I woke up yesterday morning and my berry would not respond. all i have is a blinking red indicator light. i tried a different battery, no change. i tried the power plug without the battery, no change. i even ran the "how to fix a bricked berry 101" but when i plug it into the computer, nothing happens. the app loader does not even see the berry.
i am at the end of my knowledge, so i turn to you good people. does anyone have any suggestions, or is my berry DOA?.

JL Commander, to wipe your BB clean and start from a clean slate:

if my berry is not seen by the computer, how will this work?

Try this procedure:

BlackBerry 101: How to Reload the Operating System on a Nuked BlackBerry | CrackBerry.com

You might have to take the battery out, as in step #2 (Tip section) to get your BB recognized.

i followed those directions yesterday. tried it about 15 or 20 times, the berry was never seen by the loader program.

Did you take the battery out?

[theshadow62]

yes, still didn't help.

You might have to explore other options like looking for a used Curve, or call AT&T and ask if you can upgrade early to another device or get a discount on a replacement device.

i think that is what i have reluctantly decided to do. i am eligible for an upgrade, but i was hoping to wait for the new storm 2 with at&t.
anyway, thanks for the help, you guys are great.
