Blackberry 8100 will not switch on

The flashing red light is telling you that the battery is almost drained down to capacity and that the phone must be plugged in now. When the charge is this low you are going to have to leave the phone recharge for at least 12 hours before trying to use it again. Once the phone is turned back on, the phone will reset itself. Good luck.

My Blackberry 8520 just shut itself down and when I try to turn it back on nothing happens but when I put it into the wall charger the red LED light comes on and a charging symbol but still doesnt switch on.
Ive tried of mulitiple occasions taking out the battery and rebooting it but still no sign of any life?
Any Idea's?

The red light is telling you that your phone is on. It will flash regaurdless if you have a text or not. When you charge it the light turns green.
Thats how they're made :)

I just called Verizon Wireless who said that the phone may need to be charged completely for a few hours. Try taking the battery out and putting it back on as well.

my phone wont stay on and when it does come back on it shuts right back off. the LED light on the front keeps flashing red. ive taken the battery out and everything and nothing seems to work. help please!

this happened to me and i just shut the phone down took out the battery waited 3-4 mins put battery back in do not turn on phone but put it on charge and it should be ok.

It could need a new battery or a new charger. Do you have a mobile phone store nearby to take it to to test it?

Try removing the Sim card and re-inserting it.

My wife and I both have Pearl's. I found that the problem on both of them was caused by Color Pearl, an application that allows you to change the color of the Pearl's trackball. It was not a problem until upgrading the Blackberry software to v 4.5. I tried rebooting, removing the battery, etc. The light always came back on after an alert. Removing the application ColorPearl did the trick. Just go to Options>Advanced Options>Applications and delete ColorPearl. Hope this helps someone.

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.
