My work handed me a blackberry today, they said it was serviceable. According to the original owner, the device had no damage whatsoever, he tried upgrading it and it did this. Basically whenever there's a charged battery or a USB connection it will blink a RED LED about four to five times then momentarily repeat flashing. The computer doesn't seem to see it at all. It doesn't seem to come up in device manager even. I'ed tried a few loaders and tricks, nothing appears to be working.
My boss told me "its dead Jim" *were both Startrek fans*
I've noticed with my multi-meter that the unit won't charge when its plugged into the computers USB outlet. The battery is also dead. Could this be a potential cause? I've plugged it into my Apple iPhone charger *lack of a blackberry one" and noticed voltage going to the battery. Hopefully this will improve the situation. I should also note the battery is brand new unit.
