    hi my device started with continues loading and the battery could last for half a day even when not in use then i have installed the latest OS seemed like it fixed the problem and after a month wizzy screen started to appear and then after couple of days the screen turned black and the device is on, cause my alarm goes off, the black screen started gradually, at first when it turned black i use to press the lock/unlock button and the the screen was back on, after couple of days of that the screen turned black completely, it sometimes works when i take the battery off and put it back on but not always, i have factory set my device update it to latest OS, seems like BB knew what they were doing make a device that can last only for 3 years and after the warranty is finished it becomes useless to the user. this is a major problem that as far as i know there is no fix for it and its not only for my device, its a problem on various devices, so disappointing that i didnt even drop my phone once, if it was a hardware problem which probably is. anyways my advice is NEVER BUY A BLACKBERRY, u will get robbed in modern style

    Three years with a slider phone is pretty good considering they are more prone to have display problems because of the mechanics of the slider mechanism. No phone will last forever, and a slider will definitely last less than a none slider phone, so either repair it or get a new phone.

    I use my 9810 from time to time just because! Bought it in 2010. Still goin strong! Get a a new phone.

    The people in the forum will help you if you have an issue you WANT solved. You'll get the same reaction if you slam iPhones in their forums or Androids in their's etc...

    If you want help ask for it. If not, keep it moving. It seems as though you posted just to be mean spirited.

    It is a hardware issue though.

    OP, what's the weather like in Cupertino tonight? Just curious.

    Strange that your broken BlackBerry (who knows what you did to it to make it broken) still works better than you can write a sentence.

    All the black screen issues I Googled so far all turned out to be caused by display/hardware issue. As the display on the Torch has a moving ribbon cable to connect the main PCB to the display it is hardly surprising that after usage over time this cable will wear and not function correctly. This will affect the phone whether the slider is closed or open. Other phone operations may be unaffected by the lack of display, so a repair or replacement phone is the only option. This is not a BlackBerry fault, but a limitation of the design of a slider phone.

    Well i think reality s**KS, were do u want me to go and say BB they got issues with black screen in apple or android forums?? this is were u as a Z10 user will go and check if Z10 got a black screen problem too, which it does, according to my research, just because your phone is working fine today it dosent means its gonna work fine next week, its not being rude, i just cant come here and say OMG my phone gone black screen and someone replies did u check ur battery or did u update ur phone or whats ur OS. its the reality of the situation u can have a phone which a screen can go black for no reason anytime.

    I'm not trying to rip you. It's not so much, what you say but the presentation. That's true throughout your life, in almost any situation.

    Motorola, Nokia then BlackBerry because I tend to business with my device. I don't love my BlackBerry. I just like efficiency. It just so happens that BlackBerry dies it for me.
