Blackberry Bold fails to boot up

I having been using my BB 9000 the same as I normally do, I then removed the battery to clear the cache and when it re-booted, it failed to boot up normally, now there is just a white screen.
I have tried different batteries, I have tried removing the micro SD card and every other alternative.
Please advise ASAP. All my data is on the device.

SOURCE: Blackberry Bold fails to boot up

Try to restore the blackberry without the battery inserted. Google instructions on how to upgrade the BB firmware. Does the device seem to boot normally, but with a white screen? Then it's a broken screen. Does it not seem to boot even after the firmware restore or the restore error out - then it's a broken motherboard. Both can be replaced fairly easily. Here is an Blackberry Repair Guide that shows how to open a Blackberry. If you want somebody else to do it for you go to Blackberry Repair.

Uncaught java.null. exception every time mention after I reboot my bold 9700

Can you use the BlackBerry, or is it locked up? It sounds like an application error -- did you just download or install a new application or game? If so, uninstall it and see if the error message goes away.

You can also try clearing your Java cache and all temporary files to see if that clears it up. Have you tried a battery pull?

I have a blackberry bold 9000 and it does not turn on only the red light comes on and a battery with a lightning on it in the screen.

That symbol is normally used to imply a low state of battery charge which (if it has been charged) can mean that one cell in a multi-cell battery pack has failed and will require replacement.

My BB 9000 doesn't turn on. A red light is flashing for a while and then disappear. A remove the baterry but it doesn't work. A connect the BB to my laptop and the red light appear flashing again.

Hi,

Remove the battery place it back in and charge the battery for a while. After doing this press the standby key that's found on the top corner edge of your BB 9000. Switch the blackberry on and press the standby key once more. This would solve the problem.

Callers cant hear me but i can hear them

Hi,

Turn off your blackberry and take the battery out, place it back in and turn it back on.

If this fails to work then your mouthpiece is faulty, please contact a blackberry certified personnel within your area.

It would cost you below $20 to fix this.

Blackberry bold suddenly shut down

Lots of battery issues with the Bold. Try taking the battery out, keeping it out and connecting to PC with USB. Do any lights come on? Red light should appear. Put battery in while connected to USB.

Another fix that I found for a friend-leave the battery out of the unit for a day-put it in and plug in power cord or USB. It worked.
