BlackBerry 8330 Smartphone screen is dark & blink red (4blinks)

My 8330 screen is dark and I'm lit or flashing red signal.  I tried pulling the battery to reset and does not help.  Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thank you

If your BlackBerry is still under tension turned off with a black screen, follow the instructions below. The only indication of life may be the flashing red indicator light in the upper corner. Nothing seems to wake and Desktop Manager does not recognize that a device is connected.

(1) make sure that you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/services/desktop/
(2) on your PC, go to start > run and copy and paste the following line exactly (i.e. with quotation marks):

'c:\program files\common research in motion\apploader\loader.exe' /nojvm

(3) the Application Loader Wizard will appear - click on "next".
(4) in the ' connection: ' drop-down menu, you should see "USB - PIN: UNKNOWN". Click on the button "next".
(5) you should see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Press Next and finish, and that you are well on your way to get your Blackberry to life. Just unplug and let the process finish completely.

NOTE: If you do not display the list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead to see the message "the Blackberry Desktop Software has no Blackberry Device Software for the device you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator', then you must download the Blackberry operating system for your support and your device.
http://www.BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
Just select the appropriate type of carrier and network, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the steps above again and you should be on the right track.

    Please advise me

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

    I would say to do a reload own the BlackBerry® device software, as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320, please test before you restore all data on the device.

    If this resolves the problem do a selective restore of critical data (address book, calendar, tasks, notes, BBM, contacts etc.).

  • BlackBerry 8330 smartphones used to synchronize with Outlook

    When hang on my Curve 8330 to my cell phone synchronization does not work. I get no error messages either.  I don't have this problem until I installed Blackberry theme Builder.  I had to uninstall the Desktop Manager so that the theme generator complete installation.  NOT worth to install, incidentally.  Generator theme uninstalled, reinstalled Desktop Manager, uninstalled, reinstalled, etc..  No chance it to synchronize.  Verizon could not solve the problem either, by sending me a new device.  Don't know if it's a problem of device or a laptop.

    Desktop Manager version 5.0.1

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Okie dokie... now try these:

  • BlackBerry 8330 smartphones crashes!

    Model Curve 8330

    OS 4.5 updates all were updated

    I don't know the file size, memory.etc because I can't activate it.

    Battery pull didn't work not many tries - when I try explained below.

    Charge it every night, the battery is usually up to 50 - 60% at the end of the day at less than its use in excess.

    PROBLEM...

    Took my phone out of my pocket... saw it was turned off, turned on back... had to do a battery pull... it wouldn't work for some reason any... put my password 5 times, he said that was bad all 5 times?! Then he made me enter the word "blackberry" and it stops completely!

    Tried to re - install the operating system using Blackberry 101 off crackberry.com forum had hope for a second that my screen came back... but then it went dead again!

    All this, screen comes up with hourglass, goes to an audit of security software and then dies!

    I'm bored not because I do not have my saved stuff, I'm bored because I didn't know that as much as I hate having to rely on my BB, I rely on it a lot!  It is in very good condition, he had for a year & half and I even switched my chance to upgrade waiting for something better to come along.  Maybe I should have gotten upgraded now that I look.

    ANYONE ELSE HAVING PROBLEMS? PLEASE START POSTING! I need help and don't know what to do...

    As you have tried a charger, which essentially leaves the BB itself as the problem and known goot. I hope it is still under warranty - if so, you should take assessment. If not, then the path of your choice is different...

  • Problem of appointment blackBerry 8330 Smartphones?

    Hi all

    My wife and I just got an 8330, and we have a problem.  I can make an appointment in my calendar, but I don't seem to be able to understand how to send the appointment on the phone to my wife while we will know both what is happening.  I'm pulling what I left little hair.  This should not be difficult, and I must just be missing something.  HELP PLEASE!  Thanks in advance...

    On Outlook, it is just in the appointment under the topic and the site window. But I don't speak of Blackberry.

    When you are in the calendar and create a new appointment:

    1. first line is being
    2. second line is the location
    3. Press the Menu key and select the line "invite participants".

    It is a basic use of the Blackberry; I urge you to read the getting started guide that was provided in your box of bladckberry. You will discover how to capture the power of this small handheld computer. You can also read the help on your Blackberry.

    For example: Calendar app > help > meetings > schedule a meeting

    gives you all the information you need to book an appointment with your wife.

  • BlackBerry 8330 Smartphones do not push my GMAILS on the phone? something is wrong - please help - I've tried everything!

    PROBLEM: My 8330 don't push my gmails on the phone. I get messages from 1 of 4 pushed towards the phone. I have re-sent service books, I deleted and added gmail to my bb (thru BIS). I deleted the gmail off my outloook as well from my PC.

    I downloaded GMAIL to Google blckberry and that works, but I like my gmail to combine in my Inbox.

    I need a blackberry on this expert help.

    Support VERIZON was not able to solve this problem.

    In ADDITION the filter of gmail for duplicate messages does not work on my blackberry, which means that the messages I send on gmail.com or my BB back immediately as duplicates.

    I got 10 blackberry so I am not novice, Please HELP!

    It's so frustrating!

    Thank you in advance!

    Helfy

    I'll try what you did... entirely delete the account of the BIS Gmail account.

    - Then on your BB, Options > Advanced > Service books. Remove ALL instances of your Gmail email account there.

    -With the BlackBerry device powered time, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    -Then add the Gmail account to your configuration of BIS. And click on send Service directories while you're there.

    HOWEVER, I would do nothing of this earlier, as there are currently this morning a RIM BIS account integration power outage, or downtime. Wait a few hours until that which is cleared up.

  • BlackBerry 8330 smartphones not seen by computer

    Hi, I have a new 8330 and there is a disconnected alert Desktop Manager, when I connect to the computer and will not see the PIN code. When I go in the options and try to connect, it does not detect the device. It is not the Blackberry because it works on other computers (Vista and XP systems) but not the main I need which is an ACER Windows XP. On the Blackberry itself it does not even show the little indicator "connected" on the battery icon and it will appear on the computer as an external storage device when I connect via USB. I connected it directly to all six ports and nothing.

    I followed all of the threads that I could find, making several clean reinstalls 4.2, 4.3, 4.7. I closed off the power to the USB ports as recommended, out the battery for a few minutes, and I started in safe mode, but also removed the? driver in Device Manager. When in safe mode I at least get the connection with the mass storage option the 8330 that I say yes to but don't get always the computer to see the blackberry as an external storage even. The wizzard asks me if I want to install the software but does nothing about installing it.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance

    After having plugged the BB into a USB port and clicking on COMPUTER to view all of your readers, it does not show as a drive?

  • BlackBerry 8330 smartphones - button "Check for Updates" on the site Web works not

    With device of "on" and connected to my PC through USB, I tried several times last week Web site update button. Nine times out of ten, the moment where I click on product 'Error on page' at the bottom of the screen and repeat clicking on gets me nowhere. Once ten trials, a progress bar appears at the bottom of the screen. It takes usually 30 minutes before reaching 50% 45 minutes, there has been no progress and 'Error on page' appears. I have the BB Desktop Manager software installed on the PC.

    Just do the upgrade manually... much more easy and more secure (in my opinion):

    See the link below for download and simple installation instructions.

    First find your operator and the system operating file that you want to use.
    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

    Make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close the office at the end Manager.

    1. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.
    2. go in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • BlackBerry 8330 smartphones does not load

    LED turns red whwn initially plugged, then turns off.  Sometimes the screen turns on and there is a battery with a lightning bolt.  Do I need a new battery or is there a malfunction in the phone?

    Problem seems to have resolved itself.  I'm assuming that the battery has been completely drained.

  • Verizon blackBerry 8330 Smartphones and Outlook synchronization via a USB cable.

    I need to get a new Verizon phone that syncs with Outlook 2007 on my PC to keep my current schedule phone. I was told my Verizon support only the MOTO Q would do that unless I paid $44 / month for internet package for the 8330. This doesn't look right, it includes a data cable with the 8330. I do not have Instant Messenger or just an occasional calendar sync with my PC to internet browsing. Can someone let me know if the $44 is required?

    In addition, turn-by-turn directions works on the 8330?

    Thank you...

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    The 8330 comes with a USB cable and desktop software that will synchronize your calendar, contacts, memos and tasks.

    It is compatible with Outlook 2007. The data services package is not required on the 8330 for these functions.

    Verizon uses the program of VZ navigator for turn-by-turn directions. It costs an extra $10-15. I tried is it's

    adequate. Note, unless you use the Vz Navigator, the GPS is locked on the phone.

    Verizon is my carrier as well.

    Please let me know if you need help!

    If not please take a minute and solve the thread by using the options on the star of the Kudo.

    Thank you!
