Z10 will not charge & with new Battery will not turn on

I have have had my Z10 about a month now, I am gernerally happy with it as a work phone which is similar to my private Iphone5. Unfortunately the Battry life has been reducing on a weekly basis to around 4 hrs between charges. Now it is dead and will not wake up, so I bought a new Battery, now it blinks once the three times but will not turn on.
Any ideas ? The OS is the latest on the Blackberry site, but as I can turn the phone on I can't be more specific.

Hello,
From your description, if your charger is "known good" (e.g., it can charge other devices), then one can only deduce that something (hardware) inside the BB related to passing power from the charger to the battery has broken. Or that something passing power from the battery to the device has broken.
Regardless, if your charger is 100% fine, then it sounds like a hardware problem for which no amount of OS/software level fixes nor internet-distance diagnostics can be of much value.
I recommend you seek formal support via your official warranty channel. Normally, that starts with your original place of purchase or an authorized service center -- it varies by region.
Good luck!

  • Will not charge with new cable

    I have an iPod classic 5th gen and it will not charge with any newer cables. Either apple or aftermarket. I have found it will charge when I hook up my Kensington battery pack and it charged with an older cable but I no longer have it. It's their something different about older units and charging accessories?

    There is no difference.  They are exactly the same. So it doesn't charge whether you plug it into an available USB port on your Mac or via a wall adapter?
    Have you check to make sure the iPod's dock connector port was clean and clear of any sort of debris and/or damage such as bent, broken, or corroded pins?

  • TA44551 my i pod classic will play works great! in a dock but will not charge ( after new battery ) HELP !!!

    I have an older Ipod classic it plays on everything i have . Recently replaced the battery because it would not take charg .After new battery it plays through several defferent devices but it will not CHARG !!!    HELP!!!!

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                          
    Also:
    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.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    - I love Apple but they are really getting on my nerves, I have had top send back 2 ipods(one they actually had the balls to charge me for shipping) because of battery issues( the battery would only hold a charge for 20 minutes)
    MESSAGE TO APPLE!!! either lower you price or build your products in the USA so we can get quality product. Having to send a computer to you for repair is not the answer, you owe your users more than that for the price you charge.
    sincerly,

    My wife bought me a new powerbook for christmas and I got it Jan 3rd 06.
    Take it out of the box and set it up. Battery doesn't charge! won't Charge and apparently is a placebo! 2000.00 dollars, and counting. Imagine buying a new car without a battery under the hood! What the is going on??? I Go down to the apple retail store and they have NO 15" power books and no batteries because this is a big problem. They have been authorized to just swap out the computer, and or swap the battery. They are out of both till who knows when, (7 to 10 days ).! On the eve of the MAC WORLD CONFRENCE I am feeling sick about the whole IDEA that these power books were all sent out like this Apple should get them back before they are sent to consumers!! Apple and the reputation they have of being HIGH qaulity and RELIABLE is in trouble. How many class action law suites, POOR MERCHANDISE, ( I SENT BACK A NANO- CRACKED SCREEN and A PHOTO ipod that was purchased last Christmas- 400.00 dollar and a bum battery) Lets not forget the original ipod
    LAW SUITE AND ALL, I had one sorry to admit. Qaulity is going down with Qaunity. I'm afraid to see what happens with the NEW intel Computers. It could just get worse. I just wanted to go wireless and I don't have a battery to
    do that. So as I watch the mac confrence on my new 2000.00doller computer and am tethered to an Electical out let while getting stream from my new base station, I will certainly be thinking about how APPLE claims their stuff ALWAYS works better than a widows machine.... or does it really?

    battry. the statues states not charging. any solution?
    I really don't quite understand that. How about a bit of clarity. lets start with proper identification of your notebook. You have mixed up dv7 and the beginning of an Intel CPU identification. that is not a viable identification number. When you remove the battery take a look in the compartment revealed to find the p/n. Post it here please.
    When your battery is replaced with another battery in your laptop does it charge? Is the replacement battery a known working battery?
    Have you tried the battery check in BIOS or the HP Support Assistant? 
    Does your notebook boot into Windows with just the power adapter connected?

  • Haven't used my Ipad in awhile? Will I need a new battery? Not starting up.

    I haven't Used My Ipad in awhile...Does it need a new battery? Won't start up.

    The best thing to do would be to plug into the power adapter and a wall socket and let it charge for at least an hour. Then try to crank it up. If you haven't used it for a while and the battery did not have a full charge, it may be that a recharge will do the trick.

  • Ipod not charging with usb, but will with firewire?

    ipod will only charge at apple store using a firewire charger. What can I do? It seems not to charge are all using usb.

    Why not just use Firewire? If Firewire works, use that. There is no need to send the iPod in for service if Firewire works and USB does not.
    the reason I would send it in for service if the USB portion of the connector is not working is:
    1) it could be a problem that will propegate to the firewire side of the connector
    2) because the USB side should be working
    3) if I am someplace with a machine that does not have a firewire port to plug into
    if its covered under the warranty, then get it fixed so everything works
    imho

    I'm having the same problem.  I got my battery replaced about 2 months ago because my Macbook Pro (got it in 2008) would keep shutting down after a minute or two of being unplugged, so I figured the battery was on the verge of death.  Last night I noticed that when I had it unplugged the battery life was wavering between 1% and 2%.  I plugged it in and it says "Not Charging".  It was fine a few days ago, showing me a life remaining time.

  • Why does my computer say that its plugged in but not charging yet the battery is not reducing

    it says plugged in, not charging, 99% (battery life)
    but the battery life is not reducing & hasnt for 2 days. it just stays like that.
    hp pavillion dv5-2132dx    laptop
    windows 7 64 bit
    i have had a few weird occurences and im not sure what caused it. abruptly my speakers would stop working & my battery life would start reducing. that happened i think 3 times over the course of several months. this last time which was the 3rd is when i changed electrical outlets thinking that maybe that was the problem. and the power & speakers immediately went back to normal. its only been a few days since i changed outlets & everything is working as it should be however as mentioned the battery icon on the taskbar says that its plugged in but not charging & it remains at 99% for the last 2 days.

    Hi,
    First of all, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.
    Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here.  When the uninstall is complete, shut the notebook down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery and then start the notebook on just the battery.  Windows will automatically reinstall the driver - leave Windows running for a few minutes. Shut down the notebook again.  Now plug in the AC Adapter ( with the battery still inserted ) and start the notebook to see if this has helped the charging issue at all.

    Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections. If it still won't start, remove the battery and start with just the AC power. Next try without the AC power and just the battery.

  • New battery will not charge

    Had Genius Bar install a new battery as the old one was not charging. New Apple installed battery will not charge either. Light on T-connector always shows green even after SMC reset and battery will not charge. Any ideas?

    Bring it back to Apple, they may have not seated the cable/connector correctly, or the cableconnector has an issue, or there is a problem with the charging circuit. Bring in your power adaoter with you as well. Apple repairs come with 30 day warranty

  • New ipod touch will not charge with car stereo anymore

    I recently got an iPod Touch and when I plug it in to my car stereo it says that "charging is not supported with this accessory". I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that the new IPT do not charge with firewire.
    I'm having the same problem with a USB 2.0 extension cord I bought. this one I don't understand because it is supposed to be USB and not firewire. I've tried plugging that in to the wall with a usb wall charger but I get the same thing, so it's not an issue of there not being enough power.
    As far as my car is concerned, the cable has a regular ipod connection. I look up firewire to USB converters but they all have a female firewire (small odd shaped holes) connection, so I couldn't plug my cable in to it. Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to fix this situation so that my ipod will charge while it is plugged in?

    You have identified a problem that has been around since the iPod touch came out (also effects the latest generation nanos). Go to your local big box store and by yourself a new charger that is compatible with the touch.
