Blank screen red flashing light?

[Middleberry]

This Blackberry is about 6 months new--Suddenly the screen winked off, has stayed black, while the keyboard remains lit and the red light is flashing. My battery was about 95% charged, and it was working perfectly. Have I inadvertantly pushed some button, and if so what? Won't turn off either.

Try a battery pull. Take the battery out for a few seconds, then put it back in.

Mine does that from time-to-time. Battery pull fixes her.

What to do when the battery pull doesn't work. I have a co-worker that's on travel and has the same problem. Any alternatives to the battery pull?

I have the same issue with the blank screen and red light. Be sure you leave the battery out for a minute before putting it back in.

Oddly I can duplicate this issue sometimes when I firmly tap the back of the device (not hard enough that it should damage anything). I think its a hardware issue. It also happens sometime when I lay it down on a table.

Gotta get a replacement, It took Verizon twice to get me one that didn't do the red light/reset thing.

i just had this about 2 days ago, theres nothing you can do about it you must call your carrier and send a replacmetn

[igotag]

Why is this such a common problem?

[caprio23]

Mine did it from the day i first got it last August. I got a replacement from VZW in December and then another one in Febuary and havent had a problem since.
