Hi all

My BB Curve 8900 has a black screen and red flashing light at the top. I 'googled' this and it seems a really common problem, however most people say that when they connect to BB Desktop manager the device isnt recogniced where mine is.

So....... last night I:

Removed the battery, waited, re-inserted the battery and powered on.

Dowloaded OS5 and reinstalled it.

Through BB Desktop manager I deleted all my music, photos, any unnecessary files.

But even afterb all that it still has a black screen and red flashing light. I was wondering if perhaps the LCD screen could be faulty? Or the backlight? Or is it something different.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

And when you do a battery pull make sure the device is on. If it's off and you take out the battery it doesn't do anything.
