Doesn't turn on, Red LED light stays lit

Blackberry doesnt turn on and red light on when connected to charger My blackberry froze on me. I turned it off and when I went to turn it back on all I got was a black screen, but the red led light stays lit. It is not the battery because I have a spare battery and it is doing the same thing when I put that battery in.

Try restoring the blackberry using the blackberry firmware update utility, if the problem persists, it's a logic board issue. there are blackberry repair websites that show you how to do the replacement yourself, otherwise here is a service that can repair any Blackberry Bold, Storm, Pearl, Curve, 8800 for screen, lenses,
track balls, usb ports, waterdamage etc.
The website is: Blackberry Repair

You need to reflash you OS on to the phone...

you can connect the phone using the usb cable to the laptop/pc/mac that you are using then open your desktop manager (blackberry).....open apploader then click on software update and upload the OS back to the phone this should work...it has for every phone i fix that just have a red led blinking...also if the DM does not see your PIN, remove the battery from the phone then connect it again you should see BB PIN:UNKNOWN just click next and you should be good to go.

When charging my light stays red does that mean its charging

Some chargers have 2 LEDs (lights), some have one. Both chargers have an LED that is red (or orange) when the charger is charging a battery and turns green when the battery is charged and the charger has dropped back to trickle charge mode or off.
On the charger with two LEDs , the extra LED is normally red to indicate the mains power is connected.

Should the red light on my 15.6v dustbuster turn green when it's fully charged? It doesn't.

I had the same issue, then i just found the manual, in charging part, it says:"The charging indicator will be lit as long as the
appliance is connected to the plugged-in
charger."
Also it says:"While charging, the charger may get warm, this is
perfectly normal and safe. It can remain on
charge indefinitely without damage or danger. It
is not possible to "overcharge" the battery cells
with the charger provided"

My blackberry torch isnt turning on. when i remover my batterry then put it back, the led light becomes red for like 3sec then nothng and the screen stay black! what can i do?? my blackberry is only 2...

Good Day, Try this first and let me know what happens later. Use something like a needle to scratch the terminals of the battery and put your ****** to the terminals to make it a little wet. Then put the battery back inside the phone without connecting the charger to the phone. Then after the red light comes on, connect the charger. Please don't hesitate to let me know what happens later. Thanks for using Fixya!

Silver Sylvania smp2012 2gb what kind of charger do I need for this mp3 player

No separate charger is required. Use a USB cable to connect it to any computer (desktop or portable), or to any powered USB hub. It should charge in about 5-20 minutes. While charging, both the red and green LEDs are lit. When fully charged, the green LED turns off and only the red LED is on.

This device should also be possible to charge using a stand-alone USB power source, such as those used to charge Blackberries.

Battery #1 terminal lights red and stays red.

Disconnect the - lead from that battery, Repower the charger. The LED should be green. If it stays RED, charger defective.
Reconnect the - lead to the battery, measure voltage when charger is on. Should be between 11.5 and 13 volts. If OK, replace the battery. If lower than 11.5, check for charger cable connections OR for a connected load ( power drawing ) of more than 10 amps.

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.
