Blackberry 9000 wont turn on! Red light only!

**EY4Z** · 05-01-2012, 09:43 AM

I tried to connect the Bold to my pc. But it just sits there with a red light on solid. It wont even connect to desktop manager. It just prompts me to retry or update. So i tried to update but when it got to jvm error ir wont continue. Now i also have tried to follow the steps posted on crackberry for reloading the OS but nothing is working...

Any ideas?

wipe your blackberry (via BB Boss or CrackMem) and reload latest 'official' OS for the 9000

This happened to me recently. turned out to be a dead battery
so I got a new battery and problem solved

I tried this "remove small battery" fix and initially it didn't work with my device. That's when I noticed that the housing screws on my device are loose. Took just a bit of tightening and viola - my device is working again!

So, you may want to check if you have any loose screws (on your device, I mean! ), just as I had some (on my device, I mean!). Hopefully a T4 (or T5) screwdriver is all you need to make it work in conjunction with the 'small' battery fix.

Leave some feedback after trying to tighten those screws, please.
