    i can fix this! its caused by dust with in the phone. Take out the battery and make sure to wipe out the dust with a dry cloth. Make sure to get any dust off from the sim card because that is possibly the root of the problem

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.

Black berry pearl

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.
