Blackberry 8900 - Steady Red Light, won't switch ON

Got the phone 2 weeks ago, was working fine until last night. Switched it off - to charge. This morning tried switching it back on but to no avail. Removed the battery, then replaced it after an hour and still nothing. Steady red light when tried charging again (thinking that it's not fully charged).
Any / all feedback welcome...

SOURCE: battery dies fast!

well only the people that doesnt have internet or anything like that, you might need to do this.
1) go to Options.
2) go to Mobile Network
3) then where it says Data Services, it have to be turned off.
That happened to my phone and now is normal like before.

SOURCE: blackberry bold suddenly shut down

Lots of battery issues with the Bold. Try taking the battery out, keeping it out and connecting to PC with USB. Do any lights come on? Red light should appear. Put battery in while connected to USB.

Another fix that I found for a friend-leave the battery out of the unit for a day-put it in and plug in power cord or USB. It worked.

SOURCE: Blackberry 8900 wont turn on

If you did a hard reset and tried a firmware restore then you most likely have a logic board issue. If your carrier doesn't help you or your're out of warranty you can try to replace the logic board yourself with a blackberry bold repair guide.

SOURCE: Blackberry Curve has a battery icon w/ red line through it

Try removing the battery for about 20 seconds and then put it back in and restart the phone. This is a form of a hard reset but it will not erase anything.

Blackberry curve 8900, red light will come on for eight seconds when connected to AC power then a battery with a blue lightning bolt will show up on screen. Once AC is removed device goes blank. I've put...

The battery is drain.

DO NOT use the USB cable to charge your Blackberry.

When the PC/Laptop/Mac go to power saving/SLEEP mode it will cut off the charge to the Blackberry.

Use the official AC charger to charge the Blackberry.

Make sure the AC power is not switch off to the power pack at night.

The mini USB connector can be loosen over time.

Plug in the cable and check for connectivity.

Blackberry 8900 red light on but doens't work

Take it to a cell phone place and let them try a new battery.. My wife was talking on hers in a light drizzle, it shorted everything out one tiny tiny drop. The red light came on, never to work again, once the screen shorts out for a split second it is dead.If the battery shows red x's on the bottom or behind the battery you find a red x you can be sure the screen is shorted out.
