I dropped my BlackBerry 8700g. The screen went blank. I switched it off and tried to switch on again, but no luck. I tried a soft reset (Alt+Cap+Del), but again no luck. I removed and re-inserted the battery; the LED lights up RED for a few seconds and then goes off. Still it does not switch on. I tried a hard reset; again still does not switch on. If I do a soft reset, the LED comes on for a few seconds and then goes off. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Please try to conect using active sync. see if it detects anything.

Usually when these symptoms occur after a drop it indicates the hardware is damaged. You could try to wipe and reload the operating system, but it is more than like damaged and in need of repair. I have seen that happen a lot after the device is dropped.

SOURCE: BlackBerry 8700g
It seems like its broke and dropping is not under manufacturers warranty either.

hi ihav bb8700g i hav installed a theame from internet after that my phone is not getting on can anyone has an idea to solve this prob.
never dropped my phoe but it went completely dead on me and now it wont charge back up
I downloaded software from the internet and got a message with option to reboot, which Iselected(nothing unusual) then i get the grey screen with "JVN" error 102 and the "reset" option. Selecting reset has the same result. Have tried removing the battery but same screen appears.
I have never been able to link the device to my laptop although I have installed the software.
Supplier indicates the phone needs to be sent to RIM in Canada - I am in South Africa, Africa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a Blackberry Curve and dropped my phone (not hard and in a plastic case), but now there's a white screen. I tried to shut the phone off with the end button and do a soft resent, but nothing. Help!
error 102
8700g Won't Switch On
i have the same problem
I have the same problem - i dropped my phone and screen does not swicth on, although the LED lights up red for a few seconds. The phone is on, cos it rings when a call comes through, any help????
same thing, dropped my 8700g in a parking lot and pieces flew in different directions and I knew exactly what I was in for...the screen goes white when I try and make it work, I put in the battery and I get (random and inconsistent) patterns of flashing lights, some red, some yellow (like the battery low light)
unbelievably frustrating, I had a similar problem about a month ago where I dropped it and through a random process of plugging it in and taking the battery in and out i was able to fix it. totally pissed at the moment.
BB8700 frooze , then I switched it off and on - blank screen. Then off-and on again (battery out) and then: nothing. Just the red light that switches on when I put the battery back in. Nothing else.
