Help Bold won't Turn On

reyazyahya · Thread Author #1 10-03-2008, 12:12 AM

hey all,

i've had my bold for a week now, been keeping good care of it, no falls, no scratches everything is fine..

Tonight, I took the battery out of the phone without turning it off first.. to get the sim card out, and now it refuses to turn on..

i have taken the battery out, and put it back in and tried turning it on it doesnt budge..

i have also tried charging it, but nothing is happening!!! its been doing it for about 30 minutes

Help Please!

hmmm, doesn't sound like you can do anything about that, my recommendation carry it back to your carrier and replace it.

What happens if you connect it to your PC? does DM recognise it?

Sarcasm Detector · #6 10-03-2008, 02:22 AM

try the following:

pull the battery
plug in the desktop charger (make sure DM is shut down)

the led should light up red. if yes then put the battery back in and let is sit for 10 mins before turning it back on.

Hi there,
I have the same exact problem. After doing a hard reset, put the battery back in, but now it doesnt do anything. Just dead. Not even a red LED light. Tries using the application loader to reload the OS, but it wasnt detected by the computer. HEELLP....I'm so stressed out now. SHould I just do what Reza did, leave out the battery all night long? I'm crossing my fingers this will work.

I had a similar experience when I first got my bold. Turned out that the battery was completely drained. To the point that plugging in the charger for a min or two didn't charge it up enough to flick on.

I had to leave it charge for 5 or so mins before it came back on.

Turned out that the problem was a non BB charger was being used (my old HTC charger)...

Same thing just happened to mine as well. Plugged it directly into the computer via the usb link and the light is red. Is been sitting for about 10 min but still won't turn on. Not happy.
