Default Any possible way to access internal storage on dead 8900?

My Curve 8900 will not turn on regardless, all it does is flash the red light 4 times until the battery runs out. I am not worried about the phone itself really but the data (contacts, pictures, etc.) that is on it.. I need to find a way, any way to retrieve the data that I stupidly procrastinated in it backing up when the phone was in working condition.
thank you

Welcome to CrackBerry!

Wish I knew some magically way, but I'm not aware of any technique to access info, if it won't boot up.

Unfortunatley, your media card is configured for access to that device and can not simply be removed and inserted into a working device and then backed up to PC by BB Desktop Software. There are data recovery tools - Software and hardware avaialble however very pricey so evaluate the value of the data before embarking on consulting a Data Recovery Shop. And most of all, make a lesson learned to always use the Backup App on the BB Desktop Software to save and protect your valuable data.
