Default Help: BB 9000 LED red lights but doesnt turn on at all

Hi guys.

I got a blackberry 9000 that i loved for years and my girlfriend decided to put the password wrong 10 times and the phone was resetting and while resetting, she pulled out the battery. I'm assuming the Blackberry was nuked but I tried to connect it to the PC and the PC doesn't recognize the phone at all.

I connect it to the charger, the red LED is constantly on but the screen never turns on at all!

Any solutions. Thank you
Faris M.

Yep, sounds like it's nuked. You can try reinstalling the OS. This is covered in the Blackberry 101 Section in Help at the top of the forum.
