Please help!!! Blackberry flip 3G 8230 will not turn on

[LaceyR-help please]

Ok my blackberry was working fine and then one day it just died! It will not turn on I tried charging it switching batteries. It won't even connect to a computer is there anything i can do besides getting a new phone because i would like to get my contacts off it. I don't think it has a sim card and if it does where is it. It is fustrating!! I only had it a few months, If there is anyone who can help me i would really appreciate it The red light was blinking every now and then but now it won't even do that!
thanks

The Flip 3G does not have a SIM card. You can try to get your contacts off it by connecting to Desktop Manager on your PC via the USB cable and doing a backup, for later restore on a replacement BB. I think this will work even with the battery removed.

If the battery went completely dead, you may need to put it on the wall charger overnight before you're able to turn the phone on.
