My TI83 shows strange blocks when I start it, tried different batteries, hard(removing backup cell)/soft reset, action is nearly impossible as it is barely readable but it responds to every button. Here is a vid: If you can comment if you can fix it it'd be great!

hard reset the device but this process clean your data, so first make backup,try 1st soft reset and 2nd hard reset, www.hard-reset.com

If your BlackBerry Bold 9000 series device is frozen, rebooting or not responding, you will probably want to reset the unit. Here are the different types of resets that can be performed in the order they should be tried.

Remember your data will we wiped. So make a backup.

Soft Reset
Press ALT + RIGHT SHIFT(CAP) + DELETE.

Double-Soft Reset
Press ALT + RIGHT SHIFT(CAP) + DELETE . The screen will go blank for a few seconds. When the screen comes back on, immediately press ALT + RIGHT SHIFT(CAP) + DELETE again.

Hard Reset
If none of the above works, pull the battery out of the unit for a few seconds, then reinsert it.

Your mobile has a problem with software so take it to the Verizon customer care or any mobile technical expert

H,you can reset the phone,might restore lost icons.

Note: you will have to backup data cause data might be lost when reset is done.

There are three main types of Reset that apply to the Blackberry. These are listed in order below. Instructions for Blackberry Pearl are slightly different - see bottom section of the Tip.

1) Soft Reset - simply press the ALT+RIGHT SHIFT(CAP)+DELETE keys.

This reset stops all applications that are running on the Blackberry and will help if you are having problems connecting the device to computer. This reset will not erase any information from your device.

2) Double Soft Reset - this reset is almost equivalent to a full hard reset. First perform a Soft Reset as outlined in Step 1.

As soon as the screen is no longer black - repeat the steps once again exactly as before.

This takes you to another screen showing an hour glass. Allow the device to reset. This helps if the device has suffered a more serious error. Be aware you may loose some information from your device. A backup is advised prior to proceeding if at all possible.

3) Hard Reset - this is the full blown reset and will fully reset the device to help resolve critical errors with software or hardware. Again back up important information before proceeding if possible.

Note: For RIM models 850, 857, 950, or 957, you must insert the end of a paperclip or similar blunt object into a small recessed hole on the back of the unit and depress the switch inside. The device will reboot and be hard reset.

Other Models: With the device turned on - remove the battery for 30 seconds or more. Now replace the battery. The device will reboot and be hard reset.

Blackberry Pearl: To reset to factory defaults enter 'Options' from the main menu. Scroll to Security Options and press the trackball. Choose 'General Settings'.

Press the left soft key, then scroll to "Wipe Handheld" with the trackball and press the trackball. To initiate the factory reset, your phones security code may be required in order for the process to complete. Your phone will now be restored to its original settings on leaving the factory.

A hard reset can be achieved with the Pearl in the same way as outlined at Step 3 by removing the battery.

Be aware that resets such as these may erase data, such as contacts, ring tones, pictures, text messages and stored Internet files and emails. Make sure to back up important information beforehand if at all possible. You can obtain software to back up the device to your computer directly from Blackberry right here.

Hope this Tip helps. If so please do leave a vote for the solution.

Thanks.

First try SOFT RESET

5) Press ALT + W ( TO FORMAT ALL DATA)

Note: When I write the sign + you don't have to press the + sign, it means that you need to press both keys @ the same time.

its obsolete now, why use this thing?
wait for battery? then post?
or go to HP and ask them,
we are not HP, this is chat bs boxes here.

ever heard of HP? this is the official HP forum, try it?

If HP cant help you who can,
learn this ,when compelled to mess with obsolete products
buy 2 of them for like $3 on fleabay (most are in the trash now)
then mix and match parts, all day.
its obsolete, so doing tests on it lacking full spares is impossible.
why not buy a $3 used smart phone from same place,

Resetting the BlackBerry device is a useful way to resolve issues and is usually the first step in troubleshooting the BlackBerry device. Knowing the differences between a hard, soft, double-soft, and master reset ensures that the correct troubleshooting method has been chosen. Note: Backup all applications before resetting the BlackBerry device using the Backup and Restore tool on the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.

Please follow the below steps or resetting

Performing a SOFT reset on the BlackBerry device Performing a soft reset stops all applications on the BlackBerry device by pressing the ALT+RIGHT SHIFT(CAP)+DELETE keys. A soft reset re-establishes communication between the BlackBerry device and the computer.
Note: This does not apply to the BlackBerry® Pearl™ smartphone.
Performing a DOUBLE-SOFT reset on the BlackBerry device Performing a double-soft reset stops all applications on the BlackBerry device and is nearly the equivalent of a hard reset. Timing however is critical. Perform a soft reset by pressing the ALT+RIGHT SHIFT(CAP)+DELETE keys. The screen will go blank. When the screen is no longer black, press the ALT+RIGHT SHIFT(CAP)+DELETE keys again. You should then see another blank screen followed by an hour glass.
Note: This does not apply to the BlackBerry® Pearl™ smartphone.

Just had the same problem. When you take the battery out, leave it out for 4-5 minutes. Then when you put it in and reset while holding the on/off red button, it should start. Mind did. Good luck.
