Mine does start without battery when plugged to PC, I get the long red light as if it were to boot up, and then either the red flashing light sequence or BlackBerry logo!
Yes I'm downloading 10.2.2 as suggested04-27-15 03:15 PMLike 0 - I suspect it will just show the battery symbol with a slash through it. I'll check after I get home.04-27-15 03:16 PMLike 0
- When plugged into the PlayBook charger, without a battery in place, first I get a red light on for 15 seconds or so, then the BlackBerry white script and logo and finally a red battery symbol with a slash through it.
This is on 10.3.1.XXXX
Plugging into PC to follow
EDIT*** Same results ('ish) with data cable on a PC.

Posted via CB1004-28-15 04:43 AMLike 0 - Sooo... after 48 hours of unsuccesful tries of reviving the device by flashing/reloading the OS, I came to the conclusion that it's hardware damage -I actually knew that the first day but I wasjust hiopping that maybe It could be fixed with the software- and I've looking at the red blinking light, the bliking sequence (101111) is a "morse" code that means the flash memory is not working and needs replacement.
The red square shown in the picture below is the device flash memory, it's a Samsung NAND KLMAG2GE4A-A001 16 GB
I found one in Aliexpress for around 20� and planning on giving it a try, but before that I wanted to as if you guys reckon it would be easy to replace? I can't tell if it's glued or solded or scrwed -as in with screws - to the motheboard (??)
the z10 is apparently easy to disassamble, and I've already opened my previous blackberries many times to fix things...
so what do you guys reckon?04-28-15 05:58 AMLike 0 - Most of the components are soldered onto the mainboard.
If you have the proper equipment , then it's no problem.
Otherwise getting another device would be the easier choice !
I would suggest you open up your device and get a feel for the components.
( Those things are really tiny ! )04-28-15 06:41 AMLike 0 - I reckon you don't have the proper equipment to replace it. There are companies who have to equipment to replace a BGA component- plus there's no guarantee something else didn't get taken out in the process or if that's even what's the matter with it.
Time to walk away I suspect.

When I plug the device to the computer, and:
1. BlackBerry logo comes in after the red light, there's the sound of a plugged device and shortly after a sound of unplugging. Neither BBLink nor BB Device Manager can see the phone
2. The screen is black and the light is flashing, both BBLink and Device Manager show the device as connected
I uninstalled the whole blackberry software suite and drivers and restarted the computer, plugged the phone to the PC and windows failed to install drivers. I installed blackberry software suite and the drivers and windows device manager now recognizes the phone
When I try to reload the software through BBLink, it recognizes the device but doesn't seem to be doing anything, and when I try to shut it down it says that it's loading software and it can stay like this for a whole night and nothing happens (I tried)
SIC Wipe gets stuck after asking for password, and if I put quickly it starts loading RAM image and a while after it says connection lost
the same thing happens with autoloader.
I changed USB cable and USB port and still stuck, I can't use a different PC right because I don't have one, and my friend is out of town till monday.Last edited by zefreaky; 05-07-15 at 02:26 PM. Reason: typo

Posted via CB1005-07-15 03:54 PMLike 0 - Great detail man. You're getting warm. You see that part, right there where windows failed to install drivers. That's what's messing you up. I hope you're doing all of this with the battery out. When you see that driver fail to install, you should just try holding down the power to power off the phone then press power again for it to power up? If the computer or Internet connection is too slow the driver installation might be timing out or not completing before the next reboot cycle. In that case you could try turning off the phone with the battery inside, plugging it in, then pressing the power button to turn it on while the battery is inserted. I'm only suggesting you put the battery in at this time in order to give the computer enough time to search, download and install the driver from Windows Update while it attempts to load up the OS. It may or may not work but you can try. I think you would get better success using a different computer but you can still keep trying. Good Internet connection is essential since the Window of time for the driver to install is slim. Once installed it should work.

well at least you're having a replacement device, I bought mine over eBay (because we got the Z10 really late here in Spain and only in black!!) and it's out of warranty.05-09-15 06:20 AMLike 0 -
And another thing I figured out this last 2 days, is that there might be a problem when trying to access bootrom, let me explain:
Normally if I put the battery on o plug the device to PC via USB without any bb software running, i get the long red light -the one that lasts around 10 seconds give or take- before the red flashing sequence or BlackBerry logo (I don't know why sometimes it's one and sometimes it's the other).
Now if I open SIC wipe or an autoloader and plug the device in, after 2 or 3 seconds they ask for the device password and at that moment the long red light stops immediatly and shortly after the blinking sequence starts. The same thing happpens when i try to reload the software through BBlink or BlackBerry website, the only difference is that BBlink keeps showing the device as connected.
and I don't know if I mentionned this before, but the z10 can not be turned off! i mean if I have the battery on, it starts and then I get the red blinking lights and pressing and holding the power button only restarts the device it donesn't shut it, the same happens when plugged via USB. So basically i can't turn off the device.cog921 likes this.05-09-15 06:36 AMLike 1 - I found out that when Windows is trying to instal the drivers for the device, and takes a long time doing so, if I press and hold the power up button till the device restarts it gives it a boost and it successfully intall the drivers.

I have my Z30 though and I thought it would be a seamless adjustment but it seems like i have to use a lot of pressure on the glass for gestures compared to the Z10.
Also try tweeting @blackberryhelp if you didn't read the thread I posted. They are aware of these issues and trying to figure out why everyone's is more or less having these issues at the same time.05-09-15 03:48 PMLike 0 -
I took it to a repair shop near where I live -Marbella, Spain- and the look on the guy's face was priceless when I handed him the phone!! He didn't even know what phone it was, he said he would give it a try but I didn't trust him, I mean how can you repair a device you didn't even know it existed!!??
And I'm really reconcidering the idea of getting a Passport or even another blackberry after this sudden death.05-09-15 05:17 PMLike 0 - For me, my biggest decision factor with the Z10 was whether I wanted a phone that was "fun" or "functional". I was transitioning from a BB Curve 8530 that was on it's last legs. I really loved that phone because I didn't have an ipad at the time or any other tablet, and I had turned it into a mini computer. I was on vacation with my family during a summer class, and I actually was able to write many simple essays on docs to go. I did a lot of other cool things with that phone, though it got more difficult to do much of anything once it was at the end of it's life. I didn't want an iphone because i was not a fan of the interface and not being able to see what was open and what wasn't, and i had some issues with other apple products before that (macbook pro, ipod touch...4g? 3g? i can't remember). I just liked the way the hub was organized and the potential that it had to be a great device so that's why I chose it. Just before it died I had actually started figuring out how to work android apps on it, and it was a good balance between the simple things i did on social media and my school life (i'm a healthcare student), and i had figured out ways to cheat and do things to avoid proprietary issues with the other big phones and their share of the mobile universe. To me this interface was really intuitive so I stuck with the Z30.
I believe there are some repair shops in the UK that are good with blackberries. Look into those?05-09-15 05:46 PMLike 0 - So...BlackBerryHelp replied to my tweet, a useless reply in my opinion 'cause the link they gave me is not for the problem I'm having. see for your selfs.
