I had this same problem yesterday. I found out that i had a completely dead battery. Your phone takes some of the battery's energy and holds it for when your phone dies. But even if your phone is off it wont hold the energy. What you need to do is have someone with energy in their phone to charge your battery and it should work just fine. Hope this helps. $T-money$

The sim card may not be put in correctly, or it may need to be slid back or fourth a little bit. I had this same problem, but continued playing with my phone until I figured it out, now of course with a blackberry it took awhile to come back on, but no more irritating red light and black screen. Voila!

check your USB connection to see if all the pins are there. Mine turned out to be missing a pin - luckily, still under warranty, I am awaiting a replacement unit.

I have had the exact same problem. I opened up back-cover, and removed the battery. I noticed that one of the 'springs'-persay weren't up-to-par with the others! I pried it up to par, and put the battery back in. Turned the phone back on, and it restarted with a 100% full-battery.
Hope this helps?

Hello Everyone. I own a blackberry 8800, andi had the same reoblem with the RED flashing LED and the black screen. I tried the stunt with removing the SIM car, but no luck. Anyway, what i did, was replace the SIM into the slot, and I left out the battery for approximately 5 minues. I then rplaced the battery, and the phone worked. It is probablt a case where the operating system needed to reset, and it needed the batter out for a bit to completly do so.
Hope this helped.

Mine (pearl 8100) wouldn't turn on after a battery pull... red light just blinked.. computer would intermittently recognize that it was connected (only when red light had blinked on)... this how I solved...
1. While BBerry connected to computer remove battery then SimCard.
2. Replace the battery then restart the device and wait until the device screen is displayed. (may say to replace SimCard on display screen)
3. Disconnect the device from your computer. (...after closing Desktop Manager if it is open)
4. Power down the device by holding the power button.
5. Remove the battery and replace the SimCard and the battery... then power up your device again.
Not sure why but the key seemed to be removing the SimCard, powering it up connected via the computer then powering down properly, replacing the SimCard then powering up again..
Worked for me anyway... Hope it helps!

I had the same problem & I looked here for help. I found the problem! It has to do with the themes, I had changed my theme to t-mobile zen, I think it the default theme & it has the my faves Icon displayed on the screen & the other icons at the bottom. Under the my faves icons it has the option to hide the icons...when my phone stayed on long enough for me to click on it I did & it said something like, my faves off. After that my phone began to restart itself again & stayed on...YAAAY!!! I immediately changed my theme. Well I hope this will help everyone else with this same problem! =D

my blackberry just switched off during a call and never came back on.There's a flashing red light when i try charging it...what is wrong?
Comment by Gamster, posted on Feb 09, 2009
I've had a BlackBerry Pearl 8100 for about, 2 months now and for some reason it wont turn on at all. All there is of life is a flashing red light. I've charged it for hours, and still... it won't turn on. I've switched batteries, sim cards, and that other smaller chip. Yet, it won't turn on. If anyone could give me a solution it would be greatly appriciated!

My blackberry pearl has a red blinking light and won't turn on. I charged it but when it does turn on, it turns right back off again. The battery has a red slip on the side with x's if that means anything. When it turns on, the battery meter is yellow but it won't stay on. I put a new sim card in it that is different from the one that was in it before. Anyone can help?

I've been using my BB pearl 8100 for almost 2 month now and already I'm having problems. The phone shuts off by it self and starts to blink a red light & It won't stop until I take out the battery. When I replace the battery it does the same thing. I don't know what to do! Please help :-(

my blackberry pearl 8100 just stopped working. bought a new battery and when i put the battery in all the phone does is have a red light flashes oonce and thats it nothing. can anyone help me?
Comment by atbara, posted on Nov 11, 2008
For no apparent reason the Blackberry Pearl 8100 I have (5 weeks old) stopped working. The only thing it does now is flash its red light at me 4 times in quick succession then repeats this exciting process. SIM card and battery have been removed, the phone charged and nothing. Interestingly this failure corresponds to Vodafone having a service fault - which is now sorted, but I am left with a useless phone.

redlight blinks
Comment by swilkinson, posted on May 22, 2008
I left my phone sitting on my desk (it was working fine). When I came back an hour or so later, the screen was black and the red light was blinking (one slow, then four fast). I can't turn it on. I've taken out the battery. Tried charging it. Tried syncing it (I use PocketMac). Called T-Mobile, they said it's a software error and I have to re-load all of the software, which in the process will erase all my data. I'm bummed. :(

MY blackberry pearl will not charge
Comment by Guest, posted on Apr 18, 2008
My phone looked like it was charging at first, but still wouldn't charge! I tried different plugs but none worked. After i plugged it in the first time it didn't even show that it was "charging". I think it might be the battery, but I'm not quit sure.
Comment by perfectrice, posted on Apr 12, 2008
This happened to me two days ago. It just won't charge. I plug in the charger, it "appears" to charge for a few seconds with the red light blinking, and then it completely shuts off. I've tried different chargers and outlets. What gives? I've never dropped it or exposed it to moisture and I've had it for about 8 months.

My phone did the same thing on April 02 and now i have no idea what to do!!!!!!!
Comment by Guest, posted on Apr 05, 2008
All was fine when I turned it off last night; tried to power on this morning and NOTHING! It was never exposed to water. So I took the battery out and re-installed. NOTHING. Plugged into USB; red indicator light came on briefly, then went off again. Keeping it plugged in to USB, eventually a symbol appears showing that the battery is NOT charging.
Comment by haguerw, posted on Apr 02, 2008
My blackberry froze up one night so I took the battery out thinking I could turn it back on once I put it back in. Now the battery is back in but I just have this red flashing light and the phone won't turn on. What do I do?
