Just hook it up to your computer using the usb and open your desktop manager and it will read your blackberry and it will restore it

Well this might sound stupid but... You have Taken out the battery but you should not have see all phones have power even when off thats the only way to store data without a sd card.
So what you did was take out the battery at a bad time , Thus killing all the power in the phone.
Solution - Take your battery and try to find someone you know with the same phone put your battery in there phone charge it and then put it back in yours.

Blackberry pearl won't turn on

There are no special ways of turning on the Blackberry.

Simply power on - it is fully charged - if this doesn't work, remove the battery for a couple of seconds and re-try power on.

It might be a hardware issue now. Dropping the device might have caused physical damage. I recommend getting the device replaced by your insurance if you have it.

My blackberry pearl 8100 wont turn on

I have an answer for the 3-2 red light blink w/black screen. Remove the battery, hold the end call button and put the battery back in. The red light should stay on for a while now. Push and hold the call button and alternate with the end call button untill the hourglass shows. Allow some time to boot up. I stumbled upon this, so if this doesnt work, try simmilar procedrues. I did get mine to work. Good Luck, dont give up, it flashes that 3-2 code for a reason.
