Yesterday I discovered that I am not able to charge my BB 8310 anymore. Plugged into the normal 110V outlet, I seem to get no charge. I tried several different chargers and still nothing. Today I tried to plug into my computer via USB, which I have done many times before and now get the message "causing power surge on hub port". Nothing I do changes this. How do I get it to charge??????
I am having to send my wife's curve out for repair today as it seems that the very fine connections made to the circuit board from the power port have come away. This port seems to be very fragile, and poorly designed IMHO given that it has to be used so frequently.
Yes they are very fragile, my suggestion would be get a charging dock where the contacts on the back of the device are used for charging. they are quite in expensive and you can find them on amazon and ebay

I'm having the same problem...my blackberry hasn't really been dropped, and is in great condition...so I don't understand why its not working. But for two days now, it won't charge with the wall charger, or the USB outlet. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. I removed the battery and the sim...I've left it on the charger even when it said it wasnt charging...I left it alone for a whole day and came back to it and tried again, and still nothing...every now and then it will turn on for a min. when i plug it in, but the screen is really dull, and it shuts right back off again.
I bought the charging dock and it works fine to charge. The only issue that I'm having now is that I can not transfer any info between the computer and phone. I'm looking into a bluetooth solution.
Mines doing the same thing. Customer support thinks it is the battery, so we'll try to replace that first, but it sounds like it's the unit itself. I get the same symptoms, including an error on the USB port of my laptop when I plug it in.
