Thread: Dead torch

Hi Can anyone help - my torch died in mid text. The only thing showing is the red light which dies quickly.
I have connected to my pc and it finds the torch for approx 15 seconds but still only the red light. It then dies for about the same time - this just loops but nothing on screen. Just the red light light.

Any ideas - btw out of warranty by 5 weeks

Hi, would it be worth trying a new battery first as I checked it with a multimeter and it is completely flat despite having been fully charged a couple of hours before it died?

I am trying to follow the instructions for recovery but when I install the Desktop manager from the link on instructions there is no AppLoader tag. It reads:Program Files(x86)/Research In Motion/Blackberry Desktop: Then there is no AppLoader to open? Am I doing something wrong??

I would definitely try the battery mine did exactly the same thing

Have you installed the OS you want to load on your BlackBerry?

Did you look in this path as well: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader What operating system are you running?

Tried all suggestions - phone was completely dead. Blackberry replaced it.
