Hello all, my faithful friend The Passport, has died.
I took the phone out of my pocket and it froze and restarted, showing the Blackberry logo (words) in white on a black screen. I couldn't do much other than let it use its battery up and look at it today.
I have been unable to reset it:
- Holding power and volume keys
- Loading latest Autoloader (plugging in at last minute and starting connected, it still fails)
- Reloading in BB Link
- Attempting SIC Multiwipe
With the Autoloader and SIC Multiwipe, it can connect but can not complete because the phone is constantly connecting/disconnecting from the computer. I know it is connecting/disconnecting because Windows makes the connect and disconnect noises and the Autoloader/SIC Multiwipe fails when the disconnect noise occurs.
I've tried different cables and computer ports. The computer I am using used to work fine with this phone. I switched SMB 1.0 on temporatily just in case.
Any ideas on how I can fix it? I suspect that it is properly dead but would appreciate any input.
The only thing to add is that the USB port has been warning me for a while now about using a different charger (you know the message) or occasionally failed to charge. I wonder if it is worth having a new USB port installed and trying again.
If I leave it
