My BB reboots instantly when plugged into PC

[papa2ae]

Hello guys,

Im new to the forums and im kind of a novice user when it gets to these gadgets :/

Anyhow - as soon as i plug in my curve 8900 into my PC using USB it just shut down then the red light stays on and basically goes into hard reboot.

im sure its not a problem with the cable as my other curve (exactly the same) works like a charm ...

Any help is greatly appreciated,

regards,

Might be a hardware issue, my Storm reboots 4-5 times a day just when it receives a new message. And mind you, this is with 40+ MB of App memory, and nothing other than the main 5 items running.

The newer BBs aren't build like the older :(

I have seen this problem before. Its usually due to the soldering getting screwed on the USB port. Its usually caused by yanking out the USB cable with force..if you do that alot that might have done this...

I could be wrong..see if you can plug it in and set it somewhere on the table where it will not move and try loading a new OS.

Hopefully its not the USB port on the device..
