Thread: Blackberry Bold 9000 won't turn on, won't connect to the computer, and only shows flashing red light

Recently my Blackberry Bold 9000's back case had been loose so the battery kept getting disconnected. I ordered a case and just dealt with the phone for the time being. However, a week ago the battery got disconnected (this was happening about 5 times a day) so I just put it back in as I had been doing. The blackberry went through its reboot cycle but once it finished, the screen flashed white and the phone died. Since then, I have been unable to turn my phone on at all. The only signs of life my phone has been showing is that a red light blinks whenever I charge it, but I haven't been able to turn it on at all. I believe that this is a problem with the Operating System, but unfortunately all of the computers that I have tried to use haven't recognized my phone at all. I have surfed the blackberry forums and Internet for several days and haven't found anything to help me out. I have probably checked every forum and done everything recommended, from how to repair a nuked blackberry to how to recover a dead blackberry. As of right now buying a new phone kinda isn't an option (I'm pretty much broke) so PLEASE can I get some help?!?!? A fast reply would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Have you tried the nuke recovery method by connecting your device to the computer without the battery in?
