    I really love this phone and it has worked great since getting it from Tmobile on the 26th. Last night before bed phone was fine, no issues. Woke up this morning and it was dead; could not turn it on. Took the battery out for 2 minutes and tried to recharge but nothing. I thought maybe the charger was defective, so I tried it on another device and it worked fine. I have no idea what happened. I'm stuck at work now, but will take it to Tmobile later today. Anyone else have this issue? I've read in previous post that folks with 100-3 devices (I have the same model) have had reboot issues but not this.

    Thanks for your help.

    Can't help but say have TMo give you a new one. Maybe you got a bad phone.

    Use BlackBerry Link to reload the OS while the battery is out. Happened to me on my BlackBerry OS7 phone and I believe the same solution can be applied to the BlackBerry OS10 phones.

    This happened on my PlayBook a few times when I let the battery completely drain. It will need to charge for quite a while, maybe ten minutes, and then you should be able to start it up. Might take two attempts before it fully loads up.

    So took the phone to a tmobile store and the phone is completely dead. Tried a new battery, which didn't work. I ended up getting a new phone.

    In any electronic device there are failure rates hence the reason most carriers give you 14 days to handle the situation.

    Glad that the OP got a replacement

    I have had 7 devices that went dead on me in 3 months. I am waiting for my 8th device from tmobile. I do not know what is going on but I have had the same issue after issue with device not powering up. I have tried everything, spoke with BB tech and T mobile tech and their is no solution. I will be upgrading soon and leaving BB alone. I had such high hopes. Disappointed.

    Man. The old Motorola StarTAC phones were built to last. They were the best.

    that phone had the led light in the right location. you could have the phone on your belt and you could see notification colors without grabbing the phone. its hard to believe how such nice feature is gone.

    I am experiencing the same thing today. My Z10 would not turn on or charge. The battery is charged but cannot turn on the device. I see the resolution is to return it to TMo./carrier. Thank you!

    Try the RESET

    Try a restart:

    Press and HOLD both Vol Up/Down buttons. Keep holding while the screen goes fully black (ignore the screenshot), keep holding through the Black/White logo and when the Colored Logo shows up, release those buttons.

    If you have the STL100-1 variant the volume button reset method doesn't work. In that case, Press and HOLD the Power On Button until you see the LOGO as above

    I am about to receive my 5th BBZ10 in seven months. My carrier is Verizon and the phone was part of one of their plans. So these refurbished Z10's they give out are not reliable. The problem I have is that they will not give me a different model, just keep sending another Z10 every month or so. Calling tech or customer support is useless at either BB or Verizon. They point the finger at each other and tell me it not their problem. Service to the customer does not exist at these companies.

    Hi there, I am having the same issue with my Z10 STL100-3. My carrier is Bell, both Bell and the insurance company have no clue what to do but keep sending me refurbished phones. My Z10 wont find any networks or charge the battery. I have since changed to the Passport but would love to use my Z10 as aback up when travelling. Any and all help is needed.

    Find yourself a Z10 battery that's partially charged and swap it with the one that's in the phone currently.
