A lot of our BB 7290s eventually start having issues finding the network and will show up with an X in the network signal strength area. I assume these have some sort of hardware damage internally that render them useless?
I guess I am just trying to confirm this more than anything because nothing I have ever been able to do solves this issue. This happens on some after being in service for a while. I try wiping them clean and reloading the software, resetting by battery removal etc. The SIM is a good one and works well in other phones.
Any words of advice or do I just keep letting these pile up in the BB graveyard?

How much free memory are you showing BEFORE you pull the battery?

If you want to donate some spare parts for a 7290 - I'll be glad to pay for shipping

and also in status what is the reading for signal strength in dBm if you got 255 or no singal is deff a hardware issue, if it does show something around a 100, could be some os issue. did you try different version of the OS, running 4.0 or 4.1
