    Hey guys,

    I've had my Z10 for a few months now and am happy to say I haven't had any problems up until this point. A few hours ago I was surfing the internet while I waited for my brothers karate class to end, and all phone hell broke loose. I was on some tech website (I cant remember the name) and my
    phone got REALLY hot, hotter than when your playing a game. I was about to take the battery the battery out when the whole screen turned blue. I tried to exit the app, but nothing responded. I tried to shut it down via the power button, but nothing happened. Then I decide to take the battery out. When I powered it back up, it got to about 40%, and then skipped ahead to my lock screen. It was working normally so I re-opened the browser, as well slacker radio. When I tried to interact with slacker, something horrible happened. It was completely unresponsive, and than colorful lines streaked across the screen. The color began to yellow, and become dark. In a matter of seconds the screen had turned off and nothing was working, just as if the device had turned it self off. I took the battery out a second time (it would not power up), and the device wouldn't power back on, not even the little red LED. I retried this a few times until it turned back on. I opened up bb hub and the same exact thing happened, except this time, no matter how many times I tried it would not power back up.

    When I got home I plugged the phone in and nothing happened, not even the LED. When I took the battery out though, and plugged it in the LED powered on, but not the phone. This happened every time, but never when I had the battery inserted. This leads me to believe that this is a battery issue, but I still can't explain what happened or why.

    I have warranty but I REALLY don't want my phone replaced with some refurbished POS, I want the BB I fell in love with the day I bought it.

    If any one has any suggestions or could help shine some light on this issue I would really appreciate it!!

    THANKS!!!!

    Okay. I'd try saying that you should plug it into your laptop and do your restore. Try that

    I plugged it into my desktop and nothing happened (no LED like I said before), but if I take the battery out he LED lights up, but the computer acts as if nothing was even connected no matter what I do.

    Not really an option, but I do have warranty with my carrier. As I said before though I'm using that as my last resort because I don't want my phone replaced (especially with a refurbished device). I want to at least figure out what happened as well so this never happens again.

    Could you give us the exact website link that caused this problem? I want to replicate it and see whether or not it's an isolated incident. If it's not then your brother's karate class is to blame. Maybe file a lawsuit? Anyway please tell me the link. Thanks.

    @Bobert_123 - I have an idea (nuts) but it's worth a shot; Connect your phone to your PC directly (battery out for this - shouldn't matter) and then try and debrick the phone using one of the AutoLoader leaks here in the forums. This might work as the autoloader works differently than Link and the other websites;

    EDIT: I have added a link for a good place to start; an Autoloader that many people seem to like: http://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-le...hybrid-820430/

    If this method doesn't work (it's the most primitive connection possible that I know of) then you're quite possibly hooped. Also - if at all possible - try and source a different battery if you can and see if you get any further ahead. It is unlikely but worth a second shot if you have the time/availability.

    Sorry to hear about this. Please specify your model so we can point you in the right direction for an autoloader to try and debrick your phone.

    Hi guys,

    thanks so much for all these responses! I'm going to pay for a new battery on amazon and see if that works before I try reloading the OS or auto loading because I don't want to lose any data on my phone if it's not necessary. If all that fails I'm probably goanna have to use the warranty.

    Ill keep this thread updated.

    Thanks so much!

    Do u have an autoloader to use and ready to go. If u so. Start the autoloader. With link turned off and closed. Then plug ur phone in. And insert the battery back. And wait. The autoloader will revive it. And load a new os. If it doesn't then one of 2 things have happened. Ur phone is dead. Cpu fired. Or ur computer usb outlet isn't reading the usb properly.

    Rashawnbb2, turn phone off, use 7zip to start leak, wait until you see black screen that says "bootloader" as the last word. Do not turn phone on, plug it in...
