How do I Recover a Dead BlackBerry? - Page 101

so even though it has like a pretty nasty scratch on one side, and some small ones on the other, they won't care? i'm just worried that the manufacturers will just say it was prob my fault when i can just get the same thing for 90 bucks as opposed to 364. i just can't afford to pay nearly 400 bucks for a refurb phone is all.

and when i took it into verizon today, they said that it "should be" fine for me to not be charged but they can't guarantee it since bb would be the ones making the call or something. sorry about the 2 posts. thanks for the input

...Because its not and you are confusing my post with the person who posted after me. As it turned out it was the battery that was causing the frequent crashes and failed reboots. Strange that when I looked up my particular issues all I could find were references to a corrupted OS. Now though I still need to get my browser back, any ideas?

Do you have desktop manager installed on your computer? If not you will never be able to locate that directory because it just isn't there.

Basically the command "cd" stands for "change directory" directories are represented as folders on your computer these days. I could explain how you could accomplish the same thing without using command prompt at all, but if your not locating the directory in command prompt the most likely reason is it doesn't exist.

Good afternoon,

I've recently had a 9780 go down with the white screen (still getting sounds behind it)

Tried reinstalling:

6.0.0_rel863
6.0.0_rel1879

But no luck, same white screen. Tried with battery out the program won't reconnect to JVM.

Tried JL_cmder wipe + reinstall, no luck.

Taking a screenshot with JL_cmder reveals that everything is working honky dory behind the scenes, just nothing to show!

Any clues? Physical fault?

You either skipped past the directories "Program Files" and "Common Files", or have not installed an OS for your phone on ypur PC.

I'm guessing you do have the hotspot browser, which means you're missing your browser service book. Open Host Routing Table in Options, hit the menu button, click Register Now, then open the Personal Email Setup Wizard, and request your service books from there also. Once you've received all the emails, and the data arrows have ceased for at least a minute, do a battery pull and check again.

Must be a LED screen failure. If it's still under warranty, get the phone replaced, otherwise, try this:

Hi I have a bold 9000 and all of a sudden it stopped working. I plug it into my computer and the red led light comes on for a minute or two then the battery icon with a red x comes on the screen. I pulled the battery and put it into a friends and it is fully charged. My battery doesn't work and neither does my friends. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Could be a bad port too, but most likely something on the board failed. You can try leaving the battery and SIM out for a couple days, then put the battery back in and see what happens.

Try cleaning the battery contacts on the phone, gently, with an eraser. Otherwise, try what I suggested above.

I can't even get it to connect to my pc. I cleaned the contacts but not getting any results.
