Wont turn on out of storage

[GSFWR]

We pulled out my girlfriends old bold 9000 that has been in storage for a while. It worked when it went in. Now we plugged it in. Took a few min and then the screen showed white with a battery with the charging bolt through it (same as her pearl flip we powered up to) After a while the red light came on for a min or two then nothing (the pearl started up after that) So not sure what the issue is. Tryed putting the charger back in and out a couple times and nothing.(just the same thing, red light comes on for almost a min then nothing) Left it charging over night and nothing. My next step is to plug it in to my computer. Any ideas?

Update

Ok so i finally 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 on a nuked BB but after you select the connection to BB pin and where you are suppose to select the OS to load (using aplication loader) it wont let me continue, it just says desktop software does not have software for that device. So im not sure what i should do or try next. Any help would be appreciated.

Download the latest os from the thread at the top of this forum. Then try the steps for a nuked BlackBerry.

Don't forget to delete the vendor files and then use the aploader /nojvm command line program to reload the os. If it can't find the OS, you missed a vendor file.
