Try to plug the device into your USB on your computer without the battery in and see what happens.

When did this start happening? Did you try to install a OS or app before it happened? Anymore detail you can give may help.

I noticed it in the morning after charging it, didn't update the os.

If at this point it does not respond to anything,its time for a replacement device.

Finally I got a solution but just for mine, still trying to do the same for my friends but hasn't work.

There's the solution
Connect ur bb to usb cable then connect the usb cable to ur system. At this point make sure ur battery is not inserted into the fone. Open ur blackberry desktop manager then click on update, once the update gets to the jvm quickly insert the battery n leave it to install. U might need to keep clicking on retry severally incase it doesn't start loading automatically

And you got both devices to boot back up normally?

Yes, after insering the battery, I left it install then it boots the normal way it should. But this worked for just mine. I want to try this while process on another lappy n see how it goes.

Keep us up to date and that's great that you were able to figure it out.

Ok I will, might probably send the video of the whole process to youtube for easier understanding.
