I think the reset button is under the battery cover - You may need a paperclip to reset.

Before you do the hard reset have you tried a soft reset - ALT+RIGHT SHIFT(CAP)+DELETE keys

Blackberry screen is black since being dropped, its on loud so i can hear it ringing and receiving messages, also the keypad and led flashes and lights up, is it broken or is there anyway fixable?

Well, I personally think BlackBerry\'s are quite bad, but where all different so... You can\'t really fix the screen yourself because your screen\'s dead(broken.) So take it to be repaired at a shop.

Sorry I couln\'t help!

My blackberry pearl 8100 wont turn on. The screen is black and the red light blinks 4 times and then stops!

Your Blackberry probably just needs a firmware restore. Here's a guide on how to restore the blackberry firmware, the website is at : Restore Blackberry to factory settings. Download the Blackberry Desktop manager and run the application loader. If it asks you for a password, you can enter it 10x wrong and that will wipe the blackberry as well.

I cant do anything with it the screen is just black nothing on it but the backlight is on behind the black screen i cant do anything on it i cant even call i have to voice dial.

Usually problem with the LCD backlight. Try to get it replaced under warranty with your provider. Out of warranty? = You can get the screen replaced at Blackberry repair or try to repair it yourself for free or have a friend do it using Blackberry Repair Guide. The part is available on ebay.

My blackberry bold screen is black with a red light on

no. make sure you have the USB charger driver for your computer. you should be able to download this at blackberry.com for free. your blackberry likely just doesn't realize that it's plugged in and won't charge via USB without that driver.
