    Does anyone know the different meanings of the red blinking lights.

    I have a phone that blinks 3 times when battery is inserted. Does anyone know what that means vs the regular 1 blinking light.

    Some say it is OS dependent.

    In general Blackberries blink the red light on power up.

    Sometimes it means other things. Here are some reference documents:

    KB35635-BlackBerry 10 smartphone fails to boot and displays LED blink sequence
    KB33480-BlackBerry 10 smartphone does not startup and displays either a phone with a USB icon or an error with a link to www.bberror.com after an interrupted security wipe

    Can you tell us where that info was sourced from?

    It does not look like it is similiar to any of the documents I posted links to earlier.

    OK that's cool but why the secrecy about the source?

    No secrecy, I just did some research and digging in and found the answer to my question. I asked other members on other forums as well and this is the answer I got so I thought I'd share it with you guys on here if you ever needed it.

    And now I see why you were not discussing the source.

    That list has been around since at least 2009 though - not sure it applies to BB10 any more.

    Yea I was more curious about OS7 devices. But that list was the answer to my original question which no one on here seemed to have.
