see if you can find any writing/markings on that, and tell them that too. Be as specific as possible. Make sure you get a ticket number from them, and make sure they have a call back number.
There was a tree laying on a wire near me, and I made sure I got a repair ticket; the next day a tech called me to say he was headed out that way and asked specific details about the location, what was wrong, etc. A few days later the tree was gone.

Flashing Red Light Quit Working

My flashing red light on the front of my 8350i has stopped working. You know, the one to notify you you've missed a call or have an unread email, etc. I've only had it about 2 weeks & was working fine until Friday. It quit working so I took the battery out & put it back in - nothing. Tried again on Saturday morning when it still wasn't working & it started working again...for a while. Now it's not working again. Haven't called tech support yet - anyone have any suggestions?

My ipod touch wont turn on and screen flashes how do i fix it?

my ipod touch wont turn on. the ipod is charged to the computer with a working cable(tested) and it is flashing the red charging sign and the plug me in low battery sign.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
