Get some ipa [isopropanol] leave phone submerged in same for a few hours [with battery removed] then remove from ipa, leave for 24 - 48 hrs as long as you can and it should come back to life. All the components in your phone are waterproof so the ipa will eliminate the moisture and should make you happy again.

My blackberry pearl 8100 wont turn on. The screen is black and the red light blinks 4 times and then stops!

Your Blackberry probably just needs a firmware restore. Here's a guide on how to restore the blackberry firmware, the website is at : Restore Blackberry to factory settings. Download the Blackberry Desktop manager and run the application loader. If it asks you for a password, you can enter it 10x wrong and that will wipe the blackberry as well.

Blackberry pearl won't turn on

There are no special ways of turning on the Blackberry.

Simply power on - it is fully charged - if this doesn't work, remove the battery for a couple of seconds and re-try power on.

Dropped phone won't work

You've ruined your blackberry to say the least. I used to have the blackberry pearl, your going to have to take it to a technician because you probably damaged some internal hardware. Your best bet is to take it to a technician to have it repaired, if they can even repair it, or buy a used blackberry from your cell phone company. Kinda sucks, but that is how they make there money- and get a touch case if you choose to get a new one. Swissgear is very very durable! Sorry your having a problem! Wish you the best of luck.

Blackberry pearl wont go past the white screen with the hour glas

the only thing that you can do with this issue is try wiping the software clean and reinstalling fresh software. You would need the blackberry desktop manager first installed on your home computer. If you dont have the cd the program is more then likely available on your mobile providers website. Once the program is downloaded and installed follow these directions

To perform this procedure, follow the steps below:
  1. Remove the battery from the BlackBerry device.
  2. Double-click Application Loader in BlackBerry Desktop Manager while the BlackBerry device is not connected to the computer.
  3. Click Next on the Welcome to the Application Loader Wizard screen.
  4. When the Communication Port Selection screen appears, connect the BlackBerry device.
  5. When the USB-PIN option appears, click Next. The Device Application Selection screen should appear.
  6. Re-insert the battery and allow the process to complete.
