It may just be time to get a new phone. I didn't even know that BlackBerry phones were still around.

Hi, The Display (LCD) need to be replaced.

It sounds like you're having problems with your processor. I would take it into a repair shop

I'm afraid the track pad has to be replaced. It goes to full bright from dim screen when you touch it. that's because it sense the touch.but can't sense the direction(scrolling). But, before that, see if a master reset works. Backup everything before that though

Do you wear lots of bling.. could it be that you are interfering with the signal due to wearing rings or bracelets etc...? good luck !

You'll have to take it to the carrier service store to have them reset it

Yes. I used to do that before 3G became popular. The Dial Code depends on the country and carrier. I used *666# Set Up a Dial-up Connection You'll need to set up a dial-up connection on your Windows machine to use the BlackBerry modem. When you installed the BlackBerry Desktop Manager, it should have automatically installed the modem drivers to use with your device, and you should have a modem called "Standard Modem" in the Phone andModem Options section of your Control Panel. The drivers are located in the following folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Modem Drivers. Use the following steps to set up your connection:

1. Connect your BlackBerry to your computer using the standard USB cable that came with your device and start the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software.
2. Go to the Control Panel, then Network Connections, and select Create a New Connection.
3. Select Connect to the Internet, then Set up my connection manually, then Connect using a dial-up modem, and select your BlackBerry modem from the device list.
4. Choose a descriptive name for the ISP Name (e.g., BlackBerry Modem Connection).
5. Enter the phone number for your service provider. You'll probably have to check with your carrier to get the right number. For Cingular and other GSM carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile), it's *99#. For CDMA providers (Sprint, Verizon), the number will be #777.
6. The username and password will vary by carrier as well. Cingular just accepts null values for both fields.
7. Complete the wizard, being sure to deselect the "Make this the default connection" checkbox.

Your Blackberry might have a USB cable to connect to a charger, or USB adapter. for charging. If so, plug that USB cable into the computer, and it should be seen by the computer. Turn the device on so it will be seen. If all you have is a charger cable that goes to a 110 outlet, you'll have to get the required cable. Do a search online for "blackberry to usb cable".

Sounds like you need to go in to your settings to allow you to make calls and texts

If you are trying to get wifi, then you need to go into the settings and tell it to search. Then you need to enter the wifi password etc. If you have data through your carrier, then you need to call customer service to get this rectified.

Hi I always ask for more details in these situations. The first thing you should do is take the battery out and do a soft reset of the phone. Don't do a hard reset it will erase all your data. I always recommend you go to blackberry.com and see if you can download the blackberry desktop. This will save your information. It can be reloaded back on to your blackberry.
