Default Solution to your Steady Red Light

Hi,

1). I have a 9650 bold, 7 months old. I leave it on constantly, even when charging.

2). Prior to the event of the STEADY RED LIGHT (which stays on for about 30 seconds, followed by the charging symbol, then shutting off).

3). I left the phone on the table and forgot to plug it into the charger, I found the phone completely dead.

4). I said Oh ****!, So, I plugged the phone into the charger and then came back (30 minutes later), no light no nothing, I replug the charger the same steady red light came back. I went to the google search, came back and then removed the battery to reset the phone, I waited 3 minutes, I then placed the battery back in, the RED LIGHT PERSISTED. I did this step about 3 times. Then I said what a load of steamy hot dodo, that blogger should be shot!

5). I took the phone to the Verizon Communication Wireless Phone Center, The tech, did the same thing (step 4, OMG! I though he was the moron that blogged the reset) . The STEADY RED LIGHT PERSISTED FORM. I told him that I think I need a new battery, he agreed. Amazing, not in a good way.

THE SOLUTION: YOU NEED A NEW BATTERY.

VERIZON COMMUNICATION CENTER.....ALTHOUGH THEY DO NOT ADMIT IT, THE BATTERY IS WARRANTIED FOR ONE YEAR. AFTER I BROUGHT UP THE FACT OF WARRANTY, THE TECH SAID OH YAH!?!?, "THE BATTERY HAS A 1 YEAR WARRANTY". IF I DIDN'T SAY IT. THEY WOULDN'T HAVE MENTION IT Greedy and NOT


I did not have the time for them to try to charge the battery to get a free one, I just bought a new battery. But I think they knew the fact that the battery was shot and that it is a common occurrence, it seemed that they tried all they could while being polite to get me to buy a new battery then waiting for their attempt to save the dead battery, The law of economics, if they have to constantly be giving replacement batteries or selling them at 35 a pop Greedy and NOT

AGAIN THE SOLUTION IS >>>>>>YOU NEED A NEW BATTERY, BUY ONE ON LINE FOR 7.95 <<<<<< THEN GOING TO YOUR PHONE CENTER AND PAYING 25 TO 35 FOR A BATTERY.

On removing the battery and putting it back, the red light comes up normally but instead the red light should go off and the phone to boot, the red light starts blinking like every 3secs and the phnone is not coming up. i have tried removing the battery several times. i have also changed the battery but all to no avail. pls HELP!!!

My bold 9000 is flashing 4 times(1 long flash and 3 quick flashes). It won't turn on @ all. I have no idea what to do. It all started when I eft my bold overnight on the charger. I woke up and it was hot and dead. and it ever came on ever since!
Is it dead?or can it be fixed?

Not sure if anyone can help me with this but here we go, I have a blackberry 9700 and it had a case of water damage. The phone was on 23% when it died without giving any warning. After charging it worked but then went off again:-( leaving it on charge the whole night the most it would do would be for the red led light to come on for roughly 15 seconds then go off and come back on? I took it to a repair place where they repaired my water damage and said it needed a new screen. Allocating a new screen it wouldn't let the software download and now I have the phone back it just goes back to the led coming on and off when on charge. I have tried another battery, yet I don't know what else to do? Someone help:-(
